The Knesset has extended the statute of limitations for sex offenses against minors, a move that reflects a legislative recognition of the emotional barriers that delay victims from coming forward. The new law allows prosecution of offenders until the victim reaches age 49, significantly widening the window for justice. The unanimous cross-party support suggests this was a consensus issue, but the practical impact will depend on how courts and law enforcement adapt to cases that may now surface decades after the abuse occurred.
