The Evacuation and Reconstruction Law, enacted in 1965, aims to rehabilitate old neighborhoods in Israel, but initially did not require residents' consent for evacuation. Over time, changes to the law, such as the establishment of the Eiges Committee in 1996, led to a judgment of the system and the definition of the evacuation-reconstruction domain as a government policy. In 2006, the Evacuation and Reconstruction Law (Compensation) was enacted to regulate compensation for evacuated residents, defining a qualified majority of 80% of the apartments required for consent to evacuation. Further amendments, such as the one from October 2021, reduced the required majority to two-thirds and added protections for elderly residents. The law also addresses recalcitrant residents, defined as those who unreasonably refuse, and allows for legal proceedings against them. The law includes provisions protecting residents' rights and regulating the evacuation and reconstruction process, while providing compensation and benefits to evacuated residents.
