Israeli party leader Bennett shifts stance, proposes LGBTQ+ equality plan

Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett, who opposed same-sex marriage recognition a decade ago, now proposes a plan for full LGBTQ+ equality, including anti-discrimination, banning conversion therapy, and enshrining equality in a Basic Law, but avoids the term 'civil marriage'. The proposal's fate is uncertain amid coalition negotiations, marking a notable reversal in his political positioning.
