The Knesset Labor and Welfare Committee scheduled an urgent Wednesday hearing on medical committees and recognition procedures in the Defense Ministry's Rehabilitation Department after an appeal from the Fighting Diamonds forum. The forum says wounded veterans face prolonged proceedings, repeated panels and uncertainty over status and rights, and objects to what it describes as widespread temporary-disability determinations. Its July 30 letter asks the ministry to explain recognition caseloads, staffing, decision times and review safeguards. Knesset open-data records list the committee session for August 12 at 9:00 a.m.
