The Israeli regime has officially banned the consumption of prostitution, but prostitution still remains legal there. Israel's landmark law against the consumption of prostitution went into effect on July 10, a year and a half after it was passed. For the first time in Israels history, liability for prostitution lies with consumers. The police can now fine them thousands of shekels without punishing those who sell the services.
