| Description | LGBT people regardless of gender are allowed to engage in such acts once old enough according to the law. In 1953 the police was ordered to refrain from enforcing the law against homosexual acts by the Israeli government. In 1963 Israel's Highest Court decides that individuals who committed consensual homosexual acts privately couldn't be punished and even before that there are no records of punishments by civilian courts against people who committed consensual homosexual acts privately. The law was officially repealed by the Knesset ( the Israeli Parliament ) in 1988, but it's enforcement was illegal since 1963 in most cases. |
