Abortion and contraception rules in Israel

SHAPE classifies family planning and abortion rights in Israel as restricted, combining abortion law and contraception policy.

Restricted framework

Last checked 14/09/2026 · This is information only, not advice or a recommendation.

  • Abortion: Abortion requires approval by a statutory committee under broad legal grounds; it is not formally available solely on request.
  • Contraception: EPF's 2026 contraception-policy score is 49.5%; the atlas records limited general coverage with targeted youth support.
  • Interpretation: The status combines legal rules and national policy access; regional availability and individual eligibility may differ.
