The goal of this study, the first of its kind in an Israeli context, was to examine the variables associated with the voting intentions of Israeli members of parliament vis-à-vis proposed legislation concerning the rights of people with disabilities. The study focused on these intentions within the broader context of other proposed social welfare legislation, including bills aimed at raising the minimum wage and increasing benefits for the elderly. Overall, legislators' perceptions about their party's platform on these topics were associated with the intention to participate in the voting for all three proposed laws. Additional variables associated with their intention to participate in the voting were previous contact with the target population in the “Increasing the Minimum Wage Law” and personal values in the “Increasing Benefits for the Aged Law.” Findings are discussed and compared in respect to disability policies in the United States and other European countries.
