Independent Tel Aviv Escorts

Oh, isn't this grand news! Israel has decided not to prosecute brothels anymore, but here's the twist - as long as these brothels are owned by the hardworking women who actually work there.

Now, don't get too excited! While the laws against prostitution haven't changed, the state's prosecution office made a splendid promise on Monday. They won't go after charges against the prostitutes if they happen to be running their business from their own cozy homes or rented premises.

This splendid commitment came about during an ongoing court case in the Tel Aviv peace court. Judge Itay Harmelin is the star here, aiming to protect these diligent women from the dreadful violent pimps and even the pesky police harassment by getting them off the streets.

But hold your horses! The Justice Ministry's sneaky move to kind of, sort of, make prostitution legal might not sit well with everyone in politics.

Most Israeli politicians aren't keen on openly supporting legalization, and even the main women's rights groups are against it, believe it or not.

Here's a twist in the tale! There's a new law making its way through the Knesset. This law wants to criminalize the clients instead of the hardworking prostitutes. It's authored by the splendid Meretz Leader Zehava Galon and Shuli Muallem-Refaeli of Jewish Home.

Guess what? The Internal Security Ministry likes this proposal, but only if the police get extra help to enforce this new law. Quite a turn of events, wouldn't you say? Cheers to changes, but with a hint of controversy!

I miss it so much. I really miss it - the freedom of it. All the craziness that happens there: the possibilities, the stimulation, everything. Going somewhere, doing something, meeting people. It feels like an amusement park. It’s like turning a light on and off. When the light is on, that's prostitution. When there’s no prostitution – it’s like the light is off.

Seven Israeli women who have been there, who have worked in prostitution and made a living from giving their bodies to men, sit facing the camera and tell their stories in ways that are sometimes hard to reconcile with the common view of the profession.

They are eloquent, thoughtful – they speak with openness about the difficult moments they experienced, about violence, disrespect, humiliation and trauma – but in the same breath also describe surprising empowering experiences of feeling strong, independent and in control.
