Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.

The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.
