Prime Minister's Office Statement
Israel - Prime Minister's Office
The 37th Government
26.11.2023
Updated date: 27.11.2023
Tomorrow, we will submit to the Government an unprecedented NIS 30 billion budget for a month-and-a-half, which meets the needs of the war.
The budget will fully meet the defensive and offensive needs of the IDF; look after the families of the hostages, the wounded, the fallen and those who have been murdered, as well as evacuated families in hotels and guest houses; and ensure that the Israeli economy will continue to work and prosper.
The budget will support reservists, the Tekuma Authority for the rehabilitation of the communities, businesses that have been hurt and emergency squads as well as the health, social welfare and education needs of all citizens of Israel.
The coalition funds have already been cut by over 70%, NIS 1.6 billion, and what remains is designated for civic needs such as teachers' salaries and not any political use.
The political debate is over 1% of the overall budget.
The budget is large and significant because the Israeli economy is stable and strong.
