Israeli Supreme Court halts 409M Shekels of coalition funds
The Israeli Supreme Court issued a provisional order preventing the transfer of 409 million shekels from coalition funds, which were approved during the election holiday, to support settlement projects and Haredi institutions, until a petition submitted by an association advocating for religious freedom and equality, as well as Knesset member Nema Lazimi, is decided. The freeze includes the transfer of 286 million shekels to the Ministry of Education and 123 million shekels to the Ministry of Settlement, following criticisms regarding the procedures of the financial committee session that approved the transfers during the holiday without official approval. The judges considered that the session was held unlawfully and that the decision requires judicial review to verify its legality, emphasizing that the measure is temporary until a final ruling is issued.
