Smotrich criticizes Israel Security Ministry for overspending
The Israeli Ministry of Finance, headed by Bezalel Smotrich, has accused the Ministry of Security of repeatedly exceeding its allocated budget without parliamentary oversight. The dispute revolves around military spending and ammunition procurement. Smotrich confirmed that the ministry manages its budget in accordance with the law and makes necessary adjustments based on security developments. He also indicated that there are currently no signs of a shortage in ammunition purchases or stockpiling efforts. Conversely, Smotrich has called on the Foreign and Security Committee to examine the mechanisms of security expenditure management and to impose stricter oversight, warning that the security budget for 2026 could be increased to around 183 billion shekels to boost spending, which might lead to higher fiscal deficits and inflation.
