Haaretz: Ben-Gvir's Ministry Did Not Allocate Funds for Palestinian Crime
Haaretz revealed that the Israeli Ministry of National Security, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, did not utilize hundreds of millions of shekels allocated for combating crime in the Arab community, returning the funds to the Ministry of Finance. The ministry has spent two-thirds of its 2026 budget of 300 million shekels so far, with about 67% of its funds spent in 2025. Despite billions of shekels allocated to the program, a significant portion of the funds has remained unused, leading to accumulated unspent amounts. Much of the funding has been focused on hiring police officers, even though the desired objectives have not been achieved due to staff shortages and operational challenges amid rising crime rates—especially within the Arab community, which has seen a notable increase in murder victims since Ben-Gvir took charge. The number of Arab victims was 108 in 2022 and rose to 251 in 2025, with more than 170 deaths already recorded in 2026.
