Further 117 million shekels for settlements
The Israeli Ministry of Finance announced significant financial transfers during the parliamentary recess, including 117 million shekels allocated to the Ministry of Settlement. This has sparked opposition from Knesset members who fear that these funds will be used for political purposes during the election period, especially amidst rising tensions in the West Bank and an increase in settler attacks against Palestinians. In addition, the transfers include funding for archaeological work, security, Haredi education programs, and amounts designated to support religious and Torah institutions. The approval of these budgets is overseen by the Budget Committee in the Knesset. Critics express concern over the potential misuse of these funds for political aims and call for halting transfers with political implications, particularly given the tense security and political situation in the region.
