Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a sharp call to Finance Ministry officials to immediately approve the recommendations of the Mor Yosef Committee for the rehabilitation of wounded security personnel. The demand comes after the government removed the report's adoption from its agenda, leaving the rehabilitation budget unfunded.
Defense Minister Israel Katz on Tuesday called on Finance Ministry officials to immediately approve the Mor Yosef Committee's recommendations for the rehabilitation of wounded IDF soldiers and security personnel. The demand follows the government's removal of the report's adoption from its agenda, as The Zioneer reported earlier today, leaving the rehabilitation budget unfunded. Katz's statement, published via his office, did not specify the budget amount or timeline for approval. The Mor Yosef Committee, established to address the long-term needs of wounded security personnel, has been a point of contention between the Defense and Finance ministries amid broader defense budget shortfalls.
