The Knesset Finance Committee is now in session, broadcasting live on Knesset Channel 99, discussing changes to the 2026 budget, according to the Knesset Channel's live feed.
The Knesset Finance Committee convened Wednesday morning for a live session on Knesset Channel 99 to discuss changes to the 2026 state budget. The agenda and specific proposals under consideration were not disclosed in the broadcast announcement. The committee's work occurs against the backdrop of broader budget negotiations. Earlier this month, the National Security Council decided on a gradual 40 billion shekel increase to the 2026 defense budget, as The Zioneer reported. The State Comptroller also warned in June that over 30 billion shekels in budget changes were approved in a single month in December 2024, calling it an unprecedented blow to fiscal management. The Finance Committee has previously been the venue for debates on budget transfers and coalition funding.
