The Israeli government approved the recommendations of the Mor Yosef Committee, led by Prof. Mor Yosef, to overhaul the national treatment and rehabilitation system for wounded IDF and security force personnel. The reform also addresses support for families accompanying the rehabilitation process, according to an official announcement.
The Israeli government approved the Mor Yosef Committee's recommendations early Thursday, adopting a comprehensive reform of the national treatment and rehabilitation framework for wounded IDF and security force personnel. The decision, announced by the Prime Minister's Office, also includes support for family members accompanying the lengthy rehabilitation process.
The reform comes after months of public and political pressure. As The Zioneer reported, the government had previously dropped the rehabilitation budget from the agenda in mid-July, drawing criticism from advocacy groups. The Defense Ministry's Rehabilitation Division had warned in early July that the system was 'on the verge of collapse,' with 26,200 wounded personnel in treatment, 65% of whom sought mental health care.
The Mor Yosef Committee, chaired by Prof. Mor Yosef, was established to evaluate the national response to the needs of wounded soldiers and security personnel. Its recommendations include increased funding, streamlined bureaucratic processes, and expanded mental health services. The government's approval marks a significant step toward addressing the long-term care needs of those injured in the ongoing conflict.
