The government approved the proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to adopt the recommendations of the public committee chaired by Prof. Mor Yosef, leading to a comprehensive reform of the treatment and rehabilitation system for wounded IDF and security force personnel.
The government officially approved the recommendations of the Mor Yosef Committee on Thursday morning, adopting a comprehensive reform of the treatment and rehabilitation system for wounded IDF and security force personnel. The proposal, submitted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, was approved at 08:56 Jerusalem and reported simultaneously by multiple news outlets, including N12 and Ynet, as well as through an official government announcement.
The approval follows a series of developments in the government's handling of wounded veterans' affairs. As The Zioneer reported on July 8, the Prime Minister's Office announced that a government decision for disabled veterans would be brought for cabinet approval in the coming days. That commitment materialized Thursday morning with the formal adoption of the committee's recommendations. The decision was first reported by Nitzan Shapira (N12) and later confirmed by Ynet and the official statement, signaling cross-source corroboration of the government's move.
The reform is part of a broader legislative and policy effort to improve support for wounded soldiers. The Zioneer previously reported on June 9 that Israel passed a law capping attorney fees for security-force veterans seeking disability recognition, addressing what advocates described as a market failure. The Mor Yosef Committee's recommendations, which also include support for families accompanying the rehabilitation process, aim to overhaul the national response system.
Specific details of the reform measures have not yet been released. The government has committed to implementing the committee's recommendations, but the timeline and specific provisions remain pending. Further updates on the scope of the reforms are expected.
