The government did not approve the cancellation of a budget deduction for Mochashar institutions—many of which are Haredi—due to legal difficulties, according to reporter Freind. A certain version of the proposal was approved, and a supplementary version is expected next week.
The government's failure to approve the cancellation of the deduction for Mochashar institutions—many of which are Haredi—highlights ongoing legal challenges in budget allocations for religious institutions. According to a report by Freind, a certain version of the proposal was approved, with a supplementary version expected next week. The issue of funding for Haredi institutions has been under scrutiny. The Zioneer previously reported on the Education Ministry's examination of preferential budgeting for religious students, the Attorney General's directive to prepare for cutting daycare subsidies for families of draft-dodgers, and the Keren Olam HaTorah fund's support for yeshivas facing tax-exemption issues.
