TheMarker reports that eligibility for Israel's 'Discounted Apartment' (Machir Le'Mishkane) housing lottery may be withdrawn even from those who took part in past lotteries and remained on waitlists. The report also says a school holiday camp discount may be canceled starting next school year, as part of a broader policy push described as targeting those who do not serve in the military during the ongoing security crisis.
TheMarker reports that the Israeli government's push to limit housing and welfare benefits for those who do not serve in the military may be widened. According to the report, the 'Discounted Apartment' (Machir Le'Mishkane) program could see eligibility revoked for thousands of past participants who never won a lottery and remain on waitlists, not only for future entrants. The report additionally states that a school holiday camp fee subsidy will be withdrawn starting the next school year. The policy is described in the report as targeting those who avoid military conscription, against the backdrop of the ongoing security crisis. No official confirmation or government statement has been published yet. The development follows a High Court petition filed last week against the exclusion of ultra-Orthodox youth from the housing lottery, as The Zioneer reported on June 11.
