The IDF Disabled Veterans Organization on Wednesday accused the Treasury of attempting to advance cuts to benefits for wounded soldiers, including revoking the disabled veteran status of thousands of PTSD victims, while simultaneously sending a celebratory media announcement about committee decisions. The organization said the move was blocked by the Defense Ministry and the group's opposition.
The accusation comes amid ongoing tensions over the rehabilitation budget for wounded soldiers. As The Zioneer previously reported, the Knesset recently approved a law capping attorney fees for disabled veterans, and the organization's chairman had described the budget fight as a matter of national resilience rather than politics.
The Treasury has not yet responded to the allegations. The details of the proposed cuts remain unconfirmed, and it is not clear whether the Treasury will renew the effort.
