The government is set to approve a NIS 2.4 billion budget to encourage immigration of doctors eligible under the Law of Return, according to an official announcement. The plan aims to address the shortage of medical professionals by targeting Jewish physicians abroad.
The Israeli government is expected to approve a NIS 2.4 billion budget plan to encourage aliyah — immigration to Israel — of doctors who are eligible under the Law of Return, a single official announcement states. The Law of Return grants every Jew the right to immigrate to Israel and automatically receive citizenship. The initiative targets Jewish physicians abroad, aiming to address a shortage of medical professionals in the country's healthcare system. The plan's details, including the timeline and specific recruitment mechanisms, have not yet been published beyond the budget figure and target population. As this is a ministerial decision announcement rather than a finalized budget law, the scope and implementation remain subject to further government action and Knesset approval.
