The cabinet is expected to approve a yearly budget of 7 million shekels for a memorial site for former Prime Minister Golda Meir, and rename Highway 443 after former Foreign Minister David Levy, contradicting an earlier decision to use only numbers for road names.
The government is set to approve two symbolic decisions in today's cabinet meeting: an annual 7 million shekel budget for a memorial site honoring former Prime Minister Golda Meir, and the renaming of Highway 443 to 'Derech HaLevi'im' in memory of former Foreign Minister David Levy. Notably, the road renaming reverses a prior government policy that restricted road names to numbers only, a decision that drew criticism from the Levy family and political allies. The memorial site for Golda Meir, Israel's fourth prime minister, has been a long-standing project advanced by various government ministries.
