Knesset data shows half of reservist families with young children not receiving promised daycare subsidy

Data presented to the Knesset Labor and Welfare Committee reveals that about half of families with children aged 0–3 who are eligible for subsidized daycare — based on reserve service exceeding 60 days in 2024 — are not receiving the benefit. The revelation comes a day after the Finance Committee approved funding for daycare for draft-dodgers, drawing political fire.
