The Knesset Finance Committee approved approximately NIS 1 billion in budget allocations on Tuesday night, according to The Jerusalem Post. The funding is directed to the Education Ministry, the Settlement and National Missions Ministry, and the Religious Services Ministry, with a focus on ultra-Orthodox education.
The committee has approved several budget allocations in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported, the committee approved NIS 2.7 billion in transfers on July 30 and NIS 54.79 million for the Haredi development authority on July 12. The continued allocation of coalition funds, particularly for ultra-Orthodox and settlement priorities, has been a recurring feature of the current government's fiscal policy.
The specific breakdown of the NIS 1 billion among the three ministries was not immediately detailed. The approval comes as the Knesset continues its session, with further budget discussions expected.
