TL;DR

A real estate project in Afula, Mitzpe Afula, is offering a ₪180,000 special financing subsidy to ultra-Orthodox men who were blocked from the government 'Discounted Apartment' lottery on grounds of draft evasion, according to a project ad.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A private real estate development in Afula, Mitzpe Afula, is marketing a ₪180,000 subsidy specifically to Haredi men blocked from the government's 'Discounted Apartment' (Machir Le'Mishkane) housing lottery. The lottery eligibility was recently narrowed amid a broader policy push that links benefits to military service; a petition against the exclusion was filed to the High Court on June 11. The project, located in a Haredi neighborhood in Afula, is already under construction with occupancy expected in 2028.
