The Israeli government approved an urgent request to allocate an additional NIS 15 million for conversion programs, just three weeks before national elections. The funds are designated for training and preparing individuals for conversion to Judaism, with a portion of the money slated for expenditure as late as 2027.
The government convened on Tuesday afternoon, following a month-long hiatus. The meeting's agenda was modified at the last minute to include this funding request. The session was also marked by the observance of the day of remembrance for the October 7th massacre.
