Israel's High Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday that an additional NIS 100 million allocated for Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) education will only be distributed to institutions that teach core curriculum subjects. The government had attempted to transfer these funds to Haredi educational networks. The ruling came in response to a petition filed by Member of Knesset Naama Lazimi of the Democrats and the Hiddush organization.
This NIS 100 million is part of a larger NIS 1.1 billion package approved by the Knesset Finance Committee for Haredi education in 2024. Notably, the Ministry of Finance had already transferred most of these funds before the committee's official approval, a move that reportedly contravened the law.
