Summarized from Israel National News by baba
The Israeli government plans to divert over NIS 1 billion from a five-year development plan for Arab communities to accelerate payments for Apache attack helicopters. The bulk of the funds, NIS 964 million, will be cut from budgets designated for Arab society's development between 2027 and 2029. This reallocation is part of a larger effort to meet the Defense Ministry's demands for advanced combat helicopters. The government is also considering further across-the-board budget cuts to secure an additional NIS 2 billion for defense.
