With just ten days until the elections, Israeli government ministries are rolling out a series of economic initiatives aimed at benefiting citizens. Ministries including Finance, Housing, and Justice are distributing what are described as "small gifts." This surge in activity is reportedly encouraged by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is pushing ministers to initiate positive economic measures for the public. These aid programs are specifically timed to coincide with the election period and are set to expire afterward.
The Accountant General in the Ministry of Finance, Michal Boyang'o Abadi, has issued a call for public institutions whose revenues were impacted by the war to apply for support totaling NIS 40 million. This measure is intended to "provide a tailored response to strengthen the third sector," with applications due by October 18.
Additionally, the Israel Tax Authority, also under the Ministry of Finance, has launched a compensation program for business owners affected by protection rackets. This initiative, valid until December 5, will cap compensation at NIS 2 million per incident, with an estimated total expenditure of NIS 35 million upon completion.
