Israel Approves $700 Million Budget Cut for Defense Purchases

The Israeli government approved a 2.6 billion shekel budget cut across civilian ministries for defense purchases, in addition to a prior approval for Apache helicopters. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich proposed a 4.9% cut from each ministry's 2026 budget, a decision not attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The move faces scrutiny due to its timing during an election period, with warnings that defense spending could impact civilian services.

Police Await Prosecutor's Decision on Investigating Rabbi Lior for Incitement

Police have gathered evidence and are awaiting a decision from the State Prosecutor's Office regarding the potential investigation of Rabbi Dov Lior for incitement. The controversy surrounds his religious ruling permitting Jews to harvest olives from Palestinian orchards, which the IDF stated encourages violence and friction. A human rights organization filed a complaint against the rabbi, citing incitement and theft. Rabbi Lior's ruling contradicts a previous opinion from other rabbis and asserts Jewish ownership of the land.

Israeli Court Orders Return of $500,000 Misused by Charity Officials

Israeli Court Orders Return of $500,000 Misused by Charity Officials

A Haifa District Court judge has ordered two charities and their former officials to return 1.8 million shekels ($500,000) that were improperly managed and spent. The ruling follows an investigation into "Keran LeChaim" and "Keran LeChaim for Children and Youth," which revealed alleged misuse of funds, including transfers to personal accounts and payments for unproven services. The court found that funds from a donor's estate were moved between charities using forged documents to avoid oversight. The officials are accused of disregarding their duties and using donations for personal gain.
