What happened

The Israeli Ministry of Housing has frozen most public housing renovations due to a budget approval delay caused by a political dispute with ultra-Orthodox parties. Over 100 apartments remain vacant awaiting repairs, and urgent maintenance is postponed except for safety issues. The freeze worsens long waiting times for public housing and affects units damaged in recent conflicts.
