2026 state budget approved after coalition maneuver sparks uproar
Israel’s 2026 state budget was approved in the Knesset in its second and third readings, following a controversial coalition maneuver during the vote.
Opposition members reportedly supported coalition-backed reservations without realizing it, enabling the transfer of hundreds of millions of shekels to ultra-Orthodox education institutions, despite legal objections.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized the move, accusing the government of exploiting the situation while citizens remain under fire.
