Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has proposed allocating an additional NIS 3 billion to cover war necessities, citing the ongoing security challenges faced by Israel. This proposal comes as Israel braces for potential attacks from Iran and Hezbollah, with recent incidents involving missile strikes and military operations in the region. Smotrich emphasized the need for increased military preparedness and logistical support to ensure Israel’s defense capabilities remain robust. The proposed funds will be used to bolster the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and enhance the country’s overall security infrastructure. This move is seen as a strategic response to the heightened tensions and potential threats in the region, aiming to safeguard Israel’s national security and protect its citizens.
