Today, the transfer approved is mainly dedicated to the Ministry of Settlements and National Mission, headed by Orit from the Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, the Zionist Religious Party. The ministry received 268 million NIS from the coalition funds.

The goal is to provide approximately 3 billion NIS to achieve the deficit goal in the 2025 budget, which is 4.9 % of GDP.
Meanwhile, as “Globes”, the legal opinion by the Ministry of Finance is the outgoing term, Asi Messenger is responsible for Turbido a large part of the money allocated to the Torah institutions. Tampering requires that 400 million NIS be reduced from 1.7 billion NIS to the Torah institutions, on the basis that it is not lawful to support those who avoid recruitment to the IDF. He builds his opinion on a decision issued by the Supreme Court of Justice stating that “in the absence of a legal basis for postponing military service, the legal basis for the state's support for those who avoid recruitment also decreases.”
The state budget is scheduled to reach the final vote in Knesateet by the end of this month. If the budget is not approved by that time, the Knesset will be resolved, and the country will go to the polls.
