Cabinet okays NIS 850m for Jerusalem development
At a special cabinet meeting Thursday to mark Jerusalem Day, Israel’s government announces an NIS 850 million ($220 million) five-year development plan for Jerusalem.
The cabinet meeting is held this morning at southern Jerusalem’s Ein Lavan park, with ministers casting their votes in an open-air meeting.
The budget goes to fund the city’s “Jerusalem 2020” development plan, which calls for investments in housing, the city’s technology sector and its higher education institutions.
