Government approves widespread budget cuts in order to establish new ministries
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe cabinet has approved a widespread government-wide budget cut in a controversial decision that will allow for the establishment of six new ministries.
The approved government decision will see a 1.5% cut to the budgets of all government offices, specifically at the upper personnel level. The move will slash 300 posts from the various offices to free up some NIS 100 million.
The new offices being created are Ze’ev Elkin’s Water Resources and Higher Education ministries, Orly Levy-Abekasis’s Ministry of Community Empowerment, David Amsalem’s Cyber Ministry, Tzipi Hotovely and Tzachi Hanegbi’s Settlements Ministry, and Benny Gantz’s Alternate Prime Minister’s Office.
