Knesset gives preliminary okay to tax benefits for settlers ‘under security threat’

The Knesset has approved in a preliminary reading a bill to grant tax benefits to settlers living in communities deemed to be under a security threat, similar to those offered to residents of Israeli border towns.

The bill was passed with 57 votes in favor and 28 against, and will now head to the Finance Committee for further review.

Eligible settlements will get a 25% boost in tax benefit points, according to the bill.
