Liberman agrees to delay cancellation of daycare subsidies for yeshiva students
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmid efforts to stabilize the coalition, Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman has agreed with Yamina MK Nir Orbach to delay to 2024 a planned cancellation of daycare subsidies for kids of full-time yeshiva students.
Liberman’s desired changes would have seen subsidies granted only if both the child’s parents work at least 24 hours a week. The move would have effectively ended subsidies for some 21,000 children.
Orbach had demanded that Liberman’s move be reversed as a condition for remaining in the coalition following the departure of Yamina’s Idit Silman, which has deprived the government of its parliamentary majority.
