The Labor and Social Affairs Committee determines that the maximum period of eligibility for unemployment insurance offered to residents living in communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip will be extended by up to 25 days.

Under the new ruling, discharged soldiers will be entitled to 95 days instead of 90 days of unemployment, people under the age of 25 will be entitled to 75 days instead of 50 days, people aged 25-28 will be entitled to 92 days instead of 67 today, and people aged 28 to 35 who have a maximum of two family members dependent on them for financial support will be entitled to 125 days of unemployment instead of 100.
