Prime Minister Netanyahu cheers the compromise reached between government ministries to fund a plan for improving care for wounded IDF veterans.

“After many efforts, we reached an agreement between the Prime Minister’s Office and defense and finance ministries, together with the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization, on a budget [for] reforming the Rehabilitation Department. Wounded IDF veterans are important and dear us and an immediate and fundamental reform is needed to ensure the help that they deserve,” Netanyahu says in a statement from his office.

He also vows to convene the government “as soon as possible” to approve the reform, but doesn’t specify when.
