The Knesset plenum approves a bill expanding the 2024 state budget by NIS 3.35 billion ($906 million) for the second and third readings needed for it to finally pass into law.
The bill is intended to help fund evacuated civilians and reserve soldiers until the end of the year.
The bill passes in the plenum with 58 ministers voting in favor of the expansion and 52 against it, despite voiced criticism by opposition leaders that it fails to curb coalition spending to offset the increased expenditure needs amid the ongoing war.
