In ‘News 13’ it was reported this evening (Tuesday) that the Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu And the leaders of Torah Judaism concluded that in the event that the opposition leader forms a government after the elections, the ultra-Orthodox education system will receive a budget increase from the current 1.2 billion NIS to a total of 3 billion NIS.
Behind the scenes of the core studies: this is how Netanyahu prevented the splitting of Torah Judaism
Rupture in the right lobe? “Netanyahu should not intervene in the conflict in Torah Judaism, it will harm him”
According to the report, it was agreed that the Belez Hasidic position requested to introduce core studies to its institutions in order to receive broad budgets as promised in exchange for the core studies. If the Netanyahu bloc reaches 61 seats, the parties will try to solve the crisis through a revolution and budgeting for ultra-orthodox education.
As of today, the exempt institutions of ultra-orthodox education, where no core is studied, are supposed to receive 55% of the budget of a secular student. If this option does not work out, or because it will be disqualified for a legal or other reason, the next government will look for a way to transfer funding to Hasids in Gaza.
According to the report, an official in Torah Judaism said before the meeting that they were “the last to believe Netanyahu.” Admittedly, after that there was a detailed conversation between Netanyahu and the leaders of Torah Judaism who concluded with him: “A promise of three billion NIS for ultra-Orthodox education without any conditions, we want to compare the conditions in ultra-Orthodox education to secular education.”
It was also reported that according to the agreement, Torah Judaism officials will even be allowed to decide how the education system will be budgeted to finance the amount in question for ultra-orthodox education. The Likud party told News 13 in response: “The report is not true.”
