    The Government, today (Monday, 15 January 2024), approved the 2024 state budget. 
     
    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [translated from Hebrew]: 
     
    "We have reached agreement and we will now pass a very important budget. This is the war budget that also looks after the needs of our reservists and their families, the self-employed, the Government ministries and the needs of the public. We are increasing the health budget and adding NIS 1 billion to it for mental health, a major and important need. It increases the education budget, the social welfare budget and the public security budget but, first of all, it takes care to increase the security budget, which is simply essential for victory and for our future. 
     
    I want to thank the Finance Minister and the Government ministers who joined in the effort here. We are also looking after many varied needs, and I know that this also demanded substantial sacrifice and I am very grateful to all of you for this response; you are sharing the burden. 
     
    Of course, I send best wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded and condolences to the family of the woman who was murdered. We are in the midst of a war against terrorism on all fronts, also on this front. We will not relent until we achieve victory."
