Assessment
The IDF Disabled Veterans Organization's warning of a 'national disaster' highlights the stakes of their exclusion from defense budget talks. The Finance Ministry's rejection of a NIS 40 billion increase requested by the Defense Ministry suggests competing priorities. The outcome of these 2026 spending discussions will determine whether the needs of disabled veterans are addressed.
