Israel's budget prioritizes yeshiva funding over reservists who bear the war burden

Summary

A critical opinion piece arguing that Israel's latest budget disproportionately allocates billions of shekels to ultra-Orthodox institutions and yeshivas whose members do not serve in the IDF or reserves, while young reservists bear the repeated burden of military service. The author highlights a NIS 800 million allocation passed via a parliamentary maneuver, contrasting it with the sacrifices of engineering students and other professionals who serve multiple rotations, and warns that this policy is taxing the country's future workforce to subsidize non-service.
