Jerusalem, 29 November 2000
Finance Ministry budgets NIS 20 million to local and regional authorities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza
(Communicated by the Finance Ministry Spokesman)
Finance Minister Avraham Shohat today (Wednesday), 29.11.2000, directed
Finance Ministry personnel to transfer NIS 20 million to local and
regional authorities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza that have been severely
affected by the security situation. The sum will be transferred in the
coming days.
This budgetary framework is deigned to cover special social and economic
expenses which the authorities were forced to bear as a result of the
recent security events. These costs include payments for special
community services, including psychological support, social workers and
social and economic assistance to residents who have been adversely
affected by events.
A special inter-ministerial team will today determine the exact criteria
according to which disbursements will be made to the aforementioned
local and regional authorities.
Finance Minister Shohat said the special budgetary transfer was decided
upon because in addition to protecting the communities and the concern
for the personal security of their residents, attention must be given to
those special needs which have arisen in several communities in the wake
of the tension and distress which their residents have suffered as a
result of the security situation.
