Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill changes two main definitions: it changes the maximum population threshold for a beneficiary locality from 85,000 to 100,000 residents, to allow natural growth of localities. In addition, it proposes granting a tax credit at a rate of 7% of personal income (up to a ceiling of NIS 146,640) to residents of localities adjacent to the Tkuma Region that were harmed in the events of October 2023, and this benefit would apply under conditions set in a law for the extensive rehabilitation of the Tkuma Region.
