Netivot petitions High Court over withheld rehabilitation funds

Netivot municipality has petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice, alleging the government has not transferred funds from a 1.8 billion shekel rehabilitation program for 25 settlements affected by the October 7 attacks. The municipality claims it receives only a quarter or less of its allocated budget, with some approved budgets not transferred at all. This is a recurring legal challenge, indicating a potential systemic issue in fund distribution.
