Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Naftali Bennett’s Together faction submitted its first bill in the 26th Knesset, proposing sweeping financial benefits for active reservists and discharged soldiers, funded by redirecting government allocations currently going to households that do not participate in military service or employment.
Under the proposed bill, active reservists would receive NIS 4,000 ($1,250) monthly toward daycare expenses, 50% discounts on electricity, water, municipal taxes, public transportation and government fees, and potential discounts on their first home purchase.
The bill would also expand tuition assistance for discharged combat soldiers to five years, or six years for engineering, medicine and architecture, including graduate studies. Noncombat veterans would receive 50% tuition coverage for the first time.
Bennett said the legislation reflects his party’s commitment to putting those who serve at the top of Israel’s national priorities.
