Overview
- Yesh Atid submitted a Supreme Court petition seeking a conditional order and urgent interim injunctions against the Finance Committee’s allocations to Haredi educational networks.
- The petition argues the committee abused its authority by approving funds for institutions that do not teach the core curriculum and lack statutory oversight.
- Party materials cite NIS 1.09 billion in transfers, including large sums for Chinuch Atzmai, Maayan HaChinuch HaTorani, and recognized-but-unofficial schools.
- Attorneys Oded Gazit and Eliram Bakal filed the case, and petitioners warn the money could be disbursed by December 31 without a stay.
- United Torah Judaism’s Yitzchak Goldknopf rejected the claims, saying the allocations passed legal reviews and address longstanding underfunding.
