Jerusalem, 15 September, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Reconstruction Administration announced an NIS 138 million ($41.3 million) initiative to strengthen local authorities in Sderot, Eshkol, Ashkelon Shore, Sdot Negev, and Shaar Negev as part of a multi-year plan for 2025–2028.
The program, developed with the Interior and Finance Ministries, aims to support recovery, demographic growth, and economic development following the October 2023 attacks. Local authorities will receive funds based on population, impact of conflict, and socio-economic factors, with Sderot slated to receive the largest share.
