Shekels

Jerusalem, 12 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israel Tax Authority announced that total levies collected from taxation of excess profits from natural resources by the end of 2025 increased to 8.8 billion Shekels ($2.7 billion), of which 7.3 billion Shekels ($2.3 billion) were absolute levies. In total, approximately 1.3 billion Shekels ($410 million) were collected in 2025, compared to approximately 1 billion Shekels ($310 million) in 2024. Approximately 1.2 billion Shekels ($380 million) became absolute, compared to 1.4 billion Shekels ($315 million) in 2024.

Non-final levies are levies that were collected as advances or as a deduction at source during the tax year and their collection is not yet final. After the end of the tax year, depending on the amount of the levy that will be calculated in the annual report that will be submitted, the said levy, in whole or in part, will become final. Final levies are levies that were collected based on annual reports submitted by the owners of oil and natural resource rights, as well as levies that were collected following a final assessment.

Jerusalem, 12 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety and the Ministry of Finance have approved a significant budget addition of 10 million Shekels ($3.15 million) for 2025 for the Afula Eastern Bypass project. With the approval of the additional budget, the total government participation in the project, which is being carried out through the Israel Roads Company, stands at approximately 351 million Shekels ($110 million).

The approved budget, said the Ministry, is intended to complete the planning of the project, which includes the resurfacing of the intersection – an essential engineering and safety measure that will, among other things, allow for an orderly exit from the neighborhood toward the center of the country.

The Eastern Afula Bypass is a large-scale national infrastructure project, which is an essential step towards removing transportation “bottlenecks” that limit the development of the entire area. The project is designed to create a strategic transportation artery that will allow for the controlled diversion of heavy traffic and intercity traffic flows from the residential and business center of Afula to a modern axis with a high engineering standard.

Jerusalem, 7 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure will grant approximately 10 million Shekels ($3.15 million) to 21 groundbreaking studies in the fields of energy and earth and marine science.

These are researchers from 11 academic institutions across the country, including the Technion, Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University, Bar Ilan University, and more. The agreements with the academic institutions are currently being signed, and the studies are underway for a period of one to three years, with some of them potentially becoming technologies that will affect every home in Israel.

For example, innovative research by Bar Ilan University, supported by the ministry, seeks to break new ground in the field of plastic recycling using an electrochemical method for breaking down PET bottles to produce fuels and highly valuable chemical products.
