Outlines of government formation during the Knesset's 24th term.
The Knesset website published the outlines of the new Israeli government formation and stressed that the political crisis and the lack of governmental stability two years ago, in addition to the Corona crisis, which challenged the Israeli economy, are all factors that pushed blocs to agree to form a "unity government."
It is noteworthy that the published text did not mention Palestine, the Palestinians, Iran, Hezbollah, and the United States.
According to the website, the Israeli government will focus on the civil and economic fields and will start work after approving the budget for the coming years. It pointed out that after the inauguration, ministers will be asked to start addressing urgent issues, fighting budgets, prioritizing their actions, and implementing their new policies in the ministries.
The Knesset website added, "The government must, within a short time after its inauguration, adopt a government decision regarding the transfer of all government offices, bodies, and units to Jerusalem."
It pointed out that "the government should work to fortify Israeli security and preserve the safety of settlers, based on the constant pursuit of peacemaking, in addition to strengthening the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' position as the coordinating body in the field of Israel's foreign relations."
Among the most prominent government items published by the Knesset website is the agreement that the Israeli Minister of Housing presents a plan to market 300,000 settlement units. The items also stipulated strengthening the personal security of students in "Israel" and the role of the police forces, in addition to the government's commitment to encouraging immigration to occupied Palestine.
The items included a pledge by the coalition blocs to support the drafting of the "conscription law" under the plan of the Ministry of Security so that the age of exemption from military service would reach 21.
