Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק התוכנית לסיוע כלכלי (הוראת שעה) (סיוע לעסקים ולמוסדות ציבור)

TL;DRA temporary bill for economic assistance to small businesses and public institutions harmed by the special situation on the home front in March and April 2026.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Property Tax and Compensation Fund Law to set an assistance framework for small and medium-sized businesses, public institutions and kibbutzim harmed by the fighting. The assistance includes covering part of fixed expenses and wages, as well as compensation for indirect damage caused as a result of direct damage to the property used as the place of business. The bill also prevents the transfer, pledge or attachment of rights to compensation for war damage, except for payment of maintenance (alimony or child support). The provision is set to remain in force until December 2028.
