Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal establishes a right to a monthly payment for soldiers starting from a certain month in the service period (different final months for male and female soldiers), equal to the minimum wage and with additions of NIS 500 or NIS 1,000 per month depending on the role. Soldiers entitled to existing monthly grants will receive the positive difference between the payment and the grants. In the first year, the entitlement will apply gradually to a shorter period. The payment will be updated every year according to the rise in the price index.
