The Ministry of Construction and Housing and the Israel Land Authority announce today (Monday) that registration for the next discount apartment lottery will open on April 16, immediately after Passover and will include approximately 9,000 apartments throughout the country, among others in the cities: Rishon Lezion, Nof HaGalil, Elad, Harish, Eilat and Bat Yam.
However, if you are debating whether to enter the upcoming lottery, you should pay attention to the following changes in the 'discount apartment' program - which will make it worth much less: unlike the discount
price program of the previous minister, Ze'ev Elkin, the benefit will now be calculated according to the value of the apartments at the time the tender was published for contractors - and not as it was before according to their value, which always remains permanently based on December 2020;
Since then, the price has jumped by tens of percent which will now be passed on to the young couples.

Regarding these changes, the former Minister of Construction and Housing, MK Ze'ev Elkin, published the following on his Twitter page: "A serious mistake by Goldknopf, the young couples will now pay hundreds of thousands of shekels more for the apartment, the heads of the authorities will approve fewer construction tenders because they took What is the aid, the public lost, the treasury officials won, Goldknopf sold us to the treasury officials, all that remains is to find out what he got from them and for whom?" In other words -
if until today the young people felt that they had won the lottery, today it is already a fine award. You will also pay for The winnings are tens of thousands of shekels more - and the duration of receiving the apartment is also getting longer, as the marketed land is less and less ready for construction, due to planning problems.
