The Israel Lands Council, chaired by Minister of Construction and Housing Yitzhak Goldknopf, approved a series of decisions last night (Wed), including housing benefits for reservists, which were promoted following the Iron Swords War.
As we first published in Vala Real Estate - the Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who will not lose a few credit points against the background of the protests, asked to participate for the first time and in an unusual way in a meeting of the Israel Land Council and announce himself the granting of housing benefits.
In fact, the main benefit that was approved is the proposal made by the Prime Minister , which gives a discount of up to 90% on land for self-construction to reservists. Netanyahu put pressure on the council to approve this proposal, and was also the one who announced its approval: "Today is a good day, because we have committed for some time to bring free or almost free land To the army servants, our reserve soldiers, with an emphasis of course on the combat service.
There is really a big line of 90% here, and in some places even 95%.
The land itself is almost free, we are aware that there are also development expenses.
We are now discussing how to also give aid, a subsidy, in the Ministry of Finance for the benefit of development expenses.
This is of course a great revolution, it also creates justice"

Additional benefits that have been approved
offer to give priority to reservists in price per resident and price target programs (which are under the government subsidy programs "apartment at a discount");
and lower the level of reserve days for purchasing land at a discount in national priority areas (periphery).
These are initiatives promoted by Defense Minister Yoav Galant in collaboration with the Minister of Housing.
The first initiative proposes to allocate 20% of the first apartments drawn in projects of a price per inhabitant and a target price to reserve servicemen (instead of 10% as has been customary until now) until the end of 2024. After these lotteries are carried out, the general public as well as the reserve servicemen will participate in the remaining 80% of the apartments.
Also, during the meeting, it was approved to expand the definition of reservists entitled to benefits, so that the reservists who served in the war for more than 45 days will also be entitled to guide reservists in purchasing land for self-construction.
This means that almost all reservists who served in the IDF when the Seventh Offensive broke out in October will be entitled to benefits in the purchase of land. This is a historical amendment that allows reservists who participated in the Iron Swords War to receive benefits in the purchase of land, even if they did not accrue the period that was customary until now.
In addition, it was decided Increase the discounts given to all reserve soldiers and determine that they will be entitled to an additional reduction of 10% of the payment rates established in national priority areas. The increased area discount will be in addition to the discount that existed until today, a discount of up to 100,000 new shekels depending on the location of the land and its value. According to the decision the discount that will be given to the soldier Reserves due to lack of housing in most localities in the National Priority A area will reach up to 90% of the land value.
