Israeli Government Expands Housing Support for Military Reservists
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Housing Minister Haim Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the From Reserves to Key program on Sunday.
It expands housing benefits for reservists who carried a heavy burden during years of conflict.
Roughly twenty thousand housing solutions will be added in 2026 and 2027, including sixteen thousand target price apartments and four thousand plots for detached homes.
Reservist priority in lotteries rises to seventy five percent of units with extra preference for combat soldiers. Buyers can receive discounts exceeding half a million shekels. Plots in national priority area A come with full exemption from land value payments excluding development costs.
The plan responds to high demand in the latest lottery and builds on twenty five billion shekels already given to reservists and their families.
Netanyahu called it a major step to help those who defend the country secure their own homes.
