With the country heading for a third lockdown that is bound to exacerbate already deepening poverty, the Movement for Quality Government on Thursday petitioned the High Court of Justice to address “grave concerns” that Interior Ministry criteria for distributing NIS 700 million ($210 million) in food aid had been “sewn up” to benefit the ultra-Orthodox population.
An analysis presented to the court showed that the condition for receiving food vouchers qualifying for a municipal rate discount of at least 70% would benefit 45 percent of Haredi households, 25% of Arab ones, and just 3.8% of Jewish homes that are not ultra-Orthodox.
