Chairman of the Organization for Families of Terror Victims told Arutz Sheva, "We had to beg President Peres to intervene, and finally the government approved an annual budget of 250,000 NIS. With some 10,000 families we serve, that means 25-30 NIS per family annually. "these dear people need financial support, and the State should acknowledge their sacrifice for the Nation, just as it does for IDF families. Memorial Day is the appropriate time to bring these issues before the public."
