Prime Minister Netanyahu said at the beginning of the cabinet meeting Sunday that "We are now bringing before the government the expansion of the "Heating Grant for Senior Citizens" program. This means that a quarter of a million senior citizens who receive income support will receive this grant, and not only those living in colder areas. The Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services is allocating for this purpose a total of 109 million NIS. This is a welcomed initiative by Minister Haim Katz, with the understanding and agreement of the finance minister and mine, and I am certain that the Government will bless it and pass it on. "
