MK Ilan Gilon (Meretz) welcomed the approval of the bill which raises the allowances of persons with disabilities.
"We have now raised the disability pension by 50 percent within a budget of 4.3 billion shekels. This is a very significant achievement, especially in light of the current political reality. I refer to this step as the beginning of a long journey until the realization of my original law - equalization of the pension to the minimum wage. I will do everything to reach this result," he tweeted.
