The Mossad is demanding a significant budget increase from the ministry of finance, and as a result, a significant increase is expected in the scope of the organization's operational activities.
Kan 11 reported that contacts between the intelligence organization and the ministry will begin in the coming weeks and are expected to include an agreement on a new multi-year plan for the organization, as well as a new improved wage agreement for Mossad personnel.
The institution is asking for additional billions of shekels, and according to the plan, discussions on the matter are expected to begin after the holidays.
MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home), a member of the subcommittee on the approval of the budget for the secret services, said following the report that "The Mossad's share in Israel's security has increased over the years. Threats against the State of Israel and Jewish institutions in Israel and around the world have increased and require intelligence and the ability to thwart in large-scale arenas.”
"As a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, I am aware of the great effectiveness of every shekel that enters the organization's budget," said MK Yogev.
