Spending on the Gaza war has exceeded $76 billion, in addition to tens of billions to compensate reserve soldiers and for damages.
The Israeli government is also facing political difficulties in approving the 2026 budget, with the possibility of delaying it or resorting to a monthly budget for 2025, which is one-twelfth of the budget.
