Moshe Kahlon objected to the proposal of the Minister of Defense to give all servicemen a cash gift immediately upon demobilization.

According to ITV channel 2, the Ministry of Finance explained the objections to the necessity of reviewing the budget, if such a proposal is accepted. At present, a cash gift placed with demobilization can be obtained immediately only for certain purposes (studying, opening one's own business, buying housing, etc.). Simply "for expenses", a cash gift can be used only 5 years after demobilization.

The "Cursor" reported on November 1 that, on the instructions of Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Defense Ministry published a draft law on lifting restrictions on the use of an army deposit ("Picadon") for demobilized soldiers. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said: "We are determined to carry out these important changes as soon as possible.

The cancellation of the deposit and its transformation into an increased severance pay allow the demobilized soldier to begin his civil life with a significant amount of money immediately after the end of his service.

There is no reason for the state to make life difficult for demobilized servicemen, forcing them to use deposit money only for certain purposes in the first five years after demobilization and did not allow them to use this money at their discretion. "
