Israel Foreign Ministry to receive massive budget for public diplomacy abroad:
The government plans to offset wartime spending and an economic slowdown with tax hikes and deep cuts to public services. But the proposed budget for 2025 also includes a massive new allocation: toward pro-Israel advocacy efforts abroad. Under the new budget, the Foreign Ministry will receive $150 million, on top of what it gets for its existing activities, for what’s officially known as public diplomacy, or hasbara in Hebrew. That sum is more than 20 times what such efforts have typically been allotted in past years.

The dramatic expenditure is the result of a political deal that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struck last month to shore up his governing coalition. Lawmaker Gideon Sa’ar and his New Hope party agreed to rejoin the coalition in return for the funding and the appointment of Sa’ar as foreign minister.

The news comes as public opinion about Israel in the United States and elsewhere around the world has been intensely battered as a result of the war in Gaza that was started by Hamas’s massive cross-border October 7, 2023, attack on Israel in which thousands of terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 hostages. The resulting war — aimed at toppling Hamas, which rules Gaza, and securing the release of the hostages — has left the Strip in ruins with much of its population facing displacement, disease, and hunger.

Two sources familiar with the matter told
@AmichaiStein1
that U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump and his team are preparing to increase activity against Yemen's Houthis. The plan includes efforts to strengthen a regional coalition by engaging Gulf states.Under the Biden administration, attempts to form such a coalition faced resistance, with only Bahrain publicly agreeing to join. Other Gulf nations cited a lack of U.S. commitment to providing missile and UAV defense systems as a reason for their refusal.
