Taking an Economic Knife to Arab Israelis [1]

['Yair Ettinger']

Date: 2003-04-27

For the past three years, M'eigal al-Hawashala, his two wives and their 15 children have been dependent on the state for their income - since M'eigal lost his job at the transportation company for which he worked as a driver. At present he is receiving NIS 2,800 a month in the form of guaranteed income; NIS 5,511 a month that he and his wife receive for their nine children who are under 18 years of age; and his second wife gets NIS 1,891 each month as child allowances for another five children. Most of the children are also entitled to a study grant, which, according to their father, comes to about NIS 4,000 a year; in addition, he says, his second wife receives an extra NIS 500 a month for being a single parent.
