Ministers okay reserve soldiers' status change
None
The cabinet voted Sunday to change the definition of "reserve soldiers" to include everyone who serves at least 20 days over the course of three years. Current policy stipulates that a reserve soldier must serve at least 10 days annually.
In a special session on Israel's Reserve Forces, the cabinet also decided to extend reserve soldiers' post-service benefits over three years instead of just one year. (Attila Somfalvi)
