Ahead of the budget votes beginning late Tuesday and continuing on Wednesday, the drum-beating protesters, bearing Israeli flags, marched to parliament, accusing the ruling coalition of"looting" the state's money. On Monday, Netanyahu announced the state would grant married ultra-Orthodox Jewish men engaged in religious study rather than work a total of $67.5 million.
It is in addition to other allocations traditionally made to ultra-Orthodox communities in various ministerial budget allocations.
