The chances of Israel's 2025 state budget being approved have increased following a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump's plan to turn the Gaza Strip into a US-controlled zone and his support for Israel's positions on regional issues could overcome opposition from Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit. However, challenges remain, including the demand of haredi parties to tie the budget to a draft bill for yeshiva students. If the budget is not approved by March 31, Israel will go to elections.
