Israel posted a budget deficit of 15 billion shekels ($4 billion) in March, the Finance Ministry said on Monday, citing higher spending as a result of Israel's war with Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
Over the prior 12 months, the deficit rose to 6.2% of gross domestic product, versus 5.6% in February and a target of 6.6% for all of 2024.
Tax revenue has also fallen 1.2% the first three months of the year.

The United Arab Emirates has pursued an assertive foreign policy and carved its own sphere of influence across the Middle East and Africa, a strategy in the spotlight after a rare military escalation with Saudi Arabia in Yemen this week.
Saudi Arabian Mining Co. (Maaden) and Australia-based Midana Exploration Pty Ltd, part of Hancock Prospecting, have formed a joint venture to accelerate mineral exploration across Saudi Arabia, with initial work set to target the Nabita–Ad-Duwayhi Gold Belt after winning exploration licenses from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources.
The Israeli government has announced it will suspend the licenses of more than thirty humanitarian organizations operating in the Gaza Strip, including Doctors Without Borders, citing alleged non-compliance with newly introduced regulations governing aid groups in the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave.
