JERUSALEM: The Israeli cabinet approved a US$91-billion draft budget in a marathon session that concluded at 2 am on Monday public radio reported.
Thirteen ministers voted in favour of the draft budget presented by Finance Minister Roni Bar-On and 12 voted against.
Of the total US$16 billion destined for defence, US$2.4 billion will come from US aid.
Parliament is scheduled to hold a final vote on the draft later this year, although the timetable could be extended by three months if the budget has not been passed by December 31.
Should parliament still reject the budget by the end of March, the government would collapse and snap elections would have to be held within three months.
