In light of the growing number of young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Israelis in distress, the Social Affairs Ministry has decided to double its budget for helping these at-risk individuals to 5 million shekels (about $1,312,000) this year, and will for the first time open facilities to serve those over the age of 18.
The two facilities will be emergency living quarters for young gay adults, and a hostel for transgender young adults at risk.
“The LGBT community in general and the transgender people among them in particular are at high risk and exposed to exploitation,” said Tali Yogev, who is responsible at the Social Affairs Ministry for youth protection services.
Yes because LGBT in nearby countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon have it good, right? If only Israel didn't mess with Palestine it would be the most gay-friendly country in the Middle East.

Thanks for agreeing that they are indeed doing what I said they are
That's nice, shame they throw more than double of that amount for pinkwashing the reputation of the country while not doing enough for the actual cause.
Last year there were nearly 200k people. It's one of the biggest events in the country
