Finance Ministry report reveals major salary gaps across Israel's security organizations
Under Israeli law, if the average pension of retiring officers remains above the target, the finance minister will be required to establish new regulations governing pension payments.
A Finance Ministry report has unveiled significant salary disparities across Israel's security organizations, with employees in certain Defense Ministry auxiliary units earning up to twice the average salary of younger career soldiers. The report, published in the Salary and Labor Agreements Division report on defense system employees for 2023-2024, also found that the average state pension for an IDF officer is valued at around NIS 9 million.
The highest average salary was recorded among Defense Ministry auxiliary units, including the Atomic Energy Commission, where employees earned an average of NIS 34,315 gross per month in 2024. In contrast, the IDF's average salary was the lowest among the organizations examined, standing at NIS 18,756, while the average age of civilian IDF employees declined from 50 to 44.
