The coffers of the Jewish National Fund hold 4 billion shekels ($1.15 billion) in liquid assets, the “Hamakor” (“The Source”) investigative news program on Channel 10 revealed Wednesday. According to the report, in 2009-2013 the JNF, which controls 13 percent of the land in Israel, or 2.5 million dunams (some 620,000 acres), received almost 6 million shekels for administering its land, a sum that represents over 90 percent of its income.
