The Ministry of the Interior announces 3,900 grants and logistics credits for 2027
Interior Minister Khalid al-Nuri today announced the strengthening of national security, National Guard and civil protection wires during 2027 with the provision of 3,900 new aids, along with the allocation of 13 million dinars to purchase transportation for the benefit of security units. The announcement was made during a joint public session to discuss the Ministry of Interior's mission under the draft State Budget for 2027, bringing together the deputies of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People and the members of the National Council of Authorities and Regions.
Al-Nuri explained that the programmed transportation distribution will be subject to the field requirements standards of the units, with the Police Academy of Security Sciences continuing to be built in force to develop leadership and field competencies. The ministry intends to continue updating equipment and adopting digital systems to combat cybercrime, money laundering, dismantling illegal sports betting networks and online gambling.
In terms of social inclusion, the Minister mentioned that 12.6 million dinars would be allocated to acquire dividers and build houses ready for sale at reasonable prices through the Ministry's Active Tire Housing Board. The ministry is also considering the conversion of the Balmarsa Internal Security Forces Hospital into a university hospital, developing its departments and equipping it with medical equipment.
Al-Nuri added that the ministry's plan includes implementing the National Multi-Sectoral Strategy for Traffic Safety and establishing a system to automatically monitor Golan violations through smart cameras and radars. The programmes include supporting civil protection with headquarters, equipment, and the purchase of firefighters and rescue helicopters, after more than 23,000 interventions were recorded during last July in the face of fires.
The Minister of the Interior addressed the anti-drug file, recognizing that the spread of this plague threatens community stability and feeds crime and violence, stressing that treatment cannot be confined to seizures, confiscations and detentions but requires an integrated community approach in parallel with further development of security work and enhanced regional and international cooperation to confront new methods of smuggling networks.
