As demonstrations continue across Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledges further action to curb high housing prices and the soaring cost of living:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the current social unrest over affordable housing and the rising cost of living, saying that “the issues arising from the street are justified. We must tend do them without causing damage to the business sector.”
Speaking at the Likud faction meeting, the prime minister added that the current government is “accomplishing things that haven’t been done in decades. We have succeeded in lowering unemployment to it’s lowest level in 30 years,” which was at a record low of 5.7 percent in May.
Netanyahu continued to outline the way in which the government is addressing complaints about the soaring cost of living in Israel, explaining “We are tackling these issues in two ways: The first thing being addressed are cartels, as well as government and private monopolies. The other issue lies in the taxation system. It’s good that [this social movement is] happening now, these important issues deserve our attention.”
