Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu is focusing his electoral campaign on the failure of the government to lower the cost of living and better working conditions in schools and hospitals.
Netanyahu is well-positioned to attack the government as leader of the opposition.
As finance minister from 2003 to 2005, he helped stabilize the Israeli market during a historic economic crisis. As such, it was almost inevitable that he would focus his campaign on these issues.
Every few days, he takes to the street to “meet the people,” and he produces videos featuring him speaking with people buckling under the high cost of living or promising to stop the rise in housing costs.
