Netanyahu: 2011 brings third financial crisis

According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in 2011 Israel is witnessing the makings of yet another financial crisis, one that ties into the world financial meltdown of 2008. "It is not a simple crisis," he said a press conference. "This uncertainty causes the prices to rise."

In preparation for the press conference, in which he was expected to discuss the government's strategies to stop the rise of commodity prices, Netanyahu met with various industry leaders. (Tani Goldstein)
