Netanyahu vows to lower housing costs
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to massive protests throughout Israel Monday by vowing to lower housing prices. "We will lower prices for social solidarity," he told a graduation ceremony at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
"Our economic situation is in many ways better than in Europe. People make a living but at the end of the month nothing is left. Why don't they have anything left? Because things cost more here," he explained. (Ronen Medzini)
