Deri downplays property holdings: I discovered I’m real estate mogul
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri seeks to downplay reports that he owns a large home with two swimming pools in northern Israel.
“Yesterday I found out that my wife and I have become real estate moguls,” he says, according to Channel 2. “We have had an apartment for about 25 years, in which we raised nine children and for which we are still paying the mortgage. In addition, we have a vacation home in Safsufa for the extended family, including the grandchildren.”
