Gantz reacts to poverty report: ‘Israel has to change course’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White chairman MK Benny Gantz is among the first politicians to react to today’s government poverty report that shows some 1.8 million Israelis living below the poverty line.
“The State of Israel has to change its course in education, priorities and [economic] growth. Macro data hides what is happening at the micro level — particularly in the social and geographical peripheries. Israel needs a government that will work for its citizens,” he says in a statement.
