Kahlon slams real estate investors

Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon criticizes investors who purchase more than one apartment in Israel, saying they are being inconsiderate to young couples who cannot afford to buy property amid rising housing prices.

“Who are you to buy up all the apartments in the State of Israel?” Kahlon says, according to Israel Radio. “There are other people who live here.”
