Kiryat Malachi to stop buying Osem food products over price hikes

The city of Kiryat Malachi has said it will stop buying products from food giant Osem “until it reneges on its intention to raise the prices of its products.”

Mayor Eliyahu Zohar makes the announcement amid widespread public outrage over price hikes across industries, including food, fuel and electricity.

Zohar admits that the municipality was not a major buyer of Osem products, “but this is a moral and symbolic act.”
