Meretz criticizes government’s economic plan as insufficient

The coalition’s Meretz party is criticizing the government’s economic plan, announced yesterday, to help alleviate living costs for Israelis, in particular working families.

The party says the plan is insufficient, and “actually leaves out the weakest groups in society.”

Meretz suggests raising the minimum wage, boosting benefits for workers, subsidizing daycares for young children, lowering the VAT, and more.
