State Comptroller Yosef Shapira chides the government for failing to implement various projects meant to develop the capital, in a new report released on Jerusalem Day.

“In order to bring about a significant change in the status of Jerusalem, it is not enough to make solemn declarations, but actions must be taken,” Shapira writes.

The state comptroller highlights several programs introduced over the past decade that have stalled due to lack of coordination between various government offices.

Shapira also points out the lack of desire government ministries have had to move their offices to Jerusalem, despite statements from officials stressing the importance of such a move.
