‘What matters is the citizens, not the carpets’

Yesh Atid criticizes Prime Minister Netanyahu after the publication of a special state comptroller report on the management of the prime minister’s residence.

“The state comptroller’s report paints a picture that the citizens of Israel have long already understood. In Balfour Street in Jerusalem, there sits a totally disconnected man, a man who cares least of all about the real problems of real Israelis,” Yesh Atid said in a statement immediately following the publishing of the special comptroller’s report.

“What Israelis care about is buying an apartment, overcrowded classrooms and the living conditions of Holocaust survivors. What Israelis care about is the cost of living, for a middle class which cannot make ends meet,” the statement continues.

“What matters is the condition of citizens and not the condition of the carpets. Yesh Atid will continue to fight for what really matters to the citizens of Israel,” the statement concludes.
