Ya’alon: While bloated government forms, Holocaust survivors go hungry

Benny Gantz’s former ally Moshe Ya’alon says this Holocaust Remembrance Day “was particularly difficult.”

He tweets: “To watch yesterday the news reports on a bloated, expensive government, that contains no ’emergency’ or ‘unity,’ but rather immunity and corruption, and then to watch a report on a lonely 94-year-old Holocaust survivor calling police because he’s run out of medicine and he’s hungry.

“Have we become Sodom? Are we like Gomorrah? Shameful.”
