Zionist Union clip mockingly raises funds to fix Prime Minister’s Residence

Young Zionist Union activists post a clip where they cynically raise money for the renovation of the Prime Minister’s Residence “because NIS 5.4 million [c. $1.4 million] is simply not enough.”

The tongue-in-cheek clip, Haaretz reports, starts with a caption saying “this week the citizens of Israel were exposed to hard-to-watch images of the difficult housing condition of a young couple hailing from Jerusalem and Caesarea.”

“We, the young generation of Zionist Union activists, could not remain aloof faced with the suffering and misery and the image of a carpet with a hole in it,” the caption continues.

In the clip the activists are seen asking people on the street for small change because “the house is falling apart” and “there is not enough water in the pool.”

The clip was posted following a clip released by the Netanyahu campaign headquarters on Sunday, where Sara Netanyahu is showing Moshik Glamin, a celebrity interior designer, the dilapidated, as she would have it, condition of the official prime ministerial residence on Jerusalem’s Balfour Street.
