Coalition Urged to Focus on Cost of Living instead of Legal Reform, Claims Chairman of Noam Party
In a surprising turn of events, the Chairman of the Noam party, MK Avi Maoz, has called on the coalition government to shift its focus from promoting legal reform to addressing the issue of the high cost of living. Maoz made these remarks during an interview on Channel 7 last night.
“We now need to take a break from the reform and deal exclusively with the cost of living,” stated Maoz. “This hurts the weaker sections of society. We have three more years to deal with the reform, but in the meantime, it cannot be that a young couple with two children in a dormitory pays about NIS 8,000 every month. This should be our main occupation.”
Maoz emphasized the urgency of tackling the cost of living and suggested that it should become the coalition’s top priority. By redirecting their efforts towards this issue, the government could make a positive impact on the lives of ordinary citizens, especially those who struggle financially.
Interestingly, Maoz also revealed his proximity to the ongoing demonstrations taking place in the United States. He urged the people of the left to let go of the protests against Prime Minister Netanyahu during his visit and emphasized the need to avoid public conflicts when the prime minister is on a political mission.
“Do not wash the dirty laundry outside,” urged Maoz. “What the members of the Knesset understood, what the politicians understood is that you don’t attack a prime minister when he is on a political mission. I call on the people of the left, let go of the demonstrations against Prime Minister Netanyahu in the USA.”
Maoz’s unexpected stance on prioritizing the cost of living over legal reform has sparked widespread debate and raised questions about the coalition government’s agenda. While some may support this shift in focus as a means of addressing the immediate needs of the public, others argue that legal reform should remain a key area of concern.
The future actions of the coalition government, especially in relation to the cost of living and legal reform, will undoubtedly be closely monitored by both the public and political analysts alike. Only time will tell if Maoz’s call for change will influence the government’s priorities.
