- Israel has become one of the world's most expensive countries in the last 15 years.

- No significant political party is championing the issue of the cost of living.
- The public expresses anger, frustration, and worry over the economic situation.
Despite widespread public concern over the rising cost of living, which has made Israel one of the world's most expensive countries over the past 15 years, this issue is not being championed by any major political party. Public opinion polls consistently show that voters rank the cost of living as one of their top two concerns. However, this significant public sentiment does not translate into a prominent platform for any leading political movement, creating a political mystery.
This disconnect leaves many Israelis feeling anger, frustration, and worry, yet these strong emotions are being sidelined in the political arena. The article poses a question: how can an issue of such paramount importance to the electorate fail to become a central theme in political campaigns or party agendas?
