Public transportation in Israel has deteriorated significantly since the current government was sworn in, with prices also soaring. The Minister of Education is reportedly considering the cancellation of exams that assess student performance, while the healthcare system is operating at its absolute limit. This situation is the subject of the fifth installment in a series titled "This is What the Elections Are About."
Nearly a decade ago, in April 2017, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also held the office at that time, made remarks suggesting a disconnect from Israeli reality. Addressing ministry employees, he stated, "Where they see traffic jams, I see interchanges, trains, bridges," in reference to the media. He further added, "Where they see a collapsing, crumbling country, I see Israel rising as a global power."
