Israel's Cost of Living Rises Despite Government Promises

Prices in Israel have risen approximately 11% since late 2022, contradicting the government's promise to lower the cost of living. Key initiatives, including daycare subsidies and transportation reforms, have faced criticism for limited effectiveness and unequal distribution. Despite government claims that the war is the primary cause of rising prices, economic data shows minimal growth in GDP per capita during the period. The government has also increased indirect taxes, impacting average families, while offering tax breaks primarily to higher earners.
