Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion Pledges Housing Price Cuts, Seeks Re-election
Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion announced his intention to run for a second term in office, stating his desire to "finish the revolution" he has begun in the city. In a holiday interview with Srugim, Lion also committed to lowering housing prices, a significant issue for many residents.
During the interview, Lion participated in a duet of the piyyut (liturgical poem) "Achot Ketana," which opens Rosh Hashanah prayers, alongside Yossi Ben Atar. He used the occasion to wish the people of Israel a year of unity, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and appreciation of differing opinions.
When asked about a potential future presidential bid, Lion indicated it was not currently relevant but did not rule it out entirely. He also confessed that becoming finance minister was once a personal dream, though he now feels fulfilled as the mayor of Jerusalem.
The interview covered a range of topics, with Lion reiterating his commitment to improving the city and his plans for the future.
