Economist Yaron Zelekha warns: Israel has no economic policy

Ben Caspit talks this week with Yaron Zelekha, an economist who was formerly the finance ministry's accountant general and is the founder of the New Economy party. Zelekha warns that Israel has no economic policy, and that Israel has no state budget and has not launched any reforms in the past decade. More worrying, he says, is the fact that the citizens of Israel no longer trust their government. “Twenty three percent of the population lives under poverty line. Twenty percent of businesses collapsed this past year. No single country in the West experienced such a business catastrophe,” he says.  Neo-liberal Netanyahu turning socialist Netanyahu — not Mr. Security, not Mr. Economy Israelis look for 'anyone but Bibi'
