Are members of the opposition starting to sew suits?

It seems that at least some of them have already booked an appointment for a tailor.

The Minister of Economy and former member of the Security Cabinet, MK Eli Cohen, wants to replace Avigdor Lieberman. "I want to go to the Ministry of Finance," Cohen said in an interview with Radio North, 104.5.

After serving as a senior economic minister, this is the next goal. "

MK Cohen also referred to his economic doctrine and said:" One of the important things for me is to return hope to young couples, including on real estate, as what happens is unlikely.

The Israel Lands Administration went bankrupt and there was no deliberate drop in prices.

vice versa.

We saw an increase of 16.3% and nothing, no one criticizes the ministers, a world as it is customary.

I want to bring back national pride.

"I ran one of the largest real estate companies in the country, and those prices are not a fate."

"The opposition played an important role"

Cohen commented on the dissolution of the Knesset: "I think yesterday was a very big sigh of relief for a large part of the Israeli public. I am a believer, and I think this opposition also played an important role. We saw the cost of living, which was very problematic, the jump in real estate prices. In a monopoly.

Where was the Minister of Construction and Housing in real estate, where did he go? "

As for the political draw that is forcing Israel into a fifth election in about three years, Cohen said: "I am convinced that we can cross the 61 seats and form a government," he added, "People were sure that whatever he was, Netanyahu would always be prime minister.

This did not happen the last time a year ago, we were the shortest and worst government in the history of Israel.

Bennett said the public is silent, but I was in the field and the public is not really silent, I saw the public shouting.

The public will not remain indifferent.

And I mean our public, the right-wing public. "
