As a proposal to solve the housing crisis, less than a week before the elections,
Netanyahu announced that there are 300,000 housing units that should be built for 1.2 million residents, but this was stalled due to negotiations between the authorities and the budget department.
When he forms a government, he pledged, he will form a housing cabinet that he himself will chair .
, and the first decision that will be made will be to instruct the budget department to budget the infrastructure for the authorities, in order to free those hundreds of thousands of units. He described it as a "tremendous and simple solution".
So, the chapter of promises is over - and in a short time, as it seems, what What remains for Netanyahu to do is to carry out the move he committed to from the first day of his term.
Netanyahu promised to release the flounderer
Netanyahu himself admits that the main problem is the heads of the authorities, who encounter infrastructure problems, and are therefore in no hurry to approve the apartments.
The war, as Netanyahu presented from his experience, is the refusal of the budget department in the Treasury to finance infrastructure in the billions for the new neighborhoods, from synagogues to roads to public institutions.
This is an investment of a few billions, Netanyahu promises, a small amount that will release a huge amount of apartments onto the market.
For Netanyahu, who served several terms as prime minister and even served as finance minister - this war is really not new.
However, this time, Netanyahu promised to release the flounderer.
"From the first day of my position," Netanyahu pledged, "I will pledge myself to the chairman of the housing cabinet." Now the election promises are over. The time has come for implementation.
Netanyahu - we are waiting.

Netanyahu's plan actually integrates with the plan of the Boni Ha'aretz contractors association through the fund for the encouragement and development of the construction industry
, which they prepared in the last six months for the cooperation of the government, the municipalities and the contractors.
The plan proposes to pour out the supply of the planned apartments - and in return the contractors will undertake to freeze prices and even lower them.

He said on the subject: "Benyamin Netanyahu's first task is to include in the coalition agreements a decision to proceed with the package deal in the construction and infrastructure industry that we presented to the heads of the parties. In this framework, the state will undertake to sell all the construction land it has, freeze the price of the land and budget aid to the local authorities for each apartment that receives a permit Construction. The local authorities will undertake to comply with a short schedule of issuing construction permits, and the contractors will undertake to freeze apartment prices. This plan should last for at least three years, and at the end of it we will close the gap in apartments that exists in the market and has been leading the jump in housing and rental prices for over a decade."
