"I see strong winds coming from all over the world, which attack our strong economy, and we have no solutions - the State of Israel has no answers.
And they go to elections after elections after elections and we the working citizens, citizens of the State of Israel, what about us?
Does anyone care for us?
Does anyone care that the prices are going up?".
"I said that I will not allow a rich country to exist with budget surpluses and collections, and citizens kneeling under the burden. I am happy to see that the Prime Minister repeats these words, I hope it is not just for election purposes, because in the end actions must be taken. And no one takes action. For the past two weeks, I have My feet to look for solutions and I run into walls," he accused.

The economic situation of the industrialists and of all the business owners is not bad and we see this in the surplus The collection of the state," he said.
"I warned that with this stubbornness I will not hesitate to act," he continued.
"I am initiating a difficult move today, which I debated about for a long time and I am saying here now: We are citizens of Israel and the jobs are not anyone's captives. A company that will repay the citizens of the State of Israel will have to deal with the consequences of its moves by boycotting consumers that the Histadrut will apply to them starting today.
"Any company like that we will go after her," he threatened.
"I urge the citizens of the State of Israel to stop buying the products of your companies. Buy the replacement products, buy wisely, it will stop the oppression of life. The Shastovitz company has ruled here for years with crazy prices. The products that are included in the boycott: Palmolive, Landover Coffee, Colgate, Calvin Klein, Cleo, buy other things. Diplomat Another company that drinks our blood: Staractis, Oreo, Pringles"
