This program is about high costs of living in Israel. In just a few days time the regime in Israel is set to increase the water, and fuel, costs which would contribute further to the increase in living costs.

This has triggered protests across Israel similar to the yellow vest protests that began in France. Protesters in Israel have been taking to the streets on an daily basis for several weeks now demanding that the government stop increasing livings costs.

Israel is set to increase the utility costs such as electricity, water, and fuel. This in turn will have a ripple effect on just about all necessities in Israel from food to getting from one location to another.
