One of his major concern is the high price of basics in Israel.
This is the key issue for nearly everybody except the Far Right. The cost of living there is insane. My son's apartment in Tel Aviv is $3,500/month. Thankfully, it's covered by his housing allowance. Grocery prices are also insane, about 3X what they are here (other than fresh produce at big outdoor markets). A falafel or shawarma from a street vendor is upwards of $10, as is a good beer at a bar.
