3 years after filing a report Trachtenberg Committee, said Prof. today' Manuel Trachtenberg At the Center for Citizen Empowerment: "The price gaps for basic products between Israel and the world are unimaginable. If I had to make the same decisions without the pressure that the committee was under - within 49 days, I might have made different decisions.".
Trachtenberg referred to the implementation of the committee's conclusions and claimed that "the biggest failure of implementing the committee's conclusions is in the housing sector." He said that massive action is needed in the supply sector.
Trachtenberg also said that "Israeli society has a common denominator of values - the pursuit of social justice. We may not agree on opening stores on Shabbat, but as a society we agree on the limits of inequality. There has been progress in the cost of living, but the gaps compared to the world are inconceivable when comparing product prices from one supermarket to another. The fact that Berlin is beckoning to young Israelis is a real danger.".
