      Labor Head Slams Netanyahu’s Speech


      MK Shelly Yechimovich, head of the Labor party, criticized Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday over a speech he gave at the cabinet meeting expressing pride in the outgoing government’s accomplishments.

      “The inequality and poverty is among the highest worldwide, growth remains exclusive to the elite, there’s a budget shortage of 40 billion shekels,” she accused.

      “The self-praise over international accomplishments raises the question of whether Netanyahu is aware of Israel’s unprecedented isolation on the international scene in light of the complete freeze in the diplomatic process,” she added.
