Next target: a demonstration outside the prime minister's residence

Before the Chag the court revealed the astronomical costs of the Prime Minister's Residence, which doubled in the past two years.

While millions of Israelis are struggling to close the month and plan to cut back on food expenses and education, Netanyahu spends hundreds of thousands of shekels a month on makeup, clothing and gardening. In light of the unprecedented insensitivity and harsh decrees budget Lapid and Netanyahu plan to throw on the middle class and the poor will take place on Motzei Shabbos a demonstration in front of the Prime Minister's residence in Jerusalem

"Economic plan approved this week by the tycoons government of Netanyahu and Lapid will seriously harm the middle class and the poor, and does not relate at all to a small and powerful group of tycoons who made their fortunes on our expense this past decade - while we all find it difficult to close the month," say the organizers of the march of thousands which took place in Tel Aviv last Shabbos, in preparation for the march in Jerusalem this week.

"This coming Motzei Shabbos we will stand in front of the Prime Minister's residence whose expenses doubled the past two years, we'll call him out of the comfortable bed he acquired for half a million shekels and look at us, civil employees in the eye. Today published a report of the OECD which determines that the State of Israel has the highest percentage of poor amongst the countries in the organization. In the budget there is no reference to the problem of equal burden which is crumbling the society. There is only further harm in social services and intensifying the burden on those who have been barely been able to pay.

"Where is the reference to royalties on natural resources which tycoons took for themselves? Where is the resolving of hidden profits? Where is the treatment of zero tax paid by multinational giants? Where is the estate tax which is the case in all Western countries for decades? Truth is that with the lifestyle of Netanyahu which is extravagant and wasteful it is pretty clear how it happened: The Prime Minister just completely cut off from the way ordinary people live in Israel.

Shira Briff, working in the high – tech industry, has two daughters, lives in Tel - Aviv and voted Yesh Atid in the last election, said:" I chose Lapid because he promised a new politics. He promised the middle class will cease to be Israel's ATM. Now I see I'm going to pay another percentage on each product I buy for my daughters, I am going to pay more for school and earn less money because income tax exceeds in an unjust and unequal way. I feel cheated and know that Lapid has lost my vote in the next election. "

The demonstration will be held on Motzei Shabbos in Jerusalem at 20:30. Protesters will go out from the social protest march of 2011 in Jerusalem, Gan Hasus towards the Prime Minister's residence at Paris square where the main rally will be held.
