Shaul Meridor, former head of the Budget Division at the Ministry of Finance and now a candidate for Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar" party, published a detailed clarification of the party's youth plan after it drew criticism on social networks. Meridor stressed that the main solution to the housing crisis is increasing supply, not price controls, and proposed measures such as shortening planning and construction timelines, incentives for long-term rentals, and price transparency. Dr. Eli David, a social media personality with nearly a million followers, harshly attacked the proposals, using the term "idiots" and claiming that Meridor's economic understanding is no better than that of other Knesset members. Meridor responded that there is no single solution to the housing crisis.
