Eisenkot's platform: an economic plan or a shopping list without a bill?

The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, presents a detailed economic platform including tax cuts, market opening, and a 20 billion shekel investment in reserves. The article examines the promises against the lack of a full budget calculation and closed funding sources.

Ahead of the elections for the 26th Knesset, the Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, presents a detailed economic platform including a plan for the first 100 days, policy documents, and promises in many areas: taxes, daycare, housing, transportation, agriculture, reserves, and high-tech. The party promises to lower income tax for workers and those who serve, open imports to European and American standards, reduce cash use and fight black capital, alongside reinstating the tax on sweetened drinks and disposable items. The most priced commitment is an investment of 20 billion shekels over three years in the reserve system. The party list includes professionals with proven track records, including Shaul Meridor, Tair Ifergan, and Orit Farkash-Hacohen. The article raises questions about funding sources and whether these are responsible promises or a shopping list without a full budget account.
