MK Inbar Yehezkeli from the Yashar party has submitted a bill to set a maximum price for diapers and baby food, similar to the supervision on basic products like bread and milk. According to the proposal, the ministers will be required to set the maximum price by order, and a committee from the Ministry of Health will define which food products will be included in the supervision. The explanatory notes state that the baby products market targets young couples at the beginning of their journey, and the goal is to equalize the status of these products to other supervised products and put an end to volatility and gaps between chains. MK Yehezkeli said, "The price you pay for diapers and baby food is not a decree of fate" and called for broad support. The headline promises "a saving of hundreds of shekels a month," but the article does not provide data or an estimate of the amount of savings.
