Professor Yaron Zelikha, running for the Knesset on the joint list of the reservists' movement led by Yoaz Hendel and the Economic Party, held a press conference at which he presented the list's economic program. He commented on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attacks against him, saying that Netanyahu attacks because he knows that if Zelikha becomes finance minister, the public will understand that everything could have been 20% cheaper.
