Opposition figure Naftali Bennett said Friday that under a government he would lead, supermarkets would pay customers rather than the reverse, as part of a broader pledge to lower the cost of living. The statement echoes his earlier cost-of-living proposals.
Opposition leader Naftali Bennett posted a statement on Friday afternoon: 'In my government, instead of you paying at the supermarket — the supermarket will pay you.' The comment, posted on social media, is the latest in a series of Bennett's proposed cost-of-living reforms. In late June, he pledged an 8,000-shekel annual savings per family and vowed to take on major food chains and importers he called monopolies. No detailed policy or timetable was attached to Friday's statement.
