(A7) Economy Minister Nir Barkat participated this evening (Sunday) in the Arutz Sheva Jerusalem Conference in NYC began today, and addressed Iran’s threats against Israel, which are manifested in the operation of terrorist organizations in the region.
“Iran uses terrorist organizations that threaten us with thousands of rockets. This reminds me of what the US president did in the Cuban missile crisis – when he said missiles from Cuba would be answered with missiles at Moscow,” said Barkat.
He stated that “If there is a missile attack on us by Hezbollah from the north, Hamas in Gaza, Syria and Iraq, and by Israeli Arabs, the Iranians will not be able to sleep well at night. We understand their strategy and will not allow the Iranians to sleep at night in a situation where our citizens will be threatened.”
Barkat was asked how to solve the cost of living crisis and answered: “Our Prime Minister understands that we now need to focus on reducing the cost of living. As the Minister of the Economy, we are trying to reduce food costs. We will make moves that will allow parallel imports and slowly in the near future you will see a drop in prices that will be felt in the pocket of the Israeli citizen “.
