Israeli Elections: Quiz

Question number one, which of the following is your top priority in the coming elections? A, military or national service for all.

B, cost of living.

C, personal security, which means also the security of the country, feeling safe in the country.

And D, an investigation into the 7th of October.

And what that means is there's still no official government investigation into the events leading up to the 7th of October, how it could have been prevented, what intelligence we ignored.

Netanyahu has avoided putting that into action for reasons many of us can understand.

I'm going to read the question again.
