I am not the Haredi Housing Minister. I am a minister in the State of Israel who is committed to the entire public with no differentiation between race and religion. The Haredi community suffers the housing crisis the worst, but I will work for everyone. I do not live broad, I know both the upper and lower Israels. the lower Israel is the one that is living, mostly young couples, underground in parking lots and hovels and machsanim. Our task will be to get them out of there. The first thing I will do in my role is listen.
-- MK Yitzchak Goldknopf (UTJ), seemingly the incoming Housing Minister.
As nutty as Goldknopf can be, he has been saying a lot of good things since the election, and I hope his intentions are really as good as they sound.
