Israelis protest high house prices

Israel:Israeli youths have set up hundreds of protest tents in Tel Aviv and other major cities to demonstrate against the government’s failure to control surging housing prices.

In an echo of the tactics of anti-government protesters in the region, Israeli students and young workers erected dozens of protest tents in Tel Aviv’s Rothschild Avenue, one of the city’s most prosperous streets, over the weekend and declared the tent city “Tahrir Square,” taking a cue from Egypt.

But shortly after, hundreds of supporters joined the core of tent-dwellers in Tel Aviv and protest tents spread to other Israeli cities, including the northern city of Kiryat Shmona and Kfar Sava, with local residents coming out in support of the mostly young protesters. Press TV
