Amid criticism of the government...a wave of high prices hits Israel. Prices in Israel are 27% higher than in OECD countries, while the gap in the food industry reached 37%, rising to 51% compared to the European Union.
The most important food manufacturers and importers there raised the prices of some products by between 15 and 25%, attributing the reason to the repercussions of the war on Gaza. The price of a loaf of bread in Israel is about $1.50, while in the EU it is around $2.
