Leading Israeli civil society groups unite in fight against poverty

About 50 civil society organizations are calling on political parties to undertake a series of socio-economic obligations as the 2015 elections approach after poverty reports revealed the staggering amount of widespread poverty in Israel in the last few weeks. The organizations created a draft under the headline „Social Reforms 2015“ with a list of demands including commitment to legislation to reduce the amount of citizens living under the poverty line.
