netanyahu says minister kahlon will help bring housing cost down

It would be stupid of me to try ask bibl how minister kahlon can help drive housing cost down concidering that israel spends more money on national defence than any other nation in the world in comparison to tax revinue and everywhere netanyahu wants to build housing must invvolve that same high cost national defence to protect the housing being built; maybe me as a jew would be more stupid to believe that netanyahu thinks the rest of israel is that stupid too/ math is simple ; the cost to build is most likely less than the defence budget to guard the building will drive up not down the cost to israel for the housing bibi builds
