On a tour of the city with Mayor Barkat and Minister Moshe Kachlon, Netanyahu deflected criticism leveled at him by the left over his appointing
of Moshe Kachlon to the post of Director of the Israel Lands
Administration Sunday.
"The appointment two days before the election was
not an attempt to curry favor with any constituency, nor a publicity
stunt," Netanyahu said. "Kahlon is the right man for the job. We will
lower the cost of apartments, as we did the cost of cell phone service. When you vote for a big party like the Likud-Yisrael Beytenu,
you vote for a united Jerusalem and give us the power to lower home
prices."
In a last-minute appeal to voters, Netanyahu plead: "I ask all Israelis
to make up their minds – whether they are voting for a divided Israel,
or for a united and strong Israel. I have no doubt that many voters will
choose to return to the Likud-Yisrael Beitenu. There is no other party
that is capable of leading this country."
