The Socioeconomic Threat facing Israel

Ensuring Israel’s future

Four-point Shoresh Institution framework

Objective: Returning Israel to a sustainable long run trajectory

Ensuring faster economic growth, lower poverty, and Israel’s ability to defend itself

1. Overhauling the education system

Basic tenets of such an overhaul need to include:

  • A significant upgrade of common core curriculum, funding only fully compliant schools;
  • Fundamental change the way that teachers are chosen, taught and compensated;
  • Systemic reform of the education ministry and its methods of operation.
2. Overhauling governmental budgetary priorities

including:

  • Discontinuation of benefits that incentivize non-work lifestyles;
  • Full budgetary transparency so that the public will know what are Israel’s actual national priorities – and among them, who the government supports and how much they receive.

Objective: Safeguarding the above changes

Ensuring faster economic growth, lower poverty, and Israel’s ability to defend itself

3. Electoral reform
  • Cabinet ministers with expertise in their ministry’s realm within an executive branch able to implement its decisions and enforce the law;
  • Creation of effective checks and balances between the three branches of government.
4. Drafting and ratifying a constitution

Setting in stone national foundations that will protect the country and the rights of its citizens, and make it difficult for anyone in the future to set it back.
