  "account": "Housing prices emerged as the top concern for young Israelis ahead of the elections, according to a new Israel 2050 survey. Economic and social issues, particularly housing, ranked above security concerns, which were ranked much lower. The survey revealed that 75% of respondents would consider voting for a new party if it could provide solutions to these issues. Housing prices were the most pressing issue for 38% of respondents, more than double the share for any other issue. Young people gave the state a low rating of just 2.5 out of 10 for housing. While 16% of respondents expressed concern over the education system and 4% about security, only 8% focused on the situation facing young people in Israel and 13% on transportation. Only 21% of respondents believed that the government's current decisions were laying a strong foundation for their well-being and future needs.",
  "summary": "A new Israel 2050 survey published Wednesday night found that economic and social issues, led by housing affordability, top young voters' priorities ahead of the elections.",
