ISRAELBRIEFS Study: Tel Aviv the World’s Most Expensive City
TEL AVIV IS NOW the world’s most expensive city
to live in — and it’s tied in part to Israel’s successful
COVID-19 vaccine rollout, JTA reported.

The city rose from fifth to first in the annual
Worldwide Cost of Living index compiled by the
Economist Intelligence Unit, the research arm of
The Economist Group, which also publishes The
Economist magazine.

The report said that Israel’s world-leading pace in
vaccinating its population helped the shekel to soar
in value against the U.S. dollar, leading to steep local
inflation. The price of about one out of every 10 everyday
goods found in Tel Aviv, especially grocery items,
“increased significantly,” the report said. Tel Aviv is
also the world’s second-most expensive place to buy
alcohol and public transportation. Higher prices for
household goods, cars and fuel were noted as well.

After Tel Aviv, the other cities in the top five were
Paris, Singapore, Zurich and Hong Kong.

“It should be a given — the rights to a woman’s
body are the woman’s alone,” Nitzan Horowitz told
Ynet. “Any decision or medical procedure such as
the choice of whether to perform an abortion must
be in the hands of the woman. We have no moral
right to decide for her how to deal with an unwanted
pregnancy.” Horowitz, who heads the left-wing Meretz Party,
wants to allow women to terminate a pregnancy
within its first 12 weeks without committee approval.

While abortions are legal in many cases in Israel,
women seeking an abortion must present their
reasons for ending the pregnancy before a committee
of three people in several circumstances.

The plans also call for transferring responsi-
bility for some abortions to health clinics instead of
hospitals. All changes are subject to Knesset approval.

“I am proud to bring an international football
championship to Jerusalem, Israel’s capital,” Steve
Leibowitz, president of American Football in Israel
and head of Israel’s organizing committee said before
the event. “Israel has tackled its COVID-related
challenges and is ready to provide a safe, exciting
championship venue.”
Average Salaries in Israel Climb 2.9%
The average gross salary in Israel in September was
$3,863, an increase of 2.9% from September 2020,
although slightly down from August 2021, according
to Central Bureau of Statistics data, Globes reported.

The “information technology communications”
sector had the highest wages with an average salary
of $8,335, followed by the “electricity and water
supply sewage services and waste treatment” sector
at $6,472.

High-tech salaries have jumped more than 8%
