New Israel Govt to Focus on Socio-Economic Issues

Israel's new government will prioritize domestic socio-economic issues, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Wednesday, a day after he won a narrow election victory.

"The Israeli public wants me... to put together a government which will include three big changes internally: a greater sharing of the burden (of military service), affordable housing and changes in the system of government," he said in a brief broadcast address.

"We will focus... on putting together a government along these three principles."
