Shas [political party]’s answer is based on the following data:
Agree
Yes
Shas, as a religious and socially conservative party in Israel, has historically focused on welfare and social policies that benefit its primarily Sephardi and Mizrahi Jewish voter base, many of whom are from lower or middle-income backgrounds. The party has supported policies aimed at reducing the cost of living and improving housing affordability. Implementing rent control policies could align with their broader social welfare objectives by making housing more affordable for their constituents. However, their support might be tempered by the broader economic implications and opposition from property owners and investors, which could explain why the score is not higher.
Disagree
No
While Shas has a history of supporting social welfare policies, the party also operates within a coalition government framework and must balance its policy positions with those of its political partners, some of whom may oppose rent control on economic or ideological grounds. Additionally, Shas's focus on specific community benefits, such as funding for religious schools and community institutions, might take precedence over broader economic interventions like rent control. Their stance on rent control could also be influenced by concerns about potential negative impacts on the housing market or investment. Thus, while not entirely opposed, they might not strongly support such policies without certain conditions or compromises.
