'Peace is coming no time soon'

On Tel Aviv beach, Ochry Air is chilling out with her husband and daughter.

"I've always voted for parties with social policies, but unfortunately they are always small," she tells MEE.

"This time I'm voting Gesher, because I know a peace agreement is coming no time soon and I want someone who will care about our welfare."

Air and her husband say they're struggling in today's economic climate.

"Prices of kindergartens are sky high and the dream of owning our own flat seems impossible. Trivial things in this country look like a faraway dream.

Though Air's husband is reluctant to be interviewed, he does reveal who he will vote for: Moshe Feiglin's Zehut, a Jewish supremicist party that advocates a holy war in the West Bank and legal cannabis.
