A record 40,000 Jews, largely from the Soviet Union, expected to settle in December, straining Israel’s housing supply. Simcha Dinitz of the Jewish Agency urged government takeover of construction while others proposed tent cities, trailers atop buildings, or bomb shelters. Ministers discuss mobile homes and public buildings as temporary housing to cope with the surge.
