Israel is currently ranked 98th most expensive place in the world for expatriates to live, by Xpatulator.com, out of 300 international locations.

The panel is due to discuss the growing sense of disparity in Israel. Despite promising figures of growth and low unemployment rates, many Israeli feel the prosperity is not shared by all.
