Speaking at a government meeting, Netanyahu highlighted Israel’s technological advantages and battlefield achievements as key factors elevating the nation’s reputation.
“We face a clear propaganda campaign against us, but our accomplishments build strong legitimacy in international markets and with countries seeking partnerships,” he said. Netanyahu noted that leading defense companies and other global businesses have recognized Israel’s economic resilience.
Economic Indicators Show Strength
Netanyahu pointed out that the Israeli shekel has reached its highest value ever, the stock market is at an all-time high, and inflation and interest rates are declining. “All these indicators, in an economy that has endured two years of war, signal to the world that something big is happening here,” he said. He credited the creativity and entrepreneurship of Israeli citizens for driving innovation and economic progress.
Reducing Costs for Citizens
The prime minister also emphasized efforts to lower living costs. He mentioned that mortgages, international flights, and housing prices are all falling for the first time in 17 years. “These measures benefit not only the overall economy but also the citizens’ wallets. We still have more to do, and we are committed to continuing these efforts,” Netanyahu said.
