ישראל צועדת לעבר הלם כלכלי – כל אחד יצטרך לשלם

הערכה

Israel faces a looming economic shock as defense spending has doubled since 2022 and may soon reach 180 billion shekels, pushing its share of GDP from 4% toward 7%. Combined with a shortage of soldiers and continued budget commitments to the ultra-Orthodox sector, the government's fiscal flexibility will be severely constrained in the coming years. The question is whether policymakers can reconcile these competing pressures before the strain becomes unmanageable.
