Israel’s Wartime Budget: Rethinking Economic Priorities

How has the war in Israel affected the country's economy?

The October 7 terrorist attack and resulting war have forced Israel’s economic priorities to undergo a dramatic shift; Securing resources for the war effort and civilians’ immediate needs, supporting essential industries, and maintaining basic infrastructure become paramount. These shifts in economic priorities to ensure national security during the war, and hopefully pave the way for a more stable future after the conflict ends, are reflected in Israel’s recently proposed wartime budget.
