In late September, Israel's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, acknowledged the strain on the country's economy due to the prolonged conflict. Despite facing the longest and most expensive war in its history, Smotrich emphasized the resilience of Israel's economy.
Following Israeli airstrikes that killed Hezbollah's leader in Beirut, tensions escalated, raising concerns about a potential full-blown conflict. Smotrich highlighted that Israel's economy remains strong and continues to attract investments.
