Israel’s economy: A Banana Republic run by monopolies
Israel increasingly resembles an economy captured by monopolies, where a small circle of powerful interests dominates key sectors and ordinary consumers foot the bill.

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron , who previously served as the country's prime minister, visited Kibbutz Be'eri with his Israeli counterpart Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who thanked him for his support and firm stance on behalf of Israel since the beginning of the war with Hamas in Gaza.
"World leaders need to see the atrocities of Hamas with their own eyes, and understand that Israel is fighting a terrorist organization worse than ISIS," Cohen said, adding: "Even after the temporary truce for the release of women and children kidnapped to Gaza, Israel will continue fighting until the goals are achieved: the destruction of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip and the release of each and every one of the hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas on Wednesday of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement after a military officer was wounded by an explosive device in Rafah and Israel vowed retaliation.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that the military would never fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip for security reasons and that a civilian-military army unit would be established in the Palestinian enclave.
