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.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog commented on the X post by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who wrote that "Hamas ❤️ Biden" and said at a ceremony to mark Victory Day over Nazi Germany that "even when there are disagreements and moments of disappointment between friends and allies, there is a way to clarify the disputes and it is beholden upon all of us to avoid baseless, irresponsible and insulting statements and tweets that harm the national security and the interests of the State of Israel.”
Itamar Ben-Gvir is unmanageable. Fortunately, he has no influence or decision-making power in the ongoing operations in Gaza.
This politician is clearly detrimental to Israel's image.
His career will end at the conclusion of the conflict against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel increasingly resembles an economy captured by monopolies, where a small circle of powerful interests dominates key sectors and ordinary consumers foot the bill.
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.
