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.

Tonight, the Tel Aviv Museum is hosting a special exhibition featuring a selection of works acquired by French television host Arthur from Israeli artists.
This initiative comes in the wake of the events of October 7th and is intended to support the cultural community in Israel, which has faced ostracism from museums and galleries abroad.
Arthur's decision to purchase these artworks is both a personal and political statement, aiming to provide solidarity and support to Israeli artists affected by the current cultural boycott in various parts of the world. By bringing these works to light in such a prestigious venue, the exhibition serves as an effort to amplify Israeli voices in the global art scene and counteract the exclusion felt by many in the country's cultural sector.
The exhibition is expected to draw significant attention, not only for its artistic content but also for its underlying message of resilience and support for the arts during challenging times.

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.
