Fuel prices in Israel are expected to rise sharply starting midnight Wednesday-Thursday, according to energy sector estimates. The increase is attributed to ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz region, a critical global energy trade route. Initial projections suggest the price per liter of gasoline could increase by 25 to 40 agorot, potentially pushing the cost of 95-octane gasoline at self-service stations above 8 shekels per liter once again.
The anticipated price hike reflects the current instability in the energy market and developments affecting navigation and oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. This rise is expected to place additional financial burdens on drivers, with estimates suggesting that filling a fuel tank could cost an additional 15 to 20 shekels per fill-up.
Beyond vehicle owners, the increase in gasoline prices is also anticipated to impact the consumer price index, affecting the broader cost of living.
