Fuel Prices Set to Hit Record High in Israel
Gasoline prices in Israel are poised to reach an all-time high, with a liter of 95-octane expected to jump by 52 agorot to 8.27 shekels starting Tuesday night. This new price surpasses the previous record of 8.25 shekels per liter, despite a government subsidy implemented last month. The increase follows a global rise in oil prices, initially projected to push the price over 8 shekels by more than 40 agorot, but now indicating a sharper rise.
The global surge in oil prices is attributed to several factors, including tensions with Iran, disruptions by the Houthis in the Bab al-Mandab strait, and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier this month, the government approved a last-minute discount of 50 agorot per liter, costing the economy an estimated 300 million shekels. However, the current price hike is expected to completely negate this subsidy and push prices to an unprecedented level.
