Over 60 economists, academics, and former senior public servants have signed a warning letter from the Economists Forum, cautioning that international actions against Israeli settlements could signal a significant threat to Israel's economy. They argue that Jewish violence and terrorism against Palestinians will impose a heavy economic cost on all Israeli citizens. The immediate context cited is the construction in the E1 area and Jewish terrorism in Judea and Samaria, which they perceive as government-backed, alongside the broader government policy adopted after October 7th. The letter further states that the damage to the Israeli economy could escalate if such measures expand from isolated countries to a substantial portion of Europe, and if the impact shifts from the settlements to the entire Israeli economy.
