Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that US aid to Israel, amounting to tens of billions of dollars, is set to conclude in approximately two years, potentially under a different US administration. He suggested that Israel should independently produce more weapons and ammunition and utilize cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to circumvent potential international sanctions, possibly related to Jewish terrorism in the territories. Netanyahu mentioned he has already requested a plan be prepared for this initiative.
The article criticizes Netanyahu's past claims about his economic achievements, such as responsibility for Tel Aviv's skyscrapers and opening the economy, framing his recent remarks as a moment of candidness or a strategy to instill fear in citizens. The author suggests Netanyahu has historically lacked long-term planning, making decisions on a reactive, short-term basis.
