Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, launched a sharp critique against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to transition Israel to a crypto economy. Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of entering a "world of delusions" and offering a "solution" to international economic challenges that he himself allegedly created. Eisenkot argued that such a move would isolate Israel from the global economy and stated that Netanyahu is no longer fit to lead the country.
Eisenkot questioned the practical implications of such a policy, asking how Israeli high-tech companies with international clients would receive payments or foreign investments. He specifically wondered how a company like Google could acquire an Israeli firm if the payment had to bypass international banking and be made in cryptocurrency. The potential consequences, according to Eisenkot, include fewer jobs, reduced funding for health and education, and the collapse of national security.
