  • The remarks shifted public discourse days before elections.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again dominated the public discourse days before elections, shifting attention from the October 7th disaster and the continued employment of his advisor Yonatan Uriach.

In a concerning response to potential economic sanctions against Israel, Netanyahu stated in an interview with Roi Katz that the "phenomenal" American aid would cease and that Israelis should "forget about it." He appeared to accept the possibility of severe banking sanctions that could isolate Israel, suggesting the only course of action is to prepare for them through an "alternative economy."
