- The stock market's rise occurred despite the ongoing war and judicial overhaul.

- The current government is one of the few to complete a full term since Israel's founding.
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has seen a remarkable surge of over 100% during the current government's term. This significant growth occurred despite the ongoing war, which began after the October 7th massacre, and the government's controversial judicial overhaul initiated early in its tenure. Factors contributing to this success include the rise of defense stocks, government capital injections, and the continued strong performance of the high-tech sector.
Despite the impressive stock market performance, investors have largely overlooked a major threat to the economy: the immense defense expenditures required by the protracted conflict. The current, 37th government of Israel is noted as one of the few to complete a full term since the state's founding, a feat considered astonishing given the severe challenges it has faced.
