Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a 14-minute video two days after issuing dire economic warnings, in which he highlighted the government's "meager" achievements and presented an "abysmal" economic plan. Netanyahu asserted that contrary to predictions of economic collapse and mass emigration, the opposite is occurring.

"They predicted blackness for us. They told us the economy here is collapsing and that no one will come and everyone is leaving, and the complete opposite is happening!" Netanyahu boasted in an economic election video released Tuesday. This comes just two days after Netanyahu himself lamented that Israel was on the verge of international sanctions and the cessation of American aid, urging citizens to prepare for a transition to a blockchain-based bypass economy.
