A senior executive in Israel's defense industry stated that election results in countries outside of Israel have a direct impact on his company's business. He noted that South American nations, which have historically purchased from Israel, experienced political shifts leading to a halt in business, but with changing governments, these countries are now resuming purchases.
This executive's comments suggest that as long as the Likud party governs Israel, the defense budget is expected to continue its growth, benefiting defense companies. Even in a scenario where Gadi Eisenkot and the 'change bloc' gain control of the Knesset, curbing the rise in the defense budget is not anticipated to be their immediate priority.
