Amidst stock market declines and political uncertainty, Itai Ben-Zeev, CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, has called for the formation of a broad unity government to ensure economic stability. Ben-Zeev warned against further election cycles, stating that the stock market dislikes uncertainty and that investors seek stability, which is currently lacking in Israel's political system.
He emphasized that a broad government would provide the necessary certainty to address important national issues and attract both domestic and international investment. Ben-Zeev argued that economic security is as crucial as national security and urged politicians to prioritize the country's long-term interests over partisan considerations. He suggested that political leaders should convene to determine the best path forward for Israel in the coming years.

He clarified that his focus is on the Israeli economy, not politics, and that the Stock Exchange's role is to support the heart of the capital market and the Israeli economy. He stressed the need for a strategic plan for the nation, similar to those developed by public companies listed on the exchange.
