Oil prices have sharply increased following renewed military tensions between the United States and Iran. As of Thursday, Brent crude oil is trading around 100 dollars per barrel, marking a two-month high, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is priced near 90 dollars per barrel. Israeli consumers are expected to feel the impact of these rising oil prices as fuel costs at gas stations are projected to increase by approximately 30 agorot or more starting next Saturday at midnight. Another factor contributing to the fuel price hike is the strengthening of the US dollar against the Israeli shekel, which currently trades at about 3.07 shekels per dollar.
