Analyst Guy Bechor Credits Finance Minister Smotrich for Israel's Historic 15.4% Economic Growth

Dr. Guy Bechor, a legal expert and senior commentator, highlighted Israel's exceptional economic performance in a recent Telegram post to his tens of thousands of followers. He revealed that Israel's GDP surged to an annualized rate of 15.4% in the second quarter of the year, a historic high, while Western economies remain near zero growth. Bechor attributed this remarkable achievement to Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, calling him one of the best finance ministers in Israel's history.

Bechor described Smotrich as extraordinarily talented and hardworking, noting his significant accomplishments in both the economy and the West Bank over the past four years. Despite this praise, Bechor clarified that he has never met Smotrich nor has any personal or political connection with him. He emphasized that his support is based solely on Smotrich's economic leadership.

Looking ahead, Bechor urged Smotrich to remain in the finance ministry for another four years to help Israel reach a trillion-dollar GDP, which Bechor currently estimates at 800 billion dollars. He warned against allowing less capable individuals to take over, stressing the importance of continued strong economic stewardship under Smotrich's guidance.
