Smotrich specifically warned of a potential left-wing government if Vinter's party fails to pass the threshold. The party's campaign manager, Yosef Haddad, acknowledged facing a difficult, well-funded campaign from within the right-wing camp.

IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised Israel's 2026 growth forecast to 4.5%, an increase from its previous 3.5% projection. This figure is higher than the IMF's global growth forecast but lower than Israel's own central bank's predictions. The IMF also anticipates a decrease in Israel's 2026 inflation to 1.8%, while global inflation is expected to rise. The report highlights that a smaller number of economies are driving global growth, with Israel being among them due to its AI connections and reduced energy shock exposure.

Israel's Chief Rabbinate Expands Slaughter System for Winter Season

Israel's Chief Rabbinate is expanding its kosher meat slaughter system for the upcoming winter season, approving dozens of new experts. The initiative, led by Rabbi Kalman Meir Bar, aims to increase the supply of high-quality kosher meat internationally while reducing costs for importers. This expansion is considered a historic step to strengthen the system and lower prices for consumers who rely on the Rabbinate for 90% of the country's kosher meat imports.

CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revealed the full $600 million value of its acquisition of Israeli company XM Cyber's technology, primarily paid in stock. The deal, initially announced in July with only $145 million in cash, has seen its stock component surge due to CrowdStrike's rising share price. XM Cyber, founded by former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo and others, was previously sold to Germany's Schwarz Group for $700 million in 2021. CrowdStrike is acquiring XM Cyber's code and patents, not its revenue or clients.
