Spain leads the list of countries with nine restrictive measures against Israel, followed by Turkey with seven, the United Kingdom with six, and Belgium with five. While academic boycotts have been recorded in the United States, the JPPI emphasizes that the sheer number of measures does not necessarily reflect their severity or impact.
The financial sector is the most heavily targeted area, accounting for 40 of the 121 measures. The trade and security sectors follow with 24 restrictive actions each, alongside 14 diplomatic and 12 legal measures. JPPI CEO Dr. Shuki Friedman warned that the cumulative effect of these sanctions poses a strategic risk to Israel's economy and security, as banks, insurers, investors, and trade partners may reduce business ties due to fears of legal or regulatory complications.
Friedman cautioned that sanctions initially aimed at specific individuals, ministers, or products from Judea and Samaria will not stop at the Green Line. The JPPI has urged Israel to develop a national strategic mechanism to proactively assess and mitigate the impact of these growing international measures.
