The Israeli prime minister urged global investors to back the Jewish state, "because we are about to take off."
(Sept. 17, 2025 / JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday praised the resilience of the country’s economy after nearly two years of war.
The premier brought reporters and cameras to his office in Jerusalem a day after saying that Israel has no choice but to become a “super-Sparta,” warning that the Jewish state increasingly needs to become self-reliant amid ongoing attempts to sanction the government’s ability to import weapons.
“The Israeli economy is very strong. I have terrific confidence in it,” Netanyahu said from the podium on Tuesday. “It is strong. It is innovative. It weathered two economic crises—the Corona crisis, came out first in the world; and the two-year war, where we have an enormous amount of investments. People are coming and they will continue to come not only in the economy and the technology of today, but the technology of the future—cyber, AI and so many other things.”
