Senior Hamas official Fathi Hamad was last night diagnosed as positive for the corona virus, and as a pledge in the Gaza Strip was placed in isolation.

He previously served as Interior Minister in the Hamas government and since 2016 has been on the list of terrorist operatives of the US State Department.

S&P has confirmed the high credit rating

The international credit rating company S&P yesterday confirmed Israel's high credit rating at the AA level.

Thus, the high forecast remained stable despite the corona crisis that hit the Israeli economy.

Finance Minister Israel Katz said, among other things: "This is a great expression of confidence in the economy and a commendation of the country. Israel is in a good position in relation to many countries in the world struggling with the corona crisis, given the correct policy we lead in providing comprehensive assistance to various sectors Growth for the future. "

The rating agency's representatives stressed in the announcement the core strengths of Israel's credit rating, such as: a rich and solid economy, strong external accounts and benefits that accrue to the country from flexible monetary policy and a relatively deep pool of local savings.

The two main limitations of the rating remain the relatively high debt burden as well as geopolitical risks.
