Moody's downgraded Israel's credit rating, but not because of Gaza war, says Yossi Ben-Ami. Ben- Ami: The downgrade is an expression of distrust in Netanyahu's economic and political policies.
He says the stories that Israel's economy is strong were a Grandmaster story. Ben: Netanyahu and his Finance Minister who have declared several times that the Israeli economy was strong have happened knowingly. The war is being waged according to his survival needs and it is not clear what the end will be, he says.
