Shalom Sheetrit: The economy of the State of Israel is in a major crisis even before the war began. He says that the increase in interest rates would create a very big problem for the state's revenues.

Sheetrit says the state needs to take at least three steps, and in no particular order of importance, to remove the bureaucracy and barriers to bringing in foreign workers in the construction industry. All citizens of Israel are consumers of loans and therefore they pay much more than they should.
