Press conference, Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron interest rate increase/Bank of Israel
"The Moody's rating agency's announcement about the downgrade does not include serious economic arguments," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said yesterday, and with this statement provided the great tragic-comic sigh of the week (which is a considerable achievement in the Netanyahu government full of clowns).
So Moody's, according to the man in charge of our money, doesn't understand economics.
What does he understand?
Reminder: A year ago, on the eve of his inauguration as Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich gave an interview in which he explained his economic doctrine: "They tried capitalism, they tried socialism, but they didn't try one thing, a concept called 'and there was a rumor.' Torah, the Almighty will send us financial abundance and security."
To this statement we must add the other unforgettable title that the Minister of Finance provided us, in which he again explained the principles of his economic concept using the phrase "In my constitutions you shall go". That is, leave growth engines, leave a balanced budget, Leave fiscal stability, you just have to follow the laws of the Torah and everything will work out for the best.

Israel's credit rating went down: how will it affect our pocket?
Governor of the Bank of Israel: "The government needs to address the economic issues raised in the Moody's report"
Mr. Economics?
Mr. Security?
We are left with "Let the country burn"
Electricity has become more expensive - but this way you can still save hundreds of shekels a year
Better not to elaborate.

And Smotrich added, for dessert: "Raise your heads, friends," he called with pathos on the eve of the elections, "take a breath and mobilize with all your might so that we can fix the judicial system, promote sovereignty, preserve the Jewish identity of the country, promote the economy and society, and much more ".
Oh well.
From this entire list, it is possible that they have benefited the Jewish identity in some way, relative to the mountains of money they pour on it (usually it works the other way around).
They failed to fix the justice system, but we paid a huge price for the failure.
They destroyed the sovereignty.
They dismantled the economy and society.
I assume that security is included in "and more and more" and it is better not to talk about it, because during their watch Israel was humiliated as it had never been humiliated before.
What is really worrying about the behavior of the gang that took over this country is the tantrum the Smotrichs got into since it became clear that for the first time in history a credit rating company is lowering Israel's credit rating and adding a pessimistic outlook.
"God will send us financial abundance and security."

The Minister of Finance himself attacked the messenger.
Like a student who was expelled from school and returned with a jerrycan of gasoline to set it on fire, Smotrich said.
He turned Moody's into anti-Semitism and brought Hamas into the fray as well.
He also lied incessantly, as usual.
No, most of the report is not about security and war. No, the report is not "pro-Hamas".
on the contrary.
And it also has good words for the Israeli economy, but none of them belong to the watch of these disturbed people.
The Israeli economy reached the crisis in excellent condition thanks to the previous government, which closed the deficit almost completely, and thanks to the excellence of the Israeli economy led by high-tech.
None of this has anything to do with Smotrich.
In the bottom line, this time, the aforementioned succeeded in doing what he failed at the time in disengagement: carry out an attack on the Ayalon.
Netanyahu should not mince words. The web is full of his appearances full of pathos, the self-patting on the back and the endless narcissism every time the rating agencies raised our credit rating. Also The previous year, when Israel managed to escape credit rating downgrades despite the stark warnings issued by all the world's experts during the coup d'état, Netanyahu continued to boast that "we were not downgraded".
The Israeli economy has reached an excellent state - because of the previous government.

Now that it has been taken down, he is hiding behind the war.
Well, this is not the war.
There have already been wars and Israel did not suffer a downgrade even during the second intifada that lasted for years.
This is the way the government runs the country while at war.
Unlike the lousy spins that the government poison machine tries to spread, Moody's reasons are purely economic.
And contrary to what Netanyahu said, there is no prospect of raising the rating after the war.
On the contrary, it is expected to be taken down.
What this group has done to the State of Israel, until recently one of the most successful, prosperous and impressive brands in the world, will still be learned in the schools of value destruction.
I suggest that they include part of what they did here also in the D-9 driver course of the Corps of Engineers, before entering Gaza.
In this sad state of affairs, one cannot help but be reminded again, for the u-know-how-many times, of the precise, minimalist and most striking definition of Benjamin Netanyahu, which was heard from the mouth of a real right-wing leader, Yitzhak Shamir: a sabotaging angel.
