Israel's $133B War Tab Strains Public Finances, Threatens Fiscal Resilience

Israel's cumulative war costs have reached approximately $133 billion, driving up public debt and straining military, health, and education budgets. The fiscal deterioration raises concerns about Israel's capacity to respond to future crises, though the exact debt-to-GDP trajectory remains uncertain. This marks a sustained economic consequence of the ongoing conflict, with implications for sovereign creditworthiness and regional stability.
