Key points
- Netanyahu suggests using crypto and blockchain to avoid sanctions
- U.S. defense aid to Israel is ending
- More than 60 Israeli economists and former officials warn of potential sanctions on the economy
If the plan works, Israel could have a more independent economy and be less dependent on U.S. aid. This could lead to more economic stability and growth.
If the plan fails, Israel could still face economic challenges and sanctions. This could lead to higher prices for goods and services, and make it harder for businesses to operate.
