Israel has raised $8 billion of debt since the start of the war with Hamas, with over half of it being dollar-denominated debt in international markets. The war has increased expenses for military funding, business compensation, and victim support, leading to a budget deficit of 22.9 billion shekels in October. The government plans to provide financial aid, which may raise the deficit and debt to GDP ratio.
