Israel's War Budget Faces Challenges and Economic Toll

Israel faces challenges in managing its expenditures during the war, with concerns about the impact on the market and government spending cuts. The war has also led to a budget deficit and debt-to-GDP ratio worsening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to provide financial support, but it may raise the deficit and debt-to-GDP ratio. The conflict has inflicted an economic toll of almost $8 billion, causing the government's budget deficit to balloon. The funding for religious programs and settlements has drawn criticism and worsened fiscal implications.
