Netanyahu issued a warning about Israel's future conditions, stating that the country must prepare for economic sanctions. In an interview with Israel's Channel 10 economic network, he emphasized that changes in U.S. policies mean a reduction in military aid to Israel.
Fear of the Future
On the eve of Israel's highly competitive elections, Netanyahu noted that the realization of the current situation is "only a matter of time" and that these changes will occur sooner or later. He stressed that due to increasing opposition in the U.S. to military aid for Israel, the country must get used to a new reality. Netanyahu stated: "If you think we are going to continue receiving the aid that I negotiated for twice — meaning tens of billions of dollars in U.S. aid for the defense budget — prepare yourself and get used to the fact that this will not happen, because America has changed."

Preparing for Sanctions
The Prime Minister of Israel also explicitly stated that the regime must create alternative economic and financial mechanisms in light of the possibility of sanctions. He said: "You must understand that there is a possibility of sanctions, including banking sanctions. We need to prepare an economy that can circumvent these sanctions." These remarks reflect Netanyahu's serious concerns about Israel's future economic situation and the necessity of taking measures to counter any economic pressure.
Netanyahu further referred to new technologies, stating that blockchain technology might be one way to counter sanctions. He added: "Yes, this is one of the ways. I have already ordered a plan to be prepared in this regard." These statements indicate Netanyahu's efforts to find innovative solutions in the face of economic and political challenges.
Conclusion
Given the current conditions and the increasing opposition to military aid for Israel, it seems that Netanyahu is striving to prepare his country for potential sanctions by establishing necessary readiness. He clearly understands that Israel's future is influenced by political changes not only in the U.S. but also internationally, and must react swiftly to these developments.
