Only such a government of reform will ensure the continuation of U.S. military aid and prevent sanctions that would bring our economy to its knees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"rich-text\" class=\"x13faqbe x12ds5z6 x1rrzvkg x1txrjqu x115k1yo x126s5kd x1az39ph x1qxhirb xhhm3bp xjplvm8 x1ur7pbh\">Opposition MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu), who leads the Knesset cryptocurrency lobby, said Netanyahu&#8217;s reelection would lead to &#8220;economic sanctions and political isolation. Instead of fighting the sanctions and ensuring that the State of Israel remains part of the Western world, he is selling us the vision of Iran.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"rich-text\" class=\"x13faqbe x12ds5z6 x1rrzvkg x1txrjqu x115k1yo x126s5kd x1az39ph x1qxhirb xhhm3bp xjplvm8 x1ur7pbh\">Forer said he had pushed a move to cryptocurrency and submitted a regulation bill, but &#8220;Netanyahu buried the crypto industry, despite all the discussions we initiated in the Knesset &#8230; and pushed the industry out of Israel. Now he presents crypto as a solution to sanctions as if it were a dark and illegal field.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Close Opposition leader Yair Lapid speaks at a conference in Tel Aviv, earlier in October.
