An article from Calcalist, republished by Cursor Info, assesses the influence of US President Donald Trump on Israel's economy and politics. The author claims that Trump has topped the ranking of people with the greatest influence on the Israeli economy for the second consecutive year, despite holding no official position in the country. His influence is compared to a natural force that cannot be controlled. Five main channels of influence are highlighted: geopolitical (determining the course of the confrontation with Iran, the future of Gaza, and the disarmament of Hamas), trade policy (a 15% tariff on Israeli exports to the US), interest rates (the rate differential between countries), the dollar exchange rate (weakening due to Trump's policies), and the impact on the governance system. It is noted that White House decisions directly affect the stock exchange, the shekel, and the work of the Finance Ministry.
