Netanyahu: 'Israel’s economy is thriving; Smotrich has a hand in it'

Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for Israel's economic situation, testifying to good cooperation between them. Netanyahu stated the economy is thriving after three years of war. The article reports this praise but provides no specific economic data, indicators, or comparisons to substantiate the claim, and no independent sources or opposition voices are cited. The headline promises a substantive statement about the economy, but the body delivers only a brief, unsourced assertion with no supporting data. The tone is a wire-report register with attribution verbs and procedural phrasing.
