The Jewish billionaire who saved the Israeli economy in a message ahead of the elections

The Jewish-American billionaire Bill Ackman published a message ahead of the elections in Israel, calling for the establishment of a government without Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich to improve Israel's relations with the world.

The Jewish-American billionaire Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of the hedge fund Pershing Square, published a message today (Sunday) ahead of the elections in Israel. Ackman, considered a great friend of Israel who invested in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in January 2024, clarified that he is not expressing a position on the identity of the next prime minister, but presented a perspective on how Israel is perceived in the US. In a tweet posted on X, Ackman wrote that Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have caused immense reputational damage to Israel through their statements and actions, which are portrayed in the global media as reflecting the voice of all Israelis. According to him, a government formed without the two would send a message to the world that Israel is opening a new chapter, would allow restoring lost credibility, would increase the chances of expanding the Abraham Accords, and would earn better relations with Democrats, Republicans, and the American public.
