In an interview yesterday: Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich on Iran: I don't believe Israel has any interest in entering the conflict with Iran right now. The current reality, in which there is a confrontation between the United States and Iran, is good for us. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: The global arms race is a tremendous opportunity for Israel's economy and for Israel's defense industries. We are world leaders in this field. Even countries that don't particularly like us politically or diplomatically still need us in this area. We're already seeing enormous order backlogs for Israel's defense companies.
