Hamas鈥檚 October 7 attack on Israel caused the Jewish State to reevaluate the strength of its capabilities and its capacity to maintain border control. Israel has mobilized over 300,000 reservists to fight on the ground against Hamas. Although the Israel Defense Forces鈥� yearly budget of around $23.6 billion is more than the combined military spending of Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, and Jordan, Israel鈥檚 operation against Hamas may strain its finances. Since the beginning of the conflict, Israel has spent almost $246 million per day, according to Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. 

Join Hudson Senior Fellow Michael Doran for a discussion on Israel鈥檚 budget during the Israel-Hamas war with Noach Hacker, the minister of economic affairs representing Israel鈥檚 Ministry of Finance.
