Israel’s political map could be about to implode. In countries, such as the UK, the hatred of Israel is actively encouraged in some parts on mainstream politics. However, for all of these and other worrying issues, something beautiful is also happening.

What brings all this together was a little known stat released by the Bank of Israel this week. Their original projection for economic growth in 2017 was 2.8%. This has now been revised upwards to 3.4%. That is a significant leap forward, benefitting many. And one of the key factors for the improvement must be the continuing openness of society, as described in the points above.

For the record, the position should be maintained throughout 2018 as well. This should be led to an increase in exports, despite the relative strength of the shekel.

I was left asking where else in the world do you see such potential being fulfilled, especially for such a small country which is surrounded by hostility?
