The campaign to boycott Zionist goods in Egypt was formed as a continuation of the global “Boycott” campaign in 2015. Hossam Mahmoud, one of the founders of this campaign, told Sputnik that the economy of the Israeli regime is in dire straits in the current situation, and this is just the first effects of the war, which has cost Israel more than 30 billion dollars so far.

In this regard, Amir Yaron, the head of the Central Bank of the Zionist regime, said two days ago that the war in the Gaza Strip is costing the regime “more than expected” and is putting pressure on its budget.

The Institute for Internal Security Studies of the Zionist regime earlier, referring to the initial forecasts of the economic effects of the war, which were presented by the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of this regime, emphasized that the continuation of the war has important and long-term consequences. It will affect Israel’s economy.

The Ministry of Finance of the Zionist regime has estimated that the total direct and indirect cost of the war will reach about one billion shekels ($250 million) per day, according to the Security Studies Institute. Inside the Zionist regime, these expectations are based on the scenario of a war on only one front against Gaza, that is, in the north of occupied Palestine, without expanding in the region.
