Hand it over!Globes Online“The defense industry will continue to prosper, because our current strategic situation will continue for a long time. We’ll need a $5 billion-a-year defense industry,” Ministry of Defense director-general Amos Yaron said today at the Institute of Policy and Strategy's annual Herzliya Conference.
Economic Models Israel CEO Yaakov Sheinin said at the conference that the defense industries were one of the biggest catalysts in the Israeli economy. “This industry employs 31,000 workers, and unfortunately, it isn’t exploited at all,” he stated.
”The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) can be made capital intensive. For example, for every Merkava Mark 4 tank manufactured today, the IDF is willing to get rid of two other tanks, which means fewer personnel and lower costs. Many more should be manufactured. Now is the time to produce Merkava tanks, because there’s no alternative,” Sheinin declared.
