04:58โขTrump's Global Tariffs Shock Israeli Economy
โจThe newspapers report on two major developments. First, Trump has imposed sweeping global tariffs, including a 17% tariff on Israeli exports to the US, creating what sources call an "economic earthquake" (Kan, Mako, n12, Kipa, Davar, Haaretz, Ynet, i24NEWS, Times). The tariffs are particularly severe on China (34%) and the EU (20%), with European leaders threatening to respond. Second, IDF ground forces conducted a military operation in southern Syria, eliminating terrorists who fired at Israeli forces, with accompanying airstrikes targeting military sites near Damascus, Hama, and Homs (13tv, Jerusalem Post, Srugim, Maariv). Meanwhile, debate continues over military service, with bereaved father Hagai Luber calling for equality in service burden (INN, Makor Rishon).
