Economist Dan Ben-David warns that Israel is approaching a spiral of economic collapse and that a complete overhaul of the education system is needed to avert it, according to a Times of Israel op-ed.
The warning from Ben-David, a prominent economist and professor at Tel Aviv University, adds to an ongoing public debate over Israel's economic trajectory and the role of education in sustaining growth. As The Zioneer has reported, proposals for structural reform have been advanced by figures such as former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who has called for a 'new contract' to overhaul state systems. Ben-David's assessment underscores the urgency of addressing long-term productivity challenges, though the op-ed does not provide specific policy recommendations.
