TheMarker on Wednesday named Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the person who weilds the most influence on Israel's economy.
The selection is in spite of the fact that for Netanyahu, there are more pressing things than the economy to be dealt with, such as the relationship with the U.S. and the controversy surrounding his choice of foreign minister. Netanyahu seems to have decided that presenting himself as a prime minister strong on the economy no longer suits him. At the moment, he prefers to identify himself with a broader range of national issues.
