Israel’s Minister of Economic Affairs Noach Hacker will join Hudson’s Michael Doran for a discussion on how Israel has fortified its economic foundations for moments of extreme crisis. Amid relentless conflict and regional instability, Israel’s economy has defied expectations, showing remarkable stability and adaptability.

As confidence in Israel’s strategic trajectory grows, the country is poised for a new phase of economic expansion. Doran and Hacker will explore how Israel has built an economy capable of withstanding war and positioned itself to shape regional economics in a post–October 7 Middle East.
