Credit ratings agency S&P reaffirmed the Zionist entity’s A/A-1 credit rating — which it downgraded twice last year — while keeping its outlook negative.
In a report, S&P warned on Saturday that “the conflict between Israel, Hamas, and other proxies of Iran could substantially weaken Israel’s economy, public finances, and balance-of-payments position, particularly if the conflict escalates.”
“We could lower our ratings on Israel in the next 24 months if the military conflicts hamper the country’s economic growth, fiscal position, and balance of payments more than we currently anticipate,” the credit ratings agency wrote in thereport.
“This could be the case, for example, if the ongoing conflict persists, raising the risks of retaliatory attacks against Israel, or if the prospect of a direct war between Israel and Iran increases.”

Earlier in March, Moody’s credit rating company warned of economic risks in the Zionist entity.
Citing geopolitical pressures as well as internal division in domestic politics, Moody’s announced their assessment that imminent recovery did not look likely.
Last September Moody’s lowered the Zionist entity’s credit rating down two notches from A2 to BAA1 due to “diminished quality of Israel’s institutions and governance” regarding management of state finances, and increased spending needs with the war on multiple fronts.
