ISRAEL - Record Exports Despite War

Israeli exports reached an all-time high of $164 billion in 2025, setting a new national record despite war, global economic uncertainty and what the Israel Export Institute described as unprecedented hostility toward the country.

One of the report’s most significant findings was that services exports exceeded $90 billion for the first time. Growth was led by the high-tech, software, research and development sectors, reinforcing Israel’s position as one of the world’s leading innovation hubs and highlighting the ability of Israeli companies to continue growing during periods of uncertainty.

“During a year in which Israel faced a difficult war, alongside unprecedented hostility toward the country on the international stage, Israeli companies once again proved that innovation, creativity, and Israeli quality are stronger than any challenge,” said Avi Balashnikov, chairman of the Israel Export Institute.

“Despite repeated attempts to undermine Israel’s economy, the world continues to seek the technology, expertise, and solutions that come from Israel.” These figures are clear evidence that Israeli excellence continues to prevail. The Israel Export Institute will continue working tirelessly to open new doors for Israeli exporters and connect them with business opportunities around the world.”

Commentary: Israel’s relatives through Abraham’s nephew, Lot, were not to be included with the Jews. Nehemiah proclaims, “Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing” (Nehemiah 13:2).

That humanity is under a curse is evident from clear Biblical teaching. However, there is an escape, because Galatians 3:13 proclaims: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”

And at the very end, Revelation 22:3 states: “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.”
