While some companies are withdrawing their investments, other companies see opportunities in Israel and are happy to invest here. Zelekha said that the Shekel, Israel\u2019s currency, is stable, and the public does not have cause for worry. He added that there is no reason why Israel\u2019s credit rating would be downgraded by analytical firms like Moody&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To listen to the whole interview, click here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifatmediasite.com\/ms\/radiomp4\/2023\/03\/08\/12028853.mp4\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.ifatmediasite.com\/ms\/radiomp4\/2023\/03\/08\/12028853.mp4&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1678693631896000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1YhyFSj35H-V1UYogI92u6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ifatmediasite.com\/ms\/radiomp4\/2023\/03\/08\/12028853.mp4<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threats of Disinvestment Due Judicial Reform Are No Cause for Worry Says Ono Prof.\u00a0 In an interview on Israel TV\u2019s Kan 11 7pm Newscast \u201cCurrent Events at 7,\u201d Ono Academic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29915,"menu_order":335,"template":"","class_list":["post-30182","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories_news-updates_news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/30182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
