Israel’s assessment report: the new round of conflict has hit its economy hard.

  An assessment report released by Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry earlier this week shows that the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has seriously impacted Israel’s national economy. Nearly one-fifth of the country’s labor force and the vast majority of Palestinians with work permits are out of work, resulting in economic losses of 13 billion new shekels (about 3.44 billion US dollars).

△ On November 15th, local time, Israeli air strikes were carried out in northern Gaza.

  On October 7th, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) launched a surprise attack on military and civilian targets in Israel from the Gaza Strip, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the whole country into a "state of war" on the same day. Over the past month or so, Israeli military operations in the Gaza have killed more than 11,000 Palestinians and injured more than 28,000 others. About 1,200 people in Israel died in the conflict and more than 7,200 people were injured. Another 240 people were held hostage by armed groups in Gaza, such as Hamas. Hamas said that dozens of them were killed by Israeli air strikes.

  According to the assessment report released by the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry on the 13th, about 764,000 domestic laborers have been out of work since the outbreak of this round of conflict, accounting for 19.4%. The main reasons for the absence of domestic labor force include being drafted into the Israeli army reserve, high risk in residential areas, and having to accompany their children at home because of the suspension of school. In response to the war, the Israeli government announced the mobilization of 360,000 reservists.

  The report pointed out that after the conflict broke out, 97% of the approximately 135,000 Palestinian laborers working in Israel were not allowed to enter Israel at this stage, which led to the impact on many important industries such as construction, agriculture and service. Most of these Palestinian laborers come from the West Bank, and many from Gaza. The economic loss caused by the inability of Palestinian workers to be on duty is about 3 billion NIS (US$ 780 million), and the economic loss caused by the absence of all workers has reached 13 billion NIS.

  According to this report, due to the conflict, the demand for goods and services in Israel’s domestic market has declined, and household credit card spending has dropped by about 20% year-on-year.

  According to data from Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, since the conflict broke out, more than half of Israeli enterprises have faced more than 50% turnover losses. In southern Israel, near the Gaza Strip, two-thirds of enterprises either closed down or operated minimally. In addition, the data shows that from October 8 to October 31, the number of foreign tourists arriving in Israel decreased by 73.1% compared with the same period of last year, and the number of people going abroad in Israel decreased by 45.1% year-on-year.

  According to the report released by Israel Airport Authority on 14th, there are only seven foreign airlines flying to Israel. The passenger flow of Ben-Gurion International Airport, Israel’s largest airport, was 1.17 million in October, a decrease of 41.25% compared with the same period in 2022; There were 9078 international flights, down 28.9% year-on-year.

  Israel’s National Security Institute estimates that since the outbreak of the conflict, the average daily expenditure of the Israeli government has been about 1 billion new shekels (about 260 million US dollars), and it is estimated that the total cost of Israel in this round of conflict will reach 150 billion to 200 billion new shekels, accounting for about 10% of GDP.

  Taiwan diva Xu Ruo?, Hong Kong veteran actor Wu Mengda, who stars in the Chinese-Korean romantic comedy "The Art of Love and War", recently appeared on Hunan Satellite TV’s "The Story Behind". Wu Mengda looked back on the years when he was "hurt by women, drinking and gambling" like a review, and revealed that he almost committed suicide when he went bankrupt due to 300,000’s debts.


  And Xu Ruo? talks generously about the experience of many years of love, and laughs that she likes to use the "hard-to-get" trick in the "36 Love Strategies".


  [Career Peak] "Hu Tiehua" lost herself


  In 1971, Wu Mengda, a young man under the age of 20, thought he was a handsome guy who could eat well in the entertainment industry and excitedly went to the TVB artist training class. After performing a mime, he became classmates with Zhou Yun-fat and Zhou Xingchi. "When I was playing tricks, I only had 8 lines a day at most, such as’Master is not well, Madam is sick ‘, and I could enjoy it for a while."


  At that time, it was the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and with his cleverness, Wu Mengda established a firm foothold in the circle. Hu Tiehua, who took on the role in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", brought his career to the peak, earning 1,500 US dollars in one appearance. "Many people around me held me up to the sky. I completely lost myself. I drank and played cards every day. I didn’t have the heart to work, so I looked forward to finishing work early."


  [Encountered difficulties] I hated Zhou Yunfa very much at that time


  In 1980, Wu Mengda suddenly found that the unemployment crisis was approaching, and he not only could not make ends meet, but also owed 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in gambling debts. What was more uncomfortable was that there was no drama to play, and in this case he was suddenly declared bankrupt.


  In order to get through this difficult time, the first thing he thought of was his best friend Chow Yun-fat. "I didn’t expect him to say to me, ‘You solve it yourself!’ I hated him so much at the time, I couldn’t understand that sentence, 300,000 what is it to him? I thought about it at home for three days. I remembered a reservoir I went to play with when I was a child, and everything was solved by jumping down. I wanted to commit suicide." Not only Chow Yun-fat of the same generation, but also his junior brother Du Qifeng "also thought I was a piece of mud and looked down on me." Speaking of these unbearable memories, and seeing his condescending role in "Shaolin Football" on the screen, Uncle Da couldn’t help but wipe his tears.


  [Reinvigorated] "Stephen Chow + Wu Mengda" has become a classic


  In 1988, he started his first collaboration with Stephen Chow on "He’s From the Jianghu", and since then the "Stephen Chow + Wu Mengda" model has become a symbol of the nonsense style.


  However, the close cooperation between each other caused a crack in the film "Kung Fu". "When I encountered’SARS ‘, my schedule was up, and I couldn’t make’Kung Fu’. He didn’t think I was enough friends." Regarding the relationship between the two, Wu Mengda bluntly said that Zhou Xingchi now feels different from before. "He has raised himself to a high level, and now no one dares to deny him, but I think he needs to be denied, because he is a mortal, and everyone is wrong sometimes."


  Wu Mengda also said that no matter what the outside world thinks of Zhou Xingchi, the other party is undoubtedly talented. "Like’Journey to the West ‘, he just wants to make it good and fun, and he didn’t consider it a classic at all." Special Reporter | Wang Lu | Wen
