Israeli officials hint at military action against Iran's nuclear program.
TL;DR Summary
The shekel fell to its lowest level in years against the dollar, reaching NIS 3.73, after IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi warned of a possible war with Iran. The shekel has been on a general downward trend since a hardline government took power in January, and the passage of the government's first budget for 2023 and 2024 is expected to further weaken the currency. A weaker shekel is expected to raise the price of imported goods and travel abroad while also pushing up prices at the gas pump.
