The second development benefiting the Israeli economy is the Mideast peace process begun at the Madrid conference of October 1991, which led to the signing of accords between Israel and the Palestinians and a peace treaty between Israel and Jordan.
The slowdown is generally attributed to setbacks in the peace process, the waning of the beneficial effects of immigration, labor shortages in high-tech industries, tighter fiscal and monetary policy, and the Asian financial crisis which began in late 1997.
Israel also has trade and cooperation agreements in place with the European Union and Canada, and is seeking to conclude such agreements with a number of other countries, including Turkey and several countries in Eastern Europe.

 The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies Jerusalem, Washington
It is dangerous for Israel to deal naively with a regime murderous of its own people, openly aggressive toward its neighbors, criminally involved with international drug traffickers and counterfeiters, and supportive of the most deadly terrorist organizations.
Israel may also find that many of her neighbors, such as Jordan, have problems with Arafat and may want to cooperate.
Israel’s new agenda can signal a clean break by abandoning a policy which assumed exhaustion and allowed strategic retreat by reestablishing the principle of preemption, rather than retaliation alone and by ceasing to absorb blows to the nation without response.

 Israel the Economy
SINCE THE FOUNDING of Israel in 1948, the Israeli economy has experienced two distinct periods: one spanning the years 1948 through 1972, and another stretching from 1973 to 1988.
The three prominent features of the Israeli economy during the first period were the ingathering of the exiles (resulting in a very high rate of population growth), considerable importing of capital, and rapid growth of total and per capita gross national product (GNP).
During this period, the Israeli economy grew at a very rapid rate, averaging an annual GNP increase of 10.4 percent annually.

The Israeli Economy, 1985-1998 explores the obstacles faced and transformations experienced during this transition period.
After a relaxation in the intensity of the Israeli-Arab conflict during the latter part of the 1970s and early 1980s, Israel was in a better position to address the economic difficulties it faced in the forms of high inflation and almost nonexistent growth of gross domestic product (GDP).
How Israel addressed its reform program is described in six major headings: fiscal policy; monetary policy; financial market reforms; reforms in the goods and services markets; immigration and the labor market; and changes in growth, branch structure, and income distribution.

Above all, it is a grand, perpetual deconstruction of Israel's material reality, a penetrating, sarcastic and well-written study of 'where we live'.

Sending more aid to Israel would not only deprive America's economy of much needed funds at a time of economic crisis, it would further damage our nation's interests in the Muslim world by again offering blind support for the oppression of the Palestinian people," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad.
Awad noted that Israel's aid request comes as a number of cash-strapped states are asking for economic support and lawmakers nationwide are seeking funds for drought relief, education, job programs, transportation, prescription drug benefits for seniors, environmental concerns, and law enforcement.
Israel's latest aid request is in addition to the more than $3 billion American taxpayer dollars that nation already receives annually.
