What happened

Key facts

  • The Jewish People Policy Institute counted 94 non-academic measures targeting Israel that were in force (per algemeiner.com).
  • The Jewish People Policy Institute is an Israeli research organization focused on Jewish affairs and policy (per algemeiner.com).
  • The Bank of Israel forecast growth of 5.6% in 2026 and 7.5% in 2027 when production abroad is included (per algemeiner.com).
  • The Bank of Israel said production abroad by multinational companies registered in Israel does not have the same direct impact on the population inside Israel (per algemeiner.com).

The brief

The Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) counted 94 non-academic measures targeting Israel that were in force, according to Algemeiner. The figures form part of a broader count of 139 sanctions, restrictions and diplomatic measures documented across 64 countries and entities. JPPI also counted 17 measures targeting academia.

The account describes JPPI as an Israeli research organization focused on Jewish affairs and policy. It does not detail the individual measures or identify which countries or entities imposed them.

Israel Hayom’s headline separately reports 121 sanctions measures against Israel, a figure that differs from JPPI’s total count of 139 sanctions, restrictions and diplomatic measures; the headline does not specify the scope or methodology behind its number.

In a statement quoted by Algemeiner, Friedman warned that failing to recognize Israel’s reliance on the world for livelihood, security and survival could lead to a “dead end.” The statement links that dependence broadly to the country’s circumstances but does not specify which of the measures Friedman was addressing or identify a particular remedy.

The account places JPPI’s tally alongside economic projections from the Bank of Israel. The central bank forecast growth of 3.4% in 2026 and 5.1% in 2027 when production abroad is excluded. It projected higher figures—5.6% and 7.5% for those years, respectively—when including production abroad by multinational companies registered in Israel.

The Bank of Israel said that this overseas production does not have the same direct impact on the population inside Israel as domestic economic activity.

The figures therefore distinguish between growth tied to production inside Israel and growth that includes activity abroad; the account does not provide a separate estimate of how the measures JPPI counted relate to either forecast.

JPPI’s count frames the measures as a broad set of restrictions and diplomatic actions, while Friedman’s statement emphasizes dependence on international connections. The reported figures establish the scale of the institute’s tally, but do not describe the terms, effects or enforcement of individual measures.

The Bank of Israel forecasts offer economic context, not a stated assessment of the measures’ impact.

Why it matters

  • JPPI’s tally identifies 94 active non-academic measures and 17 measures targeting academia, alongside 139 measures overall.
  • The Bank of Israel’s forecast distinguishes growth excluding production abroad—3.4% in 2026 and 5.1% in 2027—from projections including it—5.6% and 7.5%.
  • Friedman’s statement identifies livelihood, security and survival as stakes of dependence on the world, without specifying a particular measure or remedy.

What to watch next

  • Whether JPPI publishes further detail about the 94 active non-academic measures.
  • Whether the scope behind Israel Hayom’s headline figure of 121 sanctions measures is clarified.
  • Whether the Bank of Israel revises its 2026 and 2027 growth forecasts.

How we got here

Before the 2026 count, international legal and diplomatic measures concerning Israel had accumulated through several distinct channels. On July 19, 2024, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion finding Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful and saying it should end as rapidly as possible.

On September 18, 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution ES-10/24, calling for that presence to end within 12 months. Those steps followed the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed and hostages were taken, and Israel’s ensuing military campaign in Gaza.
