Netanyahu laid his cards on the table Friday on Israel’s Channel 10: a cutoff of hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. military aid is “only a matter of time,” and he has already ordered preparations for a blockchain plan to get around banking sanctions.
Asked whether blockchain could work, he answered bluntly: “One option, certainly.”
As for who would draft the plan, which chain or currency it would use, or when it would be rolled out—he didn’t say a word. It was all left blank.
I think this was less a technical road map than a political signal delivered four days before the election: the sanctions hammer hasn’t fallen yet, but he’s already loudly invoking a “fallback plan.”
The trouble is, that fallback won’t be easy: public blockchains are visible to everyone, while the on- and off-ramps are all controlled by regulated banks, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers—and addresses can be frozen at the drop of a hat.
You can move numbers on-chain, but you can’t turn them back into real money. That hurdle can’t be cleared with a simple promise to “prepare a plan.”

Do you think he’s genuinely preparing a fallback, or using blockchain as a megaphone ahead of the election?
