The Diamond Deception: How China's Cheap Sparkle is Dulling Israel's War Chest

Who needs sanctions when you have capitalism, Chinese style? In this snarky, data-driven exposé, we reveal how China's booming synthetic diamond industry is inadvertently (or perhaps, conveniently) undermining a significant financial pillar of Israel's economy. Turns out, the best way to hit where it hurts isn't with a boycott, but with a bargain!

For years, Israel's diamond industry has been a glittering jewel in its economic crown, even contributing a staggering $1 billion annually to its Defense Ministry.

But with wholesale diamond prices plummeting by 40% in just two years and lab-grown alternatives costing up to 90% less, the natural diamond market is getting rocked. And guess who's leading the charge? China, the new undisputed king of lab-grown diamonds, churning out half the world's supply!
