The Economy Minister claimed that "only disabled companies issue in Israel," and that "successful high-tech companies go straight to the Americans." He also called for Rafael and Israel Aerospace Industries to issue in the US and not on the local stock exchange. Later, Barekat issued a clarification: "The Israeli stock exchange has proven its strength and immunity; I regret the unsuccessful wording."
