PNN – The “iceberg” that General Yitzhak Brick predicted would soon destroy Israel is none other than the Iran-led Axis of Resistance.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Abdel Bari Atwan—a prominent Palestinian analyst and editor-in-chief of the pan-Arab online newspaper Rai al-Youm—addressed a recent article by the well-known Zionist General Yitzhak Brick (who had warned of Israel’s imminent collapse) in his latest editorial for the publication. Atwan wrote that one of the most powerful and accurate descriptions of the state of collapse currently being experienced by the Israeli occupation regime—a situation likely to intensify in the foreseeable future—comes from Yitzhak Brick, a retired Israeli general.
The Iceberg That Will Destroy Israel
Abdel Bari Atwan added: In an article published yesterday in the Maariv newspaper, Yitzhak Brick wrote that the current situation of the Israelis reminds one of the passengers on the Titanic—eating, drinking, and dancing on the deck, oblivious to the terrifying iceberg looming before them just minutes before the catastrophic collision.
He emphasized: However, we disagree with this Zionist general’s specific characterization of a single iceberg; the reality is that a colossal iceberg known as the “Axis of Resistance”—led by Iran—confronts the Zionist regime, having spawned smaller icebergs. Collectively, these icebergs possess the power to redraw strategic maps not only across West Asia but throughout the entire world.
The article continues: The devastating blow dealt to the Zionist regime—and to its army and intelligence agencies—began in October 2023 with the Palestinian resistance’s “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. This was followed by a series of subsequent blows against the regime, extending from Gaza to Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran, and potentially reaching Syria in the near future.
According to the article, General Yitzhak Brick acknowledged that the Israeli army—an institution whose invincibility was once a source of pride and boasting for the regime’s officials and settlers—is witnessing an erosion of its defensive and offensive capabilities and has entered a state of exhaustion; a state of overt attrition.
The editor-in-chief of Rai al-Youm continued: This situation stems from the end of the Zionist army’s era of decisive superiority, brought about by the emergence of other Arab and Islamic forces—forces possessing military capabilities such as highly advanced missiles that are sometimes impossible to intercept, as well as drones that have confounded the Zionists, easily penetrating the airspace of occupied Palestine and killing large numbers of Zionist troops.
The End of the Era of Zionist Dominance in the Region and the Emergence of Resistance Dynamics
The commentary continues: The era in which the Zionist regime’s airstrikes could determine the outcome of battles within a matter of hours has ended once and for all. Furthermore, the credibility of U.S. military power—acting as the Zionist regime’s protector, the guarantor of its security and longevity, and the source of all its elements of power—has rapidly eroded in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea.
Abdel Bari Atwan noted that the occupying Zionist regime incited the ignorant US President, Donald Trump, to dispatch aircraft carriers and warships to the region and engage in an arrogant act of aggression against Iran—hoping to topple the country’s regime, destroy its nuclear and missile programs, and force it into total submission. Yet, the outcome was the exact opposite of what the Americans and Zionists had desired and envisioned; Trump, who once threatened to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, now wakes up in a panic fearing assassination and is pleading for a return to negotiations.
The Palestinian writer went on to address the situation in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian resistance, stating: Hamas will soon regroup; it may dig more tunnels beneath the Zionist occupation forces, replenish its missile stockpiles, and rebuild its manpower with tens of thousands of new fighters—much like Hezbollah did in Lebanon.
The article further emphasizes that the ideology of the Axis of Resistance unites all sects and ethnic groups under its banner; this is the key to its resilience and victory—a triumph that rubs the noses of arrogant America and its illegitimate offspring, Israel, in the dust. Indeed, who could have previously foreseen such a fundamental shift in global public opinion against Zionism—particularly among the American people themselves, who view Trump as Israel’s puppet?
The Secret behind Yitzhak Brick’s Admission of Israel’s Imminent Collapse
Atwan continued: Israel has not changed; its accelerating collapse is not due to internal factors or its passengers dancing on the ship’s deck. Rather, it is because we—the Axis of Resistance, or specifically some of us—are the ones who have changed. We have acquired the instruments of power: nuclear capability, advanced military might, and a courage and audacity that shatter all false international standards, rendering the fear of American-Zionist power meaningless.
In conclusion, the Palestinian writer stated that the recent conflict involving the US and the Zionist regime against Iran has turned the fifty American bases in the region into a laughingstock—a strategic burden incapable of defending itself. Consequently, when Benjamin Netanyahu—the prime minister of the occupying regime—swallows his threats to bomb Beirut’s Dahiyeh and shut down Beirut’s airport out of sheer terror regarding missiles from Iran, Hezbollah, and Ansarullah, it serves as the strongest indication of the accelerating collapse of Israel—a reality General Yitzhak Brick acknowledged in a recent article.
