The free fall of the Zionist regime’s economy and the flight of investors.
Border clashes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah in northern occupied Palestine have become a nightmare for the Israeli economy. While the regime is still struggling with the economic consequences of the Gaza war, the opening of the northern front has dealt a fatal blow to the economic infrastructure, and what the Hebrew-language media refers to as economic collapse is now closer to reality than ever before.
Northern occupied Palestine, once known as the economic hub of the Israeli regime, has now become a deserted area. The massive evacuation of settlers, the closure of factories and production centers, and the flight of investors have completely changed the face of the region. The Central Bank of the Israeli regime, which until now tried to reduce the severity of the situation by presenting promising statistics, is now officially speaking of an unprecedented economic crisis.
The “hi-tech” industries, which have always been known as a symbol of the Israeli regime’s economic success, are now on the verge of collapse. The massive call-up of reservists, a significant portion of whom were employed in these industries, has effectively shut down many technology companies. Economic experts warn that it will take years to recover from these losses, even if the fighting stops immediately. The situation is even worse in the northern agricultural and tourism sectors. Tourism and farming, once the main source of income for residents of the region, are now completely paralyzed. Farmers who have been forced to abandon their fields have not only lost this year’s harvest but also worry about an uncertain future. Hotels and tourist centers that once hosted foreign tourists have now become shelters for internally displaced people and are completely out of the profit cycle.
Meanwhile, the political rifts in Netanyahu’s war cabinet are deepening day by day. Benny Gantz and other cabinet members, who previously tried to hide their differences to maintain cohesion, are now openly talking about the economic disaster and holding Netanyahu directly responsible for the situation. The street protests, which this time centered on economic demands, show that Zionist society can no longer bear the costs of this war of attrition.
