WANA (Mar 29) – Since the beginning of the war, the Israeli occupation regime has faced an unprecedented crisis in all aspects—economic, social, psychological, and political. Statistics and realities paint a vastly different picture of a regime that once claimed to be invincible.

 

This report, based on the latest data as of March 21, 2025, examines the most significant signs of Israel’s decline.

1. Massive Economic Losses

The Israeli regime is experiencing an economic crisis unprecedented since its establishment in 1948:

 

  • Military losses: $34 billion

 

  • Total economic losses: $67 billion

 

  • Budget deficit: $40 billion (the highest in the regime’s history)

 

The economic consequences of 2024 were disastrous:

 

  • 60,000 businesses shut down, leading to widespread job losses

 

  • Tourism industry shrank by 70%, causing a $5 billion loss

 

  • Construction sector lost $4 billion, with over 70 companies halting operations

 

These figures indicate a potential economic collapse that could cripple Israel’s ability to continue the war.

 

2. Forced Displacement of Settlers

Due to ongoing conflict, 143,000 settlers have been forced to leave their homes, especially in settlements near Gaza and along the northern borders. Even after a temporary ceasefire, many refuse to return, fearing renewed escalation.

 

This situation has not only created an internal displacement crisis but has also triggered a wave of emigration, significantly affecting the demographic balance in the occupied territories.

3. Widespread Psychological Crisis

Israeli society is suffering from severe psychological trauma due to continued conflict and fear of resistance operations:

 

  • 900,000 people suffer from PTSD (a record-breaking number)

 

  • One-third of the population experiences depression or other mental health disorders

 

  • Alcohol consumption increased by 25%, indicating a rise in substance abuse

 

  • Sleeping pill sales surged by 180%, as many struggle to sleep without medication

 

  • 21 suicides were recorded within the Israeli army in 2024, though the real numbers are likely much higher

 

These statistics reflect an unprecedented decline in morale, directly impacting Israel’s military readiness and internal stability.

 

4. Reverse Jewish Migration

One of the most alarming trends in Israel is the mass exodus of Jews from the country:

 

  • 82,700 Jews left the occupied territories in 2024, marking the highest rate of reverse migration in decades.

 

  • In contrast, only 70,000 Jews immigrated to Israel in 2002—a trend that has now completely reversed.

 

This shift signals a loss of confidence in Israel’s future as a secure and stable entity, threatening its long-term survival.

5. Political and Ethical Collapse

The Israeli occupation is not only facing military and economic crises but also a political and diplomatic breakdown:

 

 

Its global image has been severely damaged, with increasing recognition of its occupation and crimes against humanity.

 

Many countries have distanced themselves diplomatically, with growing international condemnation.

 

The illusion of a “democratic and peaceful Israel” has crumbled, exposing its true nature as an apartheid state.

 

These developments have left Israel weaker than ever on the global stage, increasing its isolation and making it harder to maintain international support.

6. Internal Rebellion and Elite Fractures

One of Israel’s most hidden yet critical crises is the internal rebellion among its elite:

 

  • High-ranking officials, including a former Mossad chief and a former police commissioner, have openly opposed the government.

 

  • Families of Israeli captives have set up permanent protest camps outside the Justice Ministry, demanding an end to the war.

 

  • Deep political divisions among Israeli leaders on war management have increased the likelihood of government collapse.

 

These factors indicate that Tel Aviv is losing not only on external fronts but also internally.
