Warning: Upcoming Economic Disaster.. Zionist Capital Pressures “Netanyahu” to End the Aggression on Gaza

The Israeli economy has entered a new spiral of decline, driven by escalating deficits from funding the ongoing offensive and blockade on Gaza. Meanwhile, vital economic sectors, once generating billions for the Zionist enemy, are deteriorating due to the continued naval embargo on Israel, the persistent strikes by Palestinian resistance, and Hezbollah’s strategic operations. Compounding these challenges in the looming fear of an Iranian response, which together act like a snowball, weighing heavily on the Israeli economy. This has led to a surge in capital flight, investor withdrawal, and the closure of small and medium-sized enterprises.

According to Israeli media reports, the so-called “Ministry of Finance” in criminal Netanyahu’s government has warned of an impending economic disaster, urging for “spending cuts and tax increases.” However, this call highlights the extent of economic contradictions and confusion, as it comes at a time when Netanyahu’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, is demanding an increase in the budget and the implementation of compulsory economic policies to align with government expenditures related to the Gaza offensive and blockade.

As “Yedioth Ahronoth” reported, the Zionist “Ministry of Finance” has emphasized the urgent need for 50 billion shekels (approximately $14 billion) in funding. It warned that ignoring this request “would plunge the economy into a spiral,” signaling the severity of the economic collapse besieging Israel and increasing the pressure on Netanyahu to cease the Gaza offensive and lift the blockade.

In this context, Israeli media have noted a decline in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, indicating that economic leaders and capital holders are beginning to exert pressure on criminal Netanyahu’s government. This includes the possibility of a strike to force him to agree to a prisoner exchange deal and de-escalate the war. This effort by Israeli business elites aims to halt the economic collapse impacting their sectors and companies, which could deepen the fractures within Israel if criminal Netanyahu persists in his arrogance.

Hebrew newspapers and news sites have confirmed that dozens of businesses in Israel are on the brink of closure, following the shutdown of over 35,000 companies since October 7. They warn that the worsening economic crisis could soon surpass the government’s capacity to manage it.

Meanwhile, “Reuters” cited Israeli officials stating that the direct costs of the war will exceed the initially projected $70 billion. The report added that Smotrich has presented a budget for 2025 amounting to $68 billion, which economic observers view as an attempt to compensate for this year’s massive deficit. The announcement of the current deficit is seen as only a fraction of the true figures.

According to the Israeli newspaper “Globes,” Smotrich indicated that the deficit this year stands at 4% of the GDP. However, the actual deficit is believed to be even higher, underscoring that the impact of the Gaza offensive and blockade will extend for years, putting the Israeli government under enormous strain. The economic collapse is accelerating daily due to increasing strikes by the resistance and support fronts, particularly in Lebanon and Yemen, which have inflicted significant losses on Israel, crippling key sectors, especially exports and imports, which are now in a state of economic paralysis due to the Yemeni blockade.

It is worth noting that the Israeli currency, the shekel, has lost more than 17% of its value. Meanwhile, the stock indices of Zionist banks continue to plummet daily as investors flee, Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash) port faces bankruptcy, and overall commercial activity in Israel declines. This indicates that Israel is facing significant economic challenges in the short term and will continue to experience severe long-term effects, even if the Gaza offensive ceases.
