" Israel Will Collapse Within a Year if the War of Attrition Against Hamas and Hezbollah Continues" Detailed overview of Haaretz's article by Retired Israeli General, Yitzhak Brik

  A detailed overview of Haaretz's article by Yitzhak Brik " Israel Will Collapse Within a Year if the War of Attrition Against Hamas and Hezbollah Continues"

In Yitzhak Brik's Haaretz opinion piece titled "Israel Will Collapse Within a Year if the War of Attrition Against Hamas and Hezbollah Continues," the retired general expresses his deep concern about the ongoing conflict's impact on Israel. He argues that the prolonged war of attrition with Hamas and Hezbollah, if continued, will lead to Israel's collapse within a year. Brik highlights several key issues, including:

1. Military Stalemate: 
Brik criticizes Israel's military leadership for misleading the public with claims of impending victory. He points out that despite early military successes in Gaza, the war has become a quagmire with mounting Israeli casualties, without any clear path to defeating Hamas.

2. Internal Crises: 
The war has severely strained Israeli society. Economic decline, political instability, and social divisions have intensified. The ongoing mobilization of reservists, coupled with economic instability and international boycotts, is pushing the country toward collapse.

3. Diplomatic Failures: 
According to Brik, Prime Minister Netanyahu's mishandling of ceasefire negotiations has worsened the situation. Opportunities for a ceasefire and hostage deals were lost due to hardline stances, which Brik argues have only strengthened Hamas and Hezbollah's resolve.

4. Potential Regional War: 
Brik warns that failure to de-escalate the situation could provoke a wider regional conflict, especially involving Iran and Hezbollah, putting Israel in even greater danger.


In his grim assessment, Brik concludes that unless Israel changes its political and military strategy, the nation faces the risk of internal collapse within a year.

IMEC. LACKS LOGICAL JUSTIFICATION.

 "Critics argue that India’s new corridor lacks logical justification. India opting for a rail and shipping corridor when the existing and cheaper Suez Canal and maritime routes are available does not make sense . Secondly, building railways through desert terrain requires elevated tracks with deep support to withstand shifting sands and hard bedrock. The political landscape in the US adds another layer of uncertainty, as opposition to investment in this corridor could increase if the Biden administration loses power. The Republicans, on the other hand, would oppose putting money into a failing project just like they did not want to put money into the Ukraine war. On the other hand, the US and India have previously announced initiatives like the Chabahar Corridor, the International North-South Corridor and the US Blue Dot Network, but the status of these projects remains uncertain." "...Moreover, IMEC passes through Jordan and Israel, introducing complex geopolitical ch
