A State Unraveling: Expertise, Identity, and the New Israeli Crisis
Israel’s history can now be divided into “before” and “after” the Al-Aqsa Storm.
And no, that’s not an exaggeration.
The post–October 7 fallout is pushing the regime into deeper chaos by the day.
The Israeli daily Maariv has now admitted what officials tiptoe around: Israel is losing control of the situation.
The author of the report, a military analyst, describes how the flight of skilled professionals is placing Israel on the edge of structural collapse.
For a territory as small as the occupied lands, with a limited settler population, specialized talent isn’t just valuable — it’s existential.
But Tel Aviv’s war-fueled policies have driven many of its elite to choose other countries as their new home.
On top of that, rising arrests on espionage charges and a spike in smuggling, particularly weapons trafficking, point to a deeper identity, social, and even economic crisis within the regime.
Israel is no longer wrestling with isolated problems.
It’s wrestling with its own unraveling.
