My answer: I'm not sure the State of Israel will even be here in a few years | Yitzhak Brik

Maj. Gen. (res.) Yitzhak Brik warns of Israel's collapse within a few years due to deep social division, a turbulent economy, deterioration of the education system, loss of international support, and an outdated security concept. Brik calls for new, professional, non-political leadership to lead a fundamental correction in all areas.

Maj. Gen. (res.) Yitzhak Brik publishes a sharp opinion piece in which he argues that the State of Israel is on the verge of total collapse. Brik opens with a call to emerge from denial and recognize the real situation. He describes a crumbling tribal society, with hatred between right and left, religious and secular, Arabs and Jews, preventing national cooperation. According to him, messianic extremists are promoting a halachic state that will drive away hi-tech and science people, while the extreme left promotes a 'state of all its citizens' that will abolish Jewish identity. On the international stage, Brik warns of 'losing the United States as a friend' and European sanctions on settlements, which he says effectively apply to all of Israel. Economically, he notes a national debt of 1.4 trillion shekels, with Israel paying 50 billion shekels in interest alone in 2024. In the education system, he cites PISA tests indicating a 'historic collapse' and that about half of students are below the minimum threshold. Finally, he attacks the national security concept that has not been updated since Ben-Gurion, and the two-thirds cut to the ground army, leading to an inability to decide the 'Swords of Iron' war. Brik calls for professional, non-political leadership to lead a fundamental correction.
