The economy of the Zionist regime is facing a series of painful blows after more than a hundred days have passed since the beginning of this regime’s military aggression against the Gaza Strip.
According to observers and experts, Netanyahu’s cabinet has not been able to save the Israeli economy from its losses as in previous wars, especially in the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip, which was the target of the Al-Aqsa storm operation and was responsible for supplying about 75% of the agricultural products needed by the regime. , the war turned it from an agricultural area into a closed military zone.

In addition to the cost of the military equipment of this regime, which was destroyed by the resistance, which amounts to a thousand armored vehicles and tanks, these are military losses that the invaders have not yet included in their estimates.

This expert said: The migration of more than 400,000 Israelis with dual citizenships to the European and American continents is reflected in the reduction of government and taxpayers’ income.
Shobaki said: The action of the Zionist regime in not allowing Palestinian workers to work in the construction sector in the occupied territories of 1948 and the flight of Thai workers from agricultural facilities around the Gaza Strip for fear of war has added a new burden to the Israeli economy.
He added: The continuation of the shipping crisis in the Red Sea and the confrontation of the Yemeni armed forces with the ships associated with the Zionist regime has caused traffic to the port of Eilat in the south of the occupied territories to be stopped by 95%, and on the other hand, the occupying regime relies on ships. which arrive from the Mediterranean Sea to its ports on the coast of this sea, and this has led to an increase in the fare of ships, and this has caused a sharp increase in the price of consumer goods and the price of vehicles inside Israel.
