Former Mossad: Israel’s Economy Collapsed and Lost the War in Gaza

“This war (in Gaza) has no clear objectives, and we (Israel) will definitely lose. “We were forced to engage in fighting in the same area and ended up losing more soldiers,” said Ben Barak.

“We also faced setbacks on the international stage, our relations with the US deteriorated significantly, and Israel’s economy collapsed. Show me one thing we have done successfully,” added Ben Barak.
