Netanyahu Wants Endless War Abroad - Well The Bill Just Landed Inside Israel

Israel's own central bank just confirmed the damage. 750,000 not at work, refineries hit, businesses bleeding, deficit climbing. All on Netanyahu's war. Right, so let me start with a number, because the number is the story. Seven hundred and fifty thousand Israelis are not at work. That is the figure for March 2026, that is what is being reported, and that is what the broad unemployment rate inside Israel has now climbed to - a figure of around sixteen point two per cent. The last time it was anywhere near that high was during the COVID lockdowns. There is no plague this time. There is a war. Two of them, in fact. And the man running them is Benjamin Netanyahu, though if you already consider him a plague of a sort, then don’t let me dissuade you. Anyway, let’s lay out the craic here. Israel kicked off two simultaneous wars on the twenty-eighth of February this year - one against Iran, one against Lebanon, though arguably the Lebanese ceasefire that officially ended that day had never really functioned to begin with. Netanyahu's coalition called the Iran operation Roaring Lion. The Lebanon front continued an existing campaign against Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed political movement that has been trading fire with Israel across that northern border for years. Both fronts are running at the same time, both are pulling Israeli reservists out of their day jobs, both are inviting return fire from Iranian missiles, Iranian drones, Hezbollah rockets, and that return fire is hitting Israeli infrastructure inside Israel. That is the part Netanyahu does not want centred. He would rather the conversation stay on what Israeli aircraft are doing somewhere over Tehran or southern Beirut. The conversation is no longer there. The conversation is now sitting on a labour-market figure that Israel cannot make pretty. In March 2026, Israel faces a significant economic impact with 750,000 citizens experiencing job loss, pushing the unemployment rate to 16.2%. This resembles COVID-19 lockdown levels, but the current israel economy challenges stem from ongoing conflicts. This news and analysis highlights the severe economic strain on the nation. ►SOURCES: THE CRADLE: Unemployment rate spikes in Israel due to wars against Iran, Lebanon; US-Israeli war against Iran pushes over 30 million into poverty, UN says HAARETZ: 750,000 Israelis unemployed amid wars with Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon AL JAZEERA: Fire contained after missile attack on oil refinery in Israel's Haifa; US-Israeli war on Iran will push 30 million back into poverty, UN warns ANADOLU AGENCY: Iranian strikes spark fears of chemical leakage in southern Israel BANK OF ISRAEL: Research Department staff forecast, March 2026; Operation Roaring Lion assistance program; Press release on financial support for affected populations IMF: World Economic Outlook, April 2026 ***Subscribe to the channel here*** https://www.youtube.com/KernowDamo?sub_confirmation=1 ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
