Israel’s Deepening Despair

October 21, 2025 By InMiddle East - West Asia

Trump is dogwhistling and pretending power:

One of our reliable resistance channels prepared this very fair report on the real state of zionist-israel.

Israel’s Deepening Despair

Following the “Operation al-Aqsa Storm”, Israel entered its gravest military, political, and psychological crisis in decades. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei recently remarked that “Trump’s visit to the region is merely to give hope to a despondent Israel” a statement reflecting a deep reality: Israel’s crisis is no longer political or diplomatic alone; it is existential.

Post-October War Paralysis

Since al-Aqsa Flood, Israel has resembled a wounded state lashing out blindly. Despite relentless bombardment, the tide of time has turned against Tel Aviv. Hamas’s surprise offensive shattered Israel’s famed intelligence and deterrence, leaving its political establishment scrambling for relevance. Two years later, Israel still fails to eliminate Hamas a reality cemented in the Sharm al-Sheikh negotiations, where Israel sat across the table from the very resistance it vowed to annihilate.

Analyst Fareed Zakaria aptly called that summit “an American rescue plan for Israel” a global attempt to pull Tel Aviv out of the quagmire created by its own hubris.

Northern Front: The Hezbollah Factor

Israel’s second strategic failure came on its northern front. Initial cyber and aerial operations against Hezbollah including the now-infamous “Pagers Operation” failed catastrophically. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) hoped to reach Beirut; instead, they stalled within 8 kilometers of the border. Efforts to disarm Hezbollah backfired, solidifying Lebanese unity with the army, the people, and the Resistance now aligned. What began as a campaign to weaken Hezbollah turned into a political and military victory for it.

Southern Shock: Yemen’s Ascendance

Yemen has emerged as the region’s unexpected game-changer. Responding directly to Iran’s call to “cut off the Zionist regime’s lifeline,” the Yemeni Armed Forces crippled Israel’s Red Sea access and threatened its logistical core:

Disabled Eilat Port
Rendered Ben Gurion Airport unsafe
Disrupted maritime routes to Israel
Kept Israeli air-raid sirens alive across the nation
The Houthis have redefined asymmetric warfare proving that Israel’s regional dominance can be challenged even from distant fronts.

Arab and International Isolation

Tel Aviv’s reckless strike on Qatar was a turning point. Instead of demonstrating deterrence, it alienated Arab states. Saudi Arabia quietly moved closer to Pakistan, while Gulf capitals grew wary of Israel’s unpredictability. In the West, pro-Israel media networks like those under Rupert Murdoch struggled to contain a growing anti-Israel backlash. From London to New York, streets filled with protestors, and even the UN halls turned their backs on Netanyahu’s speeches a symbolic collapse of decades of propaganda investment.

Iran’s Shadow and the Shattered Myth

Israel’s confrontation with Iran marked the end of its myth of invincibility. For the first time, Tel Aviv faced a peer adversary capable of penetrating its air defenses and striking strategic assets. Iranian missile salvos forced Israelis to experience war in its raw form not as distant images but as immediate terror. The “weak Iran” narrative evaporated in the dust of direct confrontation.

Internal Breakdown

Inside Israel, social order is unraveling. Educational and economic institutions have collapsed; political resignations and military purges dominate daily headlines. Once the backbone of Israeli power, the Golani Brigade lies decimated, Unit 8200 has been crippled by Hezbollah, and Mossad’s networks have been exposed in 28 countries. Cyber offensives by Resistance hackers have compromised key Israeli systems.

What remains is not the Israel of 2023, but a fractured state staggering under internal and external collapse.
