Hebrew newspaper "Maariv" - General Yitzhak Barik:.
- The state of Israeli society is not limited to division only; Rather, it lives in the midst of a silent civil war. The raging hatred among different sectors, communities and groups has reached temperatures that cannot be extinguished. When national immunity turns to ashes, and the social fabric becomes poisoned, there is no way for a renaissance for this country.
- The engines of growth in Israel are breaking down one after another. Doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs in the advanced technology sector and senior business leaders - who are the elite minds that have carried the economy and the health care system on their shoulders - are packing their bags and leaving. Thus, expertise, knowledge and professional skills accumulated over decades of hard work are lost and leave behind us a void that cannot be filled.
- The erosion has reached the roots; The rule of law and democratic institutions are fading and diminishing, while the public sector is becoming an arena for superficial political appointments, where blind loyalty is preferred over competence and integrity. A country where the law is merely a proposal, and justice is trampled on in public squares, may inevitably descend into chaos.
- Anyone who observes reality with clear vision and open eyes understands that "Israel" is not only going through a "passing storm", but it is sliding towards the abyss, like a shipwreck in a raging sea, on the verge of drowning.
