🇮🇱🪖Israel may explode into civil war, CIA fears

The CIA’s Red Cell analytical memo-writing department has studied open-source info and classified intel and concluded that severe, underreported fractures in Israeli society could thrust the nation into a state of internal collapse and “civil conflict.”

The report, ‘Fracture from Within’, was detailed to Drop Site News by two informed sources.
 
Its contents, focused exclusively on animosities between Jewish Israelis, touched on:

🔴 an economic crisis (which Israeli authorities have done their best to cover up) compounded by resources being pumped into wars

🔴 intense anger and social division over ultra-Orthodox men’s exclusion from the draft

🔴 psychologically damaged, armed war vets returning from years of on again-off again service (echoes of post-WWI Germany’s Freikorps)

🔴 savage settler violence in the West Bank

🔴 a broken political system, where parties may face difficulties cobbling together a working coalition after elections

🔴 an erosion of support for Israel abroad, even within the US intelligence community, which is “deeply frustrated” over the resources and political capital spent “propping up” a country “that dragged us into a war we’re losing,” and “spies on us”

🔴 Netanyahu’s readiness to do anything he can to cling to power

🗣“This isn’t a fantastical what if – with the upcoming election and the fissures in Israel we should take seriously their conclusion that Israel is one spark away from real internal conflict,” one of Drop Site’s sources said.
