Israel Undergoes Political Implosion, Palestinian Economy Collapses
On April 6, 2026, analyst Dan Steinbock and the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS) argue that Israel is undergoing political erosion—marked by judicial overhaul, capital flight, and high-tech brain drain—while Palestinian institutions face engineered fiscal collapse. MAS projects a 2026 Palestinian Authority deficit of ILS 11.9 billion, tied to withheld clearance revenues, rising energy costs above $120 per barrel, and regional conflict.
