Israeli analysts: We face the risk of losing legitimacy due to our violations in Gaza

Political analysts and former Israeli officials emphasized that the wave of sanctions and boycotts - which Israel is facing due to the war in Gaza - is leading it to become a "delegitimized state." They stated that the judgment of Israel is no longer related to what it says but rather to what it does.

Barak Betash, an international affairs correspondent for i24, mentioned that the European Commission has implemented measures against Israel, which include halting bilateral support from the European Union, except for civil society organizations and the Yad Vashem Foundation.

The European Union has also decided - according to the correspondent - to impose sanctions on extremist ministers and settlers who commit violence, in addition to suspending specific provisions in the trade agreements established between the two parties.

Keren Betzelil, an international affairs correspondent for Channel 12, commented on the European steps by saying, "We will become the modern-day Russia; today there was a discussion in the European Union about imposing actual economic sanctions on all of us."

She added that the sanctions will affect every individual in Israel, will increase the cost of living, and will reduce import operations in Israel, which she said relies on Germany and Italy, and if either one changes its position, Israel will fall under these sanctions.

According to the same correspondent, the boycott of Israel will not be limited to the European singing competition but will extend to sports clubs and other cultural and artistic events, noting that everything is linked to the continuation of the war on Gaza.

In his comment on what was revealed by the Telegraph that starting next year, Israeli officers will not be allowed to study at the Royal College of Defence Studies in London, former Ground Forces Commander Reserve Major General Guy Tsur said, "We are on the verge of becoming an illegitimate state because we are in a situation that many in the world and in Israel do not understand why the war continues."

He added, "It is difficult for me to justify the continuation of the war, and I do not want to weep by using anti-Semitism," calling for an end to the war and reaching an agreement.

For his part, Manuel Trachtenberg, one of the founders of the new Eizenkot party, stated that "Israel is in a silent emergency, not because there are armies crawling towards its borders, but because it has become a pariah state that is currently killing itself," and he called for an end to the war on Gaza to halt the harsh economic measures that are being prepared.
