Northern “Israel” is on the brink of economic collapse… Commercial interests face destruction

Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Commercial interests in northern “Israel” are suffering a severe crisis with the approach of Passover, amid the ongoing war and escalating Hezbollah attacks, as businesses appear unable to conduct their commercial activity normally.

This was confirmed by a report published by the Hebrew newspaper Maariv that the “Purim” holiday period witnessed a near-complete halt to activities, followed by weeks of part-time work, leaving this year’s Passover to arrive amid unprecedented economic pressures.

Business owners are facing a sharp decline in activity, a lack of tourism, and a downturn in local consumption, which has led to a cash flow crunch and threatens many establishments with closure.

Business owners criticize the reliance on compensation criteria based on comparisons to 2025, which wasn’t a normal year due to evacuation cases and disruptions, making compensation unrealistic and increasing the risks of small and medium-sized enterprises collapsing.

Testimonies from company and hotel owners in the region, such as Audi Alali and Amir Miles, reflect the scale of losses and paralysis in commercial and tourist activity, considering the situation as a catastrophe striking the economy of the entire Galilee region.
