IDF Chief Warns Army May 'Collapse' Amid Troop Shortage

Government-critical narrative

The IDF chief's warning that the army is "on the verge of collapse" is a five-alarm crisis that Netanyahu's government is ignoring for petty political reasons. Exhausted reservists on their sixth and seventh rotations can't sustain a multi-front war, and refusing to draft ultra-Orthodox men is a direct security threat. Protecting draft dodgers while soldiers bleed is a moral failure that puts all of Israel at risk.
