The Decline of the Zionist Regime: Internal Rifts and a Crisis of Legitimacy

2025/10/06 | interview, Politics, top news

Online Strategic Council - Interview: The crisis of legitimacy of the Israeli regime, both internationally and domestically, has become one of its main challenges during the two years of relentless crime in Gaza. The Zionist regime, once considered a strategic ally of the West and particularly the United States, has now clearly lost its legitimacy due to committing unprecedented massacres, escalating settlement activities, and racist behavior. This trend has led Arab and Islamic countries, and even some former allies, to view the Zionist regime as the leading cause of regional instability and to level widespread criticism against its policies.

Escalating Internal Rifts
Seyed Reza Sadrolhosseini, a senior expert on West Asian affairs, in an interview with the website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, referring to the recent moves by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, and the reaction of the international community, described the current declining situation of the Israeli regime as unprecedented in the past 75 years and emphasized: “Such a level of internal rifts and tensions at the political, social, and military levels has never been observed in the Zionist regime before.”
According to him, “Severe differences among Zionist groups and parties, as well as between politicians and the military, weakness in managing internal and external crises, and increasing public protests are all signs of the decline of the Zionist regime.”
Sadrolhosseini added: “Nightly demonstrations on Saturdays to stop the war and return Zionist prisoners, decreased purchasing power, rising inflation, and reverse migration of settlers have created a serious crisis in providing manpower for the army. The commander-in-chief of the Israeli regime’s army has admitted that the regime is unable to secure forces along two-thirds of its borders.”

Diplomatic Isolation
This expert also emphasized the increasing global hatred towards the Zionist regime, noting it is evident not only among academic elites but also in various international forums. He said: “The exit of 80% of the United Nations General Assembly members during Netanyahu’s speech and the pressure from countries to expel the Zionist regime’s teams from international competitions are clear examples of the changing global attitude towards this regime.”
According to Sadrolhosseini, “Despite support from the US and some NATO countries, regional and international pressures have weakened Israel’s standing. Regional countries, especially Saudi Arabia, are changing their approach towards Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Hamas, and other resistance groups and are inclined to secure their independence from the Zionist regime.”
Regarding the status of the so-called Abraham Accords, Sadrolhosseini said: “The ambiguity and silence of regional countries regarding this agreement is a sign of diminishing standing and another aspect of the Zionist regime’s crisis of legitimacy.” He added: “Public hatred towards this regime is clearly observable in the media, universities, and academic circles of the region.”
He also referred to the recent agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, describing it as an action that limits the Zionist regime’s ability to advance regional aggressions. He said: “The convergence of regional countries indicates their tendency towards independent and Islamic powers, and the suspension or cancellation of military purchases from the Zionist regime is a sign of the decline of its economic and political influence.”

Internal Pressures on Netanyahu
This West Asia affairs analyst, referring to internal and regional pressures on Netanyahu, stated: “Recent political agreements alone are not capable of ending the political crisis of this regime, and their acceptance depends on the reaction of the people of Gaza and the resistance factions.”
He recalled: “The presence of notorious figures like Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, in the recent plan for administering Gaza, shows that such initiatives have little chance of improving the conditions of the Palestinian people. Even if the Trump plan comes to fruition, the Palestinian people and resistance groups will oppose it.”

Decline of Economic and Military Power
Sadrolhosseini, analyzing the economic and military dimensions, said: “The decrease in investment and the limitations on the armament purchases of the Zionist regime stem from the inefficiency of its domestic production and public opinion pressure. This trend not only reveals the internal weakness of the Zionist regime but has also severely limited its ability to continue regional aggressions.”
He concluded by emphasizing, “Regional equations have changed in such a way that the Israeli regime, despite US support, has been marginalized due to a crisis of legitimacy at the regional and global levels. The standing of this regime in international politics and regional security is weakening day by day. This situation has created opportunities and limitations for regional actors and could lead to a redefinition of the role of independent countries and the resistance in regional equations.”
