Occupied Quds - Saba:
Senior officials in the Zionist Finance Ministry have warned of the financial repercussions of the Zionist enemy army's escalation of its war on the Gaza Strip.
These officials anticipate that the intensification of aggression and the mobilization of tens of thousands of reserve soldiers will impose new financial burdens on the Zionists, pointing to the rising costs of resuming large-scale military operations.
The Zionist newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth quoted unidentified Finance Ministry officials as saying that with the potential cost of returning to war in Gaza exceeding 15.4 billion shekels ($4.1 billion), significant cuts to the budgets of all government ministries may be necessary—severely impacting public services.
A senior Zionist Finance Ministry official expressed frustration over the government’s disregard for the financial consequences of escalating its war on Gaza, telling the newspaper: "The government is not discussing financial losses but rather the objectives of the operation and the elusive defeat of Hamas—something that has not been achieved in 19 months."
He stressed that "the cost of mobilizing tens of thousands of reserve soldiers for extended periods will be exorbitant and will inevitably harm economic growth."
