Because of the borders with Lebanon, Gaza, and Jordan… Israel faces challenges with very huge budgets
The cost of creating an obstacle on the Jordanian border alone is estimated at 5 billion shekels, or 1.3 billion dollars, while the southern border with Gaza lacks arrangements to protect the areas near the Strip.
She added that the border with Jordan, the country with which Israel has a peace agreement, is now considered a porous border and easy to cross, especially if it wants to reach the West Bank and harm the settlements.
As for the borders with the West Bank regions, it is expected that they will require rethinking.
In the absence of predictable calm in the West Bank, the Israeli army will depend in the coming year on increased activity in the West Bank.
The Israeli army has allocated 15 billion shekels, or $4 billion, annually for ongoing security, with plans to recruit tens of thousands of reserve soldiers to meet the growing security challenges, amid an ongoing manpower crisis.
On the other hand, Israel is facing increasing costs for treating wounded Israeli soldiers, as the rehabilitation department’s budget is expected to rise from 3 billion shekels, or 800 million dollars, currently to 8 billion, or 2.1 billion dollars, by 2034, with a noticeable increase in post-traumatic stress cases among Soldiers.
