New Strategic Threat Concerns Israel
The article addresses the deterioration of environmental and climate resources in Israel and their impact on national security. It highlights that a rise in temperatures of 1.4°C and a 25% decrease in rainfall threaten the stability of water and energy sources, with a heavy reliance on three gas platforms that produce 75% of the electricity. The article also warns that water pollution and air pollution caused by wildfires result in health and economic damages, with estimated losses from air pollution reaching approximately 37 billion shekels annually. It emphasizes that weakened environmental infrastructure exposes the occupation to risks of targeting its vital facilities, along with the deterioration of groundwater sources, stressing the need to restore them as a strategic reserve—especially given the increasing risks from climate change, more wildfires, pollution, and threats of oil spills. If preventive measures are not taken, these issues could cost the Israeli economy up to 14% of its gross domestic product by 2050.
