退役以色列少将伊扎克·布里克周日警告称，以色列正面临军事、经济和机构层面不可逆转的崩溃，该国已失去国际合法性和盟友，无法承受长期孤立。
Retired Israeli Maj. Gen. Itzhak Brik warned Sunday that Israel is facing an irreversible breakdown across its military, economy and institutions, saying it had lost international legitimacy and allies and could not endure prolonged isolation.
在以色列《马阿里夫报》发表的一篇评论文章中，布里克将该国的困境描述为全面崩溃，而非政治危机。
In an opinion article published by Israel’s Maariv daily, Brik described the country’s predicament as a comprehensive collapse rather than a political crisis.
他将上周二议会选举的结果称为“我们所认识的以色列国的正式死亡证明”，批评电视评论员只关注席位和联合党谈判，而忽视了更深层的问题。
He called the results of last Tuesday’s parliamentary elections “the official death certificate of the State of Israel as we knew it,” criticizing television commentators for focusing on seats and coalition negotiations while overlooking deeper problems.
他写道，他们的报道就像泰坦尼克号沉没前一刻甲板上的乐队演奏。
Their coverage, he wrote, resembled an orchestra playing aboard the Titanic in its final moments.
布里克此前曾指挥军事学院，并担任国防部士兵申诉专员，他表示以色列已成为国际弃儿。
Brik, who formerly commanded military colleges and served as the Ministry of Defense's Ombudsman for Soldiers' Complaints, said Israel had become an international pariah.
“我们失去了合法性和盟友，”他写道，警告称该国无法长期处于完全孤立状态。
“We have lost legitimacy and allies,” he wrote, warning that the country could not remain in complete isolation for long.
他描述以色列地面部队正遭受结构性崩溃和士气崩溃，认为其缺乏抵御来自境内和境外同时威胁的能力。
He described Israel’s ground forces as suffering a structural collapse and a breakdown in morale, arguing that they lacked the capacity to defend the country against simultaneous threats from within and beyond its borders.
他警告称，疲惫不堪的军队将无法阻止大规模入侵，也无法在更广泛的地区战争中保护平民。
An exhausted army would be unable to stop large-scale incursions or protect civilians in a wider regional war, he warned.
布里克还表示，长期战争已使国家债务达到1.4万亿谢克尔（4450亿美元）。他声称，经济制裁、武器限制和日益加剧的金融孤立正在加剧压力。
Brik also said that prolonged warfare had driven the national debt to 1.4 trillion shekels ($445 billion). He alleged that economic sanctions, arms restrictions and growing financial isolation were intensifying the pressure.
他驳斥了总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡利用加密货币应对可能的欧洲制裁的提议，称其天真荒谬，并警告称进一步恶化可能威胁以色列人的储蓄。
He dismissed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal to use cryptocurrencies to counter possible European sanctions as naive and absurd, warning that further deterioration could threaten Israelis’ savings.
谈到国内分歧时，布里克表示，以色列社会正经历一场“沉默的内战”，而不仅仅是两极分化。
Turning to domestic divisions, Brik said Israeli society was experiencing a “silent civil war” rather than polarization alone.
他说，医生、科学家、技术企业家和其他熟练专业人士正在离开，导致数十年积累的专业知识流失。
Doctors, scientists, technology entrepreneurs and other skilled professionals were leaving, he said, draining expertise accumulated over decades.
他指责政治领导层侵蚀法治和公共机构，政治任命和无条件忠诚优先于能力和诚信。
He accused the political leadership of eroding the rule of law and public institutions, with political appointments and unquestioning loyalty taking precedence over competence and integrity.
10月27日的选举使内塔尼亚胡阵营在120席的议会中获得53席，而由亚沙尔党领导人加迪·艾森科特领导的反对派阵营获得48席，阿拉伯党派获得19席。两大阵营均未获得议会多数所需的61席。
The Oct. 27 election left Netanyahu’s bloc with 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset compared with 48 for the opposition bloc led by Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot and 19 for Arab parties. Neither main bloc secured the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority.
