The enormous costs of Israel’s multi-front war and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s determination to turn his country into a “super-Sparta” of the Middle East are driving up the defence budget and raising fears of cutbacks in education and healthcare. The total cost of the series of interconnected regional conflicts that began with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 stood at 405 billion shekels ($138bn) as of late April, according to the governor of the Bank of Israel, Amir Yaron. “That’s a huge figure, more than 17 per cent of GDP,” he said during a recent economic conference in Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv. Just the military campaign against Iran, which began with a wave of US-Israeli strikes on February 28, incurred an additional cost of 35bn shekels ($12bn) for the state up until a ceasefire took effect on April 8, according to an initial estimate by the finance ministry. Following the adoption of the 2026 budget in late March, the government noted the defence ministry’s budget had more than doubled since October 2023. To support the war effort, the government borrowed heavily on international markets in 2024 and 2025. It has reached the point where public debt now accounts for more than 69pc of GDP, compared to 60pc before the war, according to the Treasury. Taxes and social security contributions have also increased. ‘Trauma economy’ Israelis are “paying twice” for the war, said Esteban Klor, an economics professor at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. The first cost, he told AFP, is via the decline in government social spending and reduced investment in public services resulting from several successive “across-the-board” budget cuts, even as “we are… increasing the debt”. “Education will suffer, the quality of infrastructure will decline, as will the performance of the healthcare system,” he said. The second cost is to economic growth, though this has been less visible as the Israeli economy quickly overcame the initial shock of the war. GDP had returned to its 2022 level by 2024 and is continuing to grow at an enviable rate. But the ongoing mobilisation of tens of thousands of reservists since October 2023 is also taking a toll. “Since… many of our workers are in the army rather than at their jobs, this affects production,” Klor explained. According to a survey published on June 1 by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) think tank, 31pc of respondents said they had experienced a decline in their wages or income since October 7, 2023. The phenomenon is hitting the self-employed and lowest-income workers the hardest. At the Herzliya conference, the deputy head of budgets at the finance ministry, Tamar Levy-Boneh, warned against a “trauma economy” — in which the sense of shock and failure from October 7 leads the military to constantly demand more funding to ensure the country’s security. “The security establishment must learn to meet its needs in a way that does not undermine the standard of living and must assume its share of responsibility,” Levy-Boneh said. ‘Super-Sparta’ But Netanyahu advocates the opposite view. In September 2025, he said Israel had no choice but to become a “super-Sparta”, a reference to the ancient Greek city-state devoted entirely to war. As divergences emerge between Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump regarding Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon and how to end the war with Iran, the Israeli premier is pushing for greater self-sufficiency. Under his vision, Israel would gradually wean itself off its reliance on the massive military aid it receives from the United States. He confirmed as such on May 3, vowing to invest 350bn shekels over the next decade in the national defence industry to ensure “overwhelming aerial superiority”. Economics professor Klor warned that the defence budget could exceed 10pc of GDP and called for a swift return to a “more reasonable” level. Israel is one of the developed countries where inequality is most glaring, and the dragging war is not helping. According to the latest available study by the Israeli National Insurance Institute, the proportion of children living below the poverty line rose from 27.6pc to 28pc between 2023 and 2024.

North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme is “absolutely non-negotiable”, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un said in a statement carried by state media on Sunday, ahead of a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Pyongyang has long insisted on its right to a nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes although they are forbidden under the terms of UN Security Council sanctions. It enshrined its nuclear status in its constitution in 2023. “Our status as a nuclear power is absolutely non-negotiable,” Kim’s sister Kim Yo Jong said in a statement published by North Korea’s official Rodong Sinmun, adding that the North “will not tolerate any threats”. A key player in the country’s communications and foreign policy, Kim Yo Jong’s statement came on the eve of Xi’s visit to North Korea, scheduled to take place from Monday to Tuesday, according to state media. Beijing is a vital source of political and economic support to North Korea, which is one of the most diplomatically isolated countries in the world and under heavy international sanctions. Xi’s upcoming visit to Pyongyang would be his first in seven years, and comes after he hosted back-to-back summits with US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin last month. Pyongyang has repeatedly declared itself an “irreversible” nuclear state since Kim Jong Un’s 2019 summit with Trump collapsed over the scope of denuclearisation and sanctions relief. North Korea’s leader has since been emboldened by the war in Ukraine, securing critical support from Moscow after sending thousands of troops to fight alongside Russian forces. He inspected a major munitions factory at the weekend and called for it to boost production capacity, according to a separate report by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Sunday. This was “in order to supply enough quantity of missiles”, KCNA quoted him as saying. False information Kim Yo Jong, in her statement, went on to slam Washington over its comments that the goal of North Korea’s denuclearisation had been reaffirmed during last month’s summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing. The White House posted a fact sheet following the summit stating that “President Trump and President Xi confirmed their shared goal to denuclearise North Korea”, which Kim Yo Jong said was false. “Some officials in the United States still have yet to awaken from their escapist and anachronistic dream,” she said. “This is nothing more than Washington’s habitual dissemination of false information.” She rejected Washington’s attempts to deny or challenge the North’s status as a nuclear power, saying it “carries no legal force”. “The policy of continuously strengthening the country’s self-defensive nuclear deterrent, as set out by the nation’s leader, is an irreversible course that must be implemented without fail,” she added. The statement underscores Pyongyang’s “sensitivity” to any suggestion of a US-China agreement on North Korean denuclearisation, Hong Min, an analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP. “Kim’s core message was a categorical rejection of reports of US-China discussions on North Korean denuclearisation as ‘false information’”, he said. It is possible that Pyongyang had “confirmed with Beijing” during the coordination process for the summit that such discussion had not taken place, Hong added.
Tired, emotional and besieged by fans and enemies alike, by 1966 the Fab Four were ready to quit touring for good. A new collection of images by rock photographer Jim Marshall captures their last gigs The Beatles played their last official concert on 29 August 1966, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Jim Marshall’s pictures capture the group at a pivotal moment, when they are already feeling nostalgia for what they are leaving behind. Two months earlier, the Beatles had finished precording Revolver, a glittering collection of pop gems. The next day they boarded a plane to begin a global tour during which they would play nothing from it. They were not being perverse; it was simply that none of the songs lent themselves to live performance. On stage, they were a four-piece band. They could hardly play anything as complex as Eleanor Rigby or Tomorrow Never Knows to tens of thousands of fans. Continue reading...
