The occupation entity is plunging into economic chaos due to the judicial reforms that are driven by a "war of interests," a senior economist in "Israel" said on Sunday according to Israeli media.

Professor Elise Brezis, a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and head of the Azrieli Center for Economic Policy, added that currently there is a single family in "Israel" deciding what will happen with the reforms, and that it includes "the king, the queen, and the prince."

Because of the policy being pursued, everyone is paying the price, the professor said, warning that "the thing they want is for there to be no trial, because their goal is to remain in power and transfer it from father to son, and there is evidence." 

The situation will end up bad for the entire entity, she stressed, adding that Netanyahu is clearly aware of this and knows very well that every time he spoke to Larry Summers (former US Treasury Secretary), he was told to “stop”, he knows exactly what is happening, but there are interests that must be implemented.

The Israeli professor explained that the situation will be bad for everyone, and Netanyahu is clearly aware of this, as knows so very well.

Brezis pointed out that the very big problem in the economic field is that there is no actual dialogue, confirming that due to this factor, she is sure the entity is heading toward economic chaos.

"I am pessimistic, and I believe in only one thing, which is that we must continue to protest, and this means that we are hurt but we still scream, and on the day we do not scream, this means that we are dead."

She added, "We must continue to protest with the help of the Israeli army so that Netanyahu understands that the policy of the king, queen and prince will not allow him to make us subjects in Israel."
