The regime's efforts to alleviate the high cost of living have been overshadowed by external influences, Sami Peretz writes.

The current Israeli regime has not achieved "a single accomplishment to its credit, only a long series of failures and damage inflicted on every possible front", including diplomacy, security, economics, and social policies, Israeli observer Sami Peretz writes in an op-ed for the Israeli daily Haaretz.

Despite efforts to address the high cost of living through reforms aligned with European standards, the regime's actions have been overshadowed by foreign elements, Peretz said

For instance, on the diplomatic front, several EU countries, including Spain, Norway, and Ireland, have recently recognized a Palestinian state. This trend suggests a growing international consensus on Palestinian sovereignty, which represents a massive diplomatic failure for the regime.

Economically, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has imposed a boycott on the export of goods and raw materials to "Israel", while France has canceled "Israel's" participation in a major arms exhibition in Paris. This again reflects international condemnation of "Israel's" genocidal operations in Gaza and could harm "Israel's" arms industry and the overall economy.

In the business sector, companies like Pret a Manger and McDonald's are facing pressure from pro-Palestinian groups, leading to changes in their operations in "Israel." Pret a Manger has pulled out of a franchise agreement with an Israeli retail group, citing the war as a force majeure event that would affect the firm's "ability to execute preliminary actions required to launch activity based on the licensing agreement." While McDonald's has faced boycotts and criticism for its presence in "Israel."

Moreover, "Israel's" high-tech sector, which is a cornerstone of the regime's economy, has experienced a temporary decline in foreign investment due to the war. Many observers suggest this reduction in investment could have long-term implications for "Israel's" economic growth and competitiveness.

The war on Gaza marks a pivotal moment in history as it unveiled the apartheid nature of the Israeli regime. Many world leaders, including the US leadership, are now facing charges of complicity in Israeli war crimes due to financial and military support for the Israeli army. 

On May 31, US President Joe Biden laid out a new proposal that involves releasing Israeli captives in exchange for a ceasefire in Gaza. While continuing to provide arms for the Israelis, he claimed that this was the most effective step toward de-escalating the ongoing war, adding, "With a ceasefire, that aid could be safely and effectively distributed to all who need it."

On June 2, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that any suggestion of "Israel" agreeing to a permanent ceasefire before "the destruction of Hamas' military and governing capabilities" was "a non-starter."

Then on June 3, a senior Hamas official told Al Mayadeen that the movement refused to start from scratch as the Resistance group had already approved of the previous document. The source expressed Hamas' surprise at the US administration's ongoing request, through mediators, for the movement's approval of the recent ceasefire proposal, without prior Israeli approval.

It is important to note that several extremists in Netanyahu's cabinet are threatening to dissolve the government if decides to agree to the terms mentioned in Biden's proposal.
