Israel’s Fragile State: Reality Behind the Gaza Peace Plan, Ceasefire & Economy

7. February 2026

In this episode of The Source, supporting editor Zain Raza speaks with economist and author Dr. Shir Hever about Israel’s position after more than two years of war. The conversation begins with Gaza — the humanitarian situation since October 2023, the reality behind the so-called ceasefire, and what Trump’s peace plan has actually changed on the ground.

They then examine key developments shaping Israel’s future, including reports of Israeli-backed militias operating in Rafah, rising tensions with Iran alongside diplomatic signals, and claims of economic recovery following the war. Dr. Hever assesses whether Israel has truly emerged stronger — or whether military, political, and economic fragilities are being masked by official narratives.
