brain drain and international sanctions; Israel’s scientific research is on the way to fall – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to Mehr news agency, quoted from RussiaScientific research in the occupied territories has faced an unprecedented crisis and some reports indicate that the Zionist regime is on the verge of scientific collapse. Experts consider this situation to be the result of a combination of international sanctions, reduced investments and the departure of scientific elites.

According to a report by a center named “Israeli Academy of Sciences”, the investment of the Zionist regime in academic research and development has continuously decreased over the past decade; Between 2014 and 2023, these investments have decreased by 4 percent, while the average investment in OECD member countries has increased by 20 percent during the same period.

“David Harry“, the head of this academy, referring to the crisis in the scientific circles of this regime, emphasized that Israel has now become a rejected and isolated institution in the field of scientific research at the international level.

The continuation of the three-year war and the intensification of recent military operations against the Gaza Strip have also fueled the crisis. This situation has caused many international research circles and programs to stop, including the financial support of the “European Horizon” program, and domestic researchers face a lack of financial resources.

The mentioned report also shows that the emigration of scientific elites abroad and the reduction of their participation in international conferences is a serious threat to the future of scientific research in the Zionist regime. At the same time, humanities and social science researchers suffer the most from the limitations of international cooperation.

Experts warn that the continuation of this process without immediate action will have long-term and irreparable consequences and will severely weaken the scientific and international status of the Israeli regime.

This crisis, in addition to domestic consequences, is also a reflection of the international isolation of the Israeli regime due to its policies and actions against the Palestinian people.
