israel will cease to exist in four years. israel could cease to exist before 80th anniversary, says ex-premier barak saturday, 07 may 2022  former premier ehud barak has expressed concern about israel's survival, saying the entity will cease to exist before the 80th anniversary of its 1948 establishment. in an interview with hebrew-language newspaper yedioth ahronoth, the former military general turned prime minister, said jews have not ruled for more than 80 years on the trot throughout history, predicting a doom-and-gloom scenario for israel.  throughout the jewish history, the jews did not rule for more than eighty years, except in the two kingdoms of david and the hasmonean dynasty, and in both periods, their disintegration began in the eighth decade, barak said. the 80-year-old former premier said the present israeli regime represents the third experience and is approaching the eighth decade of the entitys existence. barak said he harbors deep fears that the curse of the eighth decade would befall the present israeli regime. he noted that many regimes, including those in the united states, italy, and russia, have experienced the curse of the eighth decade, and that israel is no exception, drawing an analogy between the zionist regime and fascism, nazim and communism. according to barak, the united states witnessed a civil war in the eighties, italy became a fascist country in the eighth decade of its rule, germany became a nazi country in the eighth decade, and this eventually led to its defeat and disintegration and the soviet union also disintegrated in the eighth decade of the communist revolution.
