Israel Is Being Privatized — And Netanyahu Is Being Left Behind | Simon Dixon x Wally Rashid

A pre-recorded interview I did with Wally Rashid on his channel, recorded on 3 September 2026.

In this interview, we dive deep into the geo-financial reality of the Middle East, focusing on a major theme: the privatization of Israel. Israel’s economy is decoupling from its stock market, which remains at all-time highs due to military, tech, and banking stocks.

However, the state is being laden with corporate debt, and state defense companies are preparing for public listings (IPOs) to sell off state assets. In my view, Netanyahu is acting as a puppet to power, serving the interests of major military contractors, global financial investors, and technology companies. At the highest levels of capital, ideology does not drive decision-making—rational self-interest and capital preservation do.

As the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) begins to retreat from the Middle East to find other war zones, Israel is being transitioned from being funded by the Pentagon to being funded by private corporate debt. If power no longer needs Israel as a destabilizing node, the financial markets will force a regime change.

I encourage you to watch both parts of today's broadcast to see how these two pieces fit together.
