“The thesis of the 'villa in the jungle' that led Israel's national security ethos for the last 30 years is completely broken. The idea that 'I don't belong to the region, there's a jungle around me, I live in a villa, I play football in the Champions League, basketball in the Euroleague, and there's barbarism around me'—that idea has either expired or was never relevant.”

About Yonatan Adiri
Yonatan Adiri, CEO and founder of Healthyio, recently launched a book titled "The Event Is Over," which became a bestseller within days of its publication. At a launch event on May 24, 2026, Adiri discussed the book's themes in a conversation with Assaf Lieberman. Adiri argued that the world is at the end of a "supercycle" that occurs every 30-40 years, during which "economic, governmental, industrial" working assumptions become invalid. He stated that this phenomenon is not limited to Israel, though he applied it to the country's security and governance. Adiri said that Israel's "villa in the jungle" national security ethos is "completely broken," and that the country's "geopolitical posture of the game of nations no longer works." He described a "problem of deep institutional decay" in Israel, citing low certainty of catching criminals and long delays in sentencing as examples. Adiri also noted that the "trust formula" of "just Jewish sovereignty" and the "ethos of Zionism as an MVP" no longer function as they once did.
