Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israel Railways is reportedly in a state of severe crisis, with widespread recognition of systemic failures and their high cost, yet operations continue as usual. The company has been without a permanent CEO for over a year, as potential candidates reportedly withdrew after making inquiries. The chairman of the board, described as a Likud appointment, also resigned three months ago.

The company is described as being in dire straits, facing stalled projects, delayed tenders, years-long schedule deficits, billions of shekels in cost overruns, and an operational loss.
