A former head of the Israeli foreign intelligence service, Mossad, revealed the biggest threat to his country, stressing that it is not the Palestinians or Iran.
Tamir Pardo, former head of Mossad, said in the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth Thursday that the greatest threat to his country is Israel or the Israelis themselves, denying that the Palestinians or Iran are the biggest threat to Israel.
Pardo pointed out that Israel has been a state without a strategy since the June War in 1967, and that no Israeli official can answer a question regarding his vision for the establishment of a state for the Jews 30 years from now.
Pardo emphasized that the system of self-annihilation that is being practiced or increasing in Israel during the past years is the greatest threat to his country, which he likened to the period of the destruction of the Second Temple, which occurred in 516 BC, he said.
The former Mossad chief stated that his country is torn and experiencing a critical and historical period, related to the existence of internal differences that plague every new government, especially since the opposition Likud party led by Benjamin Netanyahu has always refused to recognize the results of the past elections - which brought the "Yamina" party, under which Naftali Bennett took power in the country. , where he always wants to bring down the ruling coalition in Tel Aviv.
Bardo's fears are not the first of their kind. Last May, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak expressed his fears of the imminent demise of Israel before the 80th anniversary of its founding, citing "Jewish history, which states that the Jews have not lived in a state for more than 80 years except in two exceptional periods.
In an article in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Barak said, "Throughout Jewish history, the Jews have not lived in a state for more than 80 years, except in two periods: the period of King David and the Hasmonean period, and both periods were the beginning of its disintegration in the eighth decade."
He added that the current Zionist Zionist state's experience is the third and it is now in its eighth decade, and that he fears that the curse of the eighth decade will descend upon it as it was in its predecessor.
