Israel Faces Unprecedented Danger; Former Mossad Chief Warns

Israel Faces Unprecedented Danger; Former Mossad Chief Warns

Former Mossad director Tamir Pardo speaking with Israel’s Channel 12, Friday, March 10, 2023,

Ex-Mossad Chief Tamir Pardo said this Friday that Israel is experiencing what he called “disastrous” and “unprecedented” danger.

On this Friday and in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12, former head of national intelligence agency of Israel Tamir Pardo rebuked the policies taken by the new far-right government and warned that Israel is currently in a very dangerous situation;

Specifically addressing efforts by the Netanyahu government to limit the authorities of the Supreme Court, Pardo said that “Israel reached a very dangerous situation regarding the internal segregation that happened due to the right-wing plan to weaken the judicial system and turn the country into a dictatorship.”

Ironically referring to Netanyahu’s concerns regarding the threat of a nuclear Iran, Israel’s former intelligence official also said that Israel “does not need a nuclear bomb to be destroyed… our state has decided to experience a self-destruction method.”

Concluding his remarks on the current internal situation of Israel, Pardo criticized the idea that the biggest challenge of Israel comes from outside of the borders and noted that “everyone is following up closely on what is happening with Washington, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas, while this threat is not there. What is happening sends a message of weakness to the world.”

Israel is also losing America’s support

Aside from the internal chaos in Israel that former Mossad Chief Tamir Pardo addressed in his Friday interview, Netanyahu’s government is also losing the longtime support from its number-one ally, the United States. Since the new government in Israel started working, not even a week has gone by without the Biden administration expressing opposition and criticism to the decisions taken by Israel. It was last month in February, for example, that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed Washington’s dismay over recent moves by the Israeli government for expanding West Bank settlements, echoing similar statements by other senior American officials in the weeks before.

Expressing that the Biden administration strongly opposes any unilateral measures by Israel that exacerbate tensions, Jean-Pierre noted that “settlement expansion and construction in the heart of the West Bank, including the legalization of outposts, create facts on the ground that undermine a two-state solution.” A week before, Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s office also issued a statement, noting that Israeli decisions on expanding settlement construction went against longstanding US policy maintained by both Democratic and Republican administrations.

In addition to the many oppositions that the Biden administration has showed against different policies taken by the new government in Israel, the American people are also turning their back on Israel. According to the results of a recent poll, support for the Palestinians is rising and such support is especially strong among young Americans up to the age of 29. While support for Israel is evident among young Republicans, their Democrat contemporaries tend to favor the Palestinians. Opposition to Israel and its “right” to exist in occupied Palestine is also growing in the US society.

Netanyahu slammed almost everyday

Hoping that his coming to power will end endless elections and bring stability to Israel, Netanyahu did a lot to form a government. Yet due controversial and extremist decisions that he and his ministers have taken so far, the 73-year-old Prime Minister is under criticism almost every day.

in one of the latest cases of rebuke against him, Israeli politicians attacked Netanyahu for the surprising Saudi Arabia and Iran rapprochement. Former Defense Minister of Israel Benny Gantz, for instance, criticized Netanyahu this Friday and said in a statement that” the enormous security challenges facing the country are increasing and the prime minister and his cabinet are busy with a coup d’état.”

Likewise, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennet noted that Iran-Saudi decision t restore diplomatic ties is a “resounding failure of the Netanyahu government and stems from a combination of political neglect with the country’s general weakness and internal conflict.”
