A security official who held a briefing today (Sunday) with military reporters claims that Iran is taking giant steps towards a nuclear bomb and is only two to three weeks away from that. In addition to this, he clarified that the IDF is in an acute crisis surrounding the legal reform legislation. According to him, the weakening of Israel’s internal cohesion is reflected in a series of processes taking place in the IDF.
According to the source, “The Defense Minister’s position is aligned with the head of the Shin Bet, the Mossad, and the Chief of Staff. The internal situation in Israel has become a major factor for the enemies around. They connect the crisis to a situation where they see Israel collapsing, and this is an opportunity for them, because they see a weakening of support the international that Israel received in the past compared to what it receives today.” The senior official added that the legislation should be stopped until the summer session, a dialogue should be started with an agreement and an end to the demonstrations and protests. “The IDF is fully competent,” he said, “but that’s because of a process of inciting forces.”
According to the security source, the security system is managing the event carefully so as not to set the area on fire. In his understanding, the legislative process has not stopped and it will result in damage to the competence of the IDF, when the crisis will soon enter the ranks of regular and permanent servants. The assessment of the situation is that servants will ask to be released, leave the officers’ course and give up significant service under pressure from their families. According to him, the IDF has already Damage was caused; In some of the units there is no cohesion, there is hostility and this creates an unhealthy reality: “Whoever thinks that the IDF can be detached from the incident is wrong,” he says, “because things get into the units – on land, at sea and in the air.”
As for the security situation, the senior source warns that Iran is running towards a bomb and is only two to three weeks away from that. Along with this, he recognizes a decrease in the degree of deterrence and respect that the United States receives in the world. As the strongest ally of the Americans in the Middle East, the indicators attributed to the United States in the world are also related to Israel. “Iran is two to three weeks away from the first bomb,” he said. “This is a material enriched at the level of 90 percent. In Lebanon, there is an increase in tensions and increased friction, and there is a growing self-confidence of Nasrallah vis-a-vis Israel and a willingness to try to establish a different equation.”
The security factor points to several additional points, such as changes in the enemies’ understanding of the arena. “Over the years, we have encountered occasional conflicts,” he says. “There is now an opportunity identified on the part of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas to take the Palestinian arena and put pressure on Israel from all directions. That is, if we act in Samaria or Jerusalem, it immediately raises the potential to ignite other arenas. The ones behind this are the Iranians. They are waiting for an explosion in order to ignite. They transfer weapons from every possible direction and a lot of money through the networks through which they operate.”
As I recall, last night Defense Minister Yoav Galant stated that “for the sake of Israel’s security, the legislation needs to be stopped”, referring to the reform laws in the judicial system led by the government. His fellow faction members attacked his words and even called on him to resign. On Channel 14, the chairman of the coalition, Ofir Katz, said that “Whoever does not vote for the reform this week (in the Knesset Plenum, NA), has ended his political career in the Likud.” Communications Minister Dr. Shlomo Karai tweeted: “I ask forgiveness from the Likud voters for Our security surrendered under the pressure of the left. The State of Israel is at a historic intersection between democracy and dictatorship and its defense minister chooses a dictatorship and gives a leeway to refusal and a military coup. You don’t cancel the people’s decision for a pat from the media and the elite. It’s not democratic. It must not be allowed!”
