MI chief: Tel Aviv may be target in next war against Israel – Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News.
Speaking during final appearance at weekly cabinet meeting, Amos Yadlin warns Israel not to be misled by relative calm in the Middle East.

Israel should not be misled by a recent lull in regional violence, outgoing Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin said Sunday, adding that Jerusalem’s enemies were continually building up their military power.

Giving farewell remarks during his final cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Yadlin said that “Israel’s deterrence is very strong but the lull shouldn’t mislead anyone, the opposite is true. Our enemies are strengthening and arming.”
Yadlin also warned that a future potential war involving Israel could see fighting “on more than one front ,” adding that “Tel Aviv could also become a front.”
“There is a struggle against Israel’s very existence, against which national awareness and intelligence must be readied,” Yadlin said.
The MI chief, who will be replaced by Brigadier General Aviv Kochavi after concluding his five-year term, also spoke of Iran as the greatest threat facing Israel, “not only in the nuclear respect.”
“Iran is sending its long arms to aid anyone who is working against Israel,” Yadlin said.
His comment came after less than a week after warning Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Iran was busy setting up two new nuclear installations.
Yadlin also told members of that committee that Iran has sufficient enriched uranium to manufacture a single nuclear device and may soon have enough for making another bomb.

FROM WHAT I JUST READ ON THE ISRAELI PAPER AND REPORT I SUBSCRIBE TO HAARETz DAILY NEWS THAT PALESTINIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE REJECTED THE PROPOSAL TO HOLD TALKS AND REACH AGREEMENTS WITH ISRAEL AND THE U.S. AND NOW THE U..S. IS DENYING THAT WE OFFERED THE ISRAELI`S THE F-35 AND TO NOT PRESSURE ISAEL ON THE 1949 AND 1967 BORDER ISSUES. ALSO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITIES WANT EAST JERUSALEM INCLUDED IN THE BUILDING FREEZE TOO. NOW THE OBAMA PLAN AND THE JEWISH STATE ARE TOTALLY AT ODDS AND THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS FAILING FAST. THE ISRAELI`S WILL NO DOUBT FORCE THE OBAMA ADMINISTARTION TO FIGHT IRAN AND SYYRIA OR FACE DEFEAT WITH MASSIVE CASUALTIES OF AMERICAN FORCES AS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO FAIL AT FIGHTING THIS WAR AND TURN IT INTO ANOTHER SOVIET-NAM AND CLAIM A MUSLIM VICTORY FOR THE U.S. AND ISRAEL. THAT IS TOTAL INSANITY.

I WOULD NEVER BLAME GENERAL PAETREAUS OR SECRETARY GAYES FOR THEY HAVE BEEN LED DOWN THIS DEADEND ROAD BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ONLY TO COME TO THE ABRUPT REALITY THAT BETWEEN THE OBAMA WHITEHOUSE AND THE JOHN KERRY SENATORIAL INTELLIGENCE COMMITTY THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VIET-NAM AND AS FAR AS WINNING THIS WAR THESE PROGRESSSIVE DEMOCRATS HAVE JEPORDIZED ANY REAL-TIME CAPACITY OR ADVANTAGE OF EVER FOGHTING THIS WAR. GEORGE SOROS HAS DONEIT AGAIN. HE BETRAYED HIS OWN FAMILY TO THE NAZI`S IN WWII AND NOW HAS BETRAYED THE CHRISTIANS AND THE JEWS TO ISLAM. THE REVENGE OF HITLER IS NOW LOOKING AT US THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DNC. THIS WAR IS LOST ALONG WITH OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR FREEDOMS IF THIS MADNESS CONTINUES. THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR IS TO TRADE NUKES WITH THE TERRORIST JIHAADS AND INNIALATE THEM WITHOUT COMMITING ANY GROUND FORCES. THE ECONOMY IS OWNED BY OUR ENEMIES WITH A SMALL PORTION LWFT IN THE AMERICAN TREASURY WHILE WE BECOME A U.N. TERRITORY. THE LAW OF THE SEA WAS SOLD TO THE U.N. LAST SUMMER
