\u201cA storm is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those are the words of Jonathan Pollard, the Israeli-American spy who served 30 years in prison for passing classified U.S. intelligence to Israel.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Pollard claimed that after Iran, Israel must prepare for what he described as the \u201cnext war\u201d, naming both Turkey and Egypt as potential future targets.<\/p>\n

His comments come as regional tensions continue to escalate following the devastation of Gaza, ongoing attacks on Lebanon, and growing friction between Israel and several of its neighbours.<\/p>\n

Pollard, a close ally of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, has also supported calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and has repeatedly advocated hardline expansionist policies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, relations between Israel and Turkey have sharply deteriorated since the genocide in Gaza, despite decades of military, security and trade cooperation. Egypt and Israel, which have maintained a peace treaty since 1979, have also faced increasing tensions amid the ongoing war.<\/p>\n

Swipe through to see what Pollard said and why his comments are raising alarm across the region.<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nJonathan Pollard: I’m not so sure that we will have as easy a time with the Turks, as we’ve had with the Iranians. I’ve been following Turkish military doctrine. <\/p>\n

Martin Buksdorf: The strongest army in the Middle East? <\/p>\n

Jonathan Pollard: The storm is coming. <\/p>\n

Martin Buksdorf: Yeah, of course. And they’re a member of NATO. <\/p>\n

Jonathan Pollard: And even worse, they’re a member of NATO. So I look at Iran as a problem, we absolutely have to finish. And I’ll explain what I mean by that. Gaza same thing, and the Hezbollah. Why am I fixated on this now? Because we have to be prepared for the next war, which will be probably against Turkey and Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
