The former head of Israeli military intelligence, Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, warned Monday that a tidal wave of Islamic violence awaits the Middle East, with the specter of nuclear terrorism on the horizon.
Speaking during a seminar at Tel Aviv University, he said that Iranian calls for Israel's destruction should be taken seriously, in light of Tehran's efforts to develop a nuclear capability. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but Israel and the West believe it seeks to develop an atomic bomb.
"In my opinion, the tsunami of the international jihad lies ahead of us in the Middle East," Zeevi-Farkash said. "Everyone is learning how to make a bomb at home or asking for a fatwa, a religious ruling, on whether it is permissible to drop a nuclear bomb or carry out a suicide attack in a place where there are also Muslims." |
