Israel military doesn’t consider Iran the biggest threat
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israel’s military intelligence does not consider Iran the number one threat to the country anymore, media reports said.
Global challenges are the most important threats the country will face in 2023, according to the Hayom newspaper that said Iran is regarded as the second most serious threat.
Iran is not the focal point but a part of an inter-connected puzzle, said the intelligence report cited by the newspaper.
US-China tension is the main dynamic, which is expected to escalate in 2023 that will inform global challenges Israel would have to address, it said.
Furthermore, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the disruption of the global supply chain because of the situation in China are also considered major global challenges.
The report highlighted that skyrocketing food prices have particularly hit Egypt and Jordan hard.
