Retired Brigadier General Oren Solomon, former combat commander in the Gaza Division, has issued a stark warning that Israel's enemies may attempt to initiate war or carry out attacks during the formation of the next government. He specifically highlighted the potential for increased threats if the upcoming government is right-wing, describing this as a "likely scenario" that the system should prepare for.
Solomon explained that just as Israeli citizens are anxiously awaiting election results, so too are Israel's adversaries and neighboring countries. He noted that enemy intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the political situation in Israel, analyzing potential candidates, government composition, and identifying pressure points. These efforts, he stated, include political pressure, influence campaigns, and security challenges.
He anticipates potential actions from Iran, Hamas, or elements in the West Bank during the government's formation period. Regarding the West Bank, Solomon criticized the current approach, arguing that the next government must implement a fundamental strategic change in how the region is managed, moving beyond the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority, and armed groups.
Solomon revealed he is part of a team developing a position paper for the first 100 days of the next government, aiming to propose a different strategic and operational direction to address the root causes of the problems. He also touched upon internal challenges, specifically mentioning Arab citizens of Israel, and pointed to "Islamist elements" that pose challenges, noting reports of potential military organization among them. He concluded that the issues of governance and internal security are significant challenges that must be confronted.
