By Tova Dvorin, INN – “Top-ranking government officials allotted ten billion shekel ($2.89 billion) to the IDF’s budget in preparation for an armed conflict with Iran, Ha’aretz reported Wednesday.
The report cites ‘senior military officials’ and three unnamed Knesset MKs as stating that the huge sum – the same as in 2013 – has been relegated within the IDF treasury for preparations for an attack on the Islamic Republic in 2014.
The report also interprets statements from IDF representatives and ‘government officials from the political echelon’ as the IDF receiving direct orders from Netanyahu and Ya’alon over the issue.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and IDF Spokesperson’s Office both declined to comment.
While Ya’alon was adamant about the US taking the lead in attacks against Iran in the previous Knesset term, and took up the issue with then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak, he recently criticized the US and the West for remaining complacent about the outcome of ongoing talks.
‘Everyone knows Iran is lying,’ Ya’alon noted. ‘But the pampered West is satisfied with postponing conflict [with Iran over the nuclear program].’ He added that it may be possible to stall Iran ‘until next year – or even after this term – but eventually, it will explode.’” Read more.
Precursor to Armageddon? Hizbullah MP Believes That Syria, Iraq, Iran, And Hizbullah (Lebanon) Will Wipe Out Israel – “Hizbullah MP Brig.-Gen. Walid Sakariya (Ret) – ‘Iran is the country most hostile to Israel, but Iraq serves as a buffer between Iran and the Palestine front – from the days of Saddam Hussein and until the US military presence in Iraq. Iran supports the forces of confrontation: Hamas, Hizbullah, and Syria. If, following the US withdrawal, Iraq becomes a bridge linking Iran to Syria, the Iranian forces could cross Iraq and arrive in Syria, in order to participate in a direct war on the Golan front. In that case, Israel would not be fighting Hizbullah alone. It would be fighting Hizbullah, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. This is the so-called ‘Shiite Crescent’ that they fear. Since Iran dominates this (axis), the Arab countries refer to it as the ‘Shiite Crescent.’ If Hizbullah has 50,000 missiles and can destroy some targets in Israel, the equation will completely change when Syria and Iran join the war.’” Read more.
Flashback: Chewing Quds: Hezbollah Warns lsrael ‘We’re Coming’ As Iran’s New ‘Moderate’ President Calls For Its Removal – “The Lebanese-based terror group Hezbollah hung large banners along the border with Israel in anticipation of al-Quds Day Friday.

Flashback: Why Egyptians Want War With Israel: It’s In The Koran – “Fifty-four per cent of Egyptians want to scrap the Camp David accords that have kept an uneasy peace with Israel since 1979—in yet another blow to the credibility of the many analysts and commentators who assured the American people that the Egyptian uprising heralded the dawn of a new, secular democracy there. A new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center reveals that a significant number of Egyptians manifest a deeply ingrained Islamic antisemitism that leads them to hate Israel—and the Camp David accords—for religious, not political, reasons.” Read more.
