Israeli General Warns of Jordan Border Threat

Brigadier Isshak Breik, a reserve officer in the Israeli Defense Forces, warned of the deteriorating situation along the border with Jordan, considering it to be one of the most dangerous threats to Israeli national security due to neglect and denial. He explained that the approximately 300-kilometer-long border faces serious threats, including arms smuggling, explosive materials, and the infiltration of tens of thousands of migrant workers working in Eilat. He also confirmed that Israel has lost control over this border, with military cells supported by Iran and Gulf countries forming within Jordanian territory, possibly awaiting orders to cross and seize neighboring areas, thereby further threatening regional security. Breik cautioned that continued neglect could lead to catastrophic consequences and emphasized the need to strengthen military deployment for protection. During his speech, he highlighted that reductions in ground forces, relaxation of border security measures, and the absence of permanent armored units expose the city and border regions to danger, warning against repeating past scenarios without adequate preparedness. These warnings come amid increasing security challenges along the border and a lack of sufficient measures to confront them, especially in light of what Breik described as a psychological and national crisis resulting from officials' neglect, which endangers Israeli security.
