Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard suggests Egypt and Turkey are next targets for war

Israeli-American spy Jonathan Pollard has suggested Israel may attack Egypt and Turkey in the near future.

Speaking on a podcast for news outlet Arutz Sheva, Pollard suggested Israel would need to prepare for further wars in the Middle East, after Iran.

"I'm not so sure that we will have as easy a time with the Turks as we've had with the Iranians," he said.

"We have to be prepared for the next war, which will probably be against Turkey and Egypt. The storm is coming."

He also warned against Israel allowing the Turkish-backed transitional government in Syria to reclaim areas in the south that are occupied by Israeli forces, saying it would effectively leave Israel with the "Turks on our border".

Pollard spent 30 years in prison for selling US secrets to Israel in 1984, and left the US for Israel after his release in 2015.

Since moving to Israel and acquiring citizenship, Pollard has been a supporter and friend of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and has backed calls for the ethnic cleansing of occupied Palestine.
