Turkey, Pakistan could become Israel's new enemy, analyst says

Predictions of who is set to be next in line to become Israel's arch nemesis have start rolling in, with whispers pointing to Pakistan or Turkey as Iran's successors for that role. 

In an opinion piece by Israeli analyst Boaz Golani published in the daily Maariv, he indicates "shifting sands" in the Middle East, as discussions on the end of the war on Iran swirl. 

As Tehran "will be forced to vacate the role of Israel's great enemy", Golani says that there will be a new country to fulfil that role.

"Under Ali Khamenei, Iran has made great efforts over three decades to faithfully fulfil this role," the piece reads, claiming that the latest war on Iran alongside its economic meltdown has rendered its military capabilities "wiped out".
