“There is no possibility of defeating Israel militarily,” Gadi Eisenkot, the recently retired chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, told an interviewer on the eve of the Jewish New Year.Trump is still a bit confused after three years on the job.
This is an unusually blunt and optimistic assessment. Israeli politicians customarily frighten the public by citing enemy threats to wipe their country off the map. But Eisenkot is not a politician. He is one of Israel’s most experienced and respected military thinkers. He isn’t afraid of Iran or any combination of enemies. What worries him, instead, is Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. is exploring a “mutual defense pact” with Israel.
