Former IDF Major General Yitzhak Brick warned Wednesday that Israel is in its worst security situation ever, accusing President Trump of turning Iran into an economic, nuclear, and missile power in the Middle East. Brick said a strategic alliance of Egypt, Turkey, Sudan, and Pakistan could create an existential threat, as the US aligns with Iran at Israel's expense.
Former IDF Major General Yitzhak Brick issued a stark assessment Wednesday morning, stating that Israel faces a security situation more dire than any it has confronted in its history. In remarks published by multiple Israeli outlets, Brick accused President Trump of enabling Iran to become an economic, nuclear, and missile powerhouse in the Middle East.
Brick warned that an emerging strategic alliance involving Egypt, Turkey, Sudan, and Pakistan could create an unprecedented existential threat. He further charged that the United States is shifting toward an alignment with Iran at Israel's expense, saying Israel is losing the US as its primary strategic partner.
The warning adds to a growing chorus of Israeli security and political figures criticizing the direction of US-Iran policy under Trump. As The Zioneer has reported over the past weeks, figures including former prime ministers Ehud Barak and Naftali Bennett, former national security advisor John Bolton, and Senator Jack Reed have all expressed alarm over a potential deal they describe as worse than the 2015 JCPOA.
Brick did not cite specific intelligence or detail the alleged pact. His assessment remains a personal, though high-profile, opinion.
