Ya'alon: Israel facing 'internal threat'

Ya'alon, who served thirty-seven years in the Israel Defence (War) Forces, rising to the position of chief of the general staff, posted on Twitter: "I do not think that there are external existential threats to Israel. We must understand that the current existential threat is not external, but internal."

He added: "The existential threat is represented in incitement, division, deception culture and corruption."

The former official stressed: "This issue is left for us… It is our responsibility."
