Several interesting points from the Yedioth interview with the departing head of the IDF& #39;s Intelligence Directorate, Brig. Gen. Dror Shalom:
* "It still hasn& #39;t been proven that [the U.S] exiting the nuclear agreement [JCPOA] served Israel... Iran is far from crumbling."

* "It still hasn& #39;t been proven that [the U.S] exiting the nuclear agreement [JCPOA] served Israel... Iran is far from crumbling."
* The US should have striven to amend the JCPOA instead of dismantling it "the nuclear deal with its flaws, it still had a room to impact other issues," whereas abandoning the deal allowed Iran to progress on research & development for a nuclear device.
*On Israel& #39;s current policy in Syria: "We fought to prevent a Hezbollah 2 from emerging in Syria, and we succeeded in that... I observe Iran& #39;s difficulty in operating against us from there, so they are going east and south - to Iraq, Yemen and the sea."
* On Soleimani& #39;s assassination: "Since the assassination, many of Iran& #39;s moves have been halted or slowed down. No one has stepped into his shoes."
* On Iran: "The are somewhat like us. They value life and learning... They have monstrous/stupendous advanced technologies."

* Nasrallah is shaken due to Lebanon& #39;s collapsing economy, concerns with organizational corruption, loss of popularity, failure (thus far) to avenge the death of Hezbollah members killed by Israel. Hezbollah doesn& #39;t want an all-out war, but a limited escalation is now more likely
* The humanitarian situation in Gaza needs to be improved, but kept worse than in the West Bank so that Palestinians there "don& #39;t think Hamas& #39; way is a success."
This is one of the most honest public articulations of Israel& #39;s immoral policy in Gaza that I& #39;ve seen.

* Bolstering the Palestinian Authority is Israel& #39;s interest. "The Middle East today is homeless, jobless & hopeless... The [Arab] cooperation with us is on the surface. Below it, hatred is bubbling against us. We need to know how to improve life for our neighbors."
