There is no peace on the horizon for Israel or for the region, former Mossad director Tamir Pardo said on Sunday, only days after the Trump administration peace summit in Bahrain.

“Are we living in an era that will bring us to peace or thinking of peace? Unfortunately, I don’t think so,” said the former Mossad chief.

Pardo is a critic of the Netanyahu government and has repeatedly declared, including in interviews with The Jerusalem Post, that solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the greatest threat to Israeli security.

However, he also has a reputation for describing ongoing developments on the ground exactly as he sees them regardless of political ideology.

He said that the region has been unstable since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and that anywhere where experts had hoped a year ago that there would be greater stability at this point, it has not gone well.

Pardo said that some had hoped ISIS would disappear once it lost its capitals in Syria and Iraq, but that the group has rallied to continue to pose a variety of threats from the form of an organized clandestine terror group.
