The United States might not provide 'Israel' with weapons in any upcoming war, the former chief of the Israeli Military Intelligence (Aman), General Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash, warned on Tuesday, according to Palestinian Ma'an News outlet.

The former intel chief said during a podcast hosted by Israeli news outlet Haaretz that, after military escalations started two weeks ago, he warned against going to a multi-front war.

His comments came in reference to the recent rocket launches from Gaza, South Lebanon, and Syria, which all occurred within just a few days, in response to the continued Israeli aggression on Palestinian worshippers performing Ramadan religious practices in the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.

According to obtained intelligence, Iran, Hezbollah, and the Palestinians are establishing a massive multi-front axis in the region, Ze'evi-Farkash said, stressing that Israeli politicians, including ministers and cabinet members, are oblivious to this information.

"This is one of the few times that we ask the political echelon to beware of a potential big war," he said.

"I can clearly say, based on intelligence information, that the enemies recognize there is a widening rift here. Some of us recognize this," Ze'evi-Farkash added, referring to the internal political and social crises facing the occupation entity.

The General stressed that relations with the US are critical to the entity's national security, warning that these relations are currently at risk due to Netanyahu's judicial reforms.
