What was said
""that is when you see something terrifying about Israel. >> Um that is when you see the possibility that Israel could be captured by militias and could disintegrate.""
Simon Sebag Montefiore says Israel is increasingly subject to regional-style pressures and argues that indiscipline and extremist politics could, in a worst case, allow militias to capture the state and lead to fragmentation. He cites as an example his claim that some soldiers sent to discipline West Bank settlers instead prayed with them.
