Iran or Egypt
Just a thought I was wondering about..
I am not sure which is the bigger threat right now - Iran with its threats of destroying Israel while it races to make a nuclear bomb or Egypt with its new president who is sending soldiers and tanks and anti-aircraft missiles into Sinai, against the conditions of the peace treaty with Israel.

Iran is the greater threat. Egypt, with its reliance on American aid money and with the army still in a position of power vis a vis the government can be dealt with. Chas v'shalom a war breaks out the Tzahal can smack the Egyptian tanks back to the Canal at which point the war ends. Exactly how does a war with Iran end? How does Israel cow them into an armistice?
Neither. Our own issues are the greatest threat. Be it lack of Shalom Bayis on a personal or national level. Frumkeit trumping Derech Eretz. I'm not saying to pretend that Iran or Egypt are not dangerous. The question is: what is fueling them?
I think the greatest threat to Israel is the do-nothing Prime Minister who doesn't have the cajones to act in Israel's defense. Great speeches. Little action. Except to evacuate more Jews from their homes in a heinous and cruel manner.
