The former head of Israel’s vaunted intelligence agency Mossad said on Sunday that the nuclear deal struck between Iran and the Western powers offers Jerusalem an opening to join “a new Middle Eastern order.”

Shabtai Shavit, who served as Mossad director from 1989 to 1996, told US radio broadcaster Aaron Klein that Israel now has even more impetus to make common cause with Sunni Arab countries who are nervous over the West’s overtures toward their common nemesis - Iran.

“I believe that in the present time there is a widow of opportunity for Israel in order to try and pursue a new order in the Middle East,” Shavit said.
