Israel’s recently retired former intelligence chief launched a stunning broadside attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak Friday, saying he doesn’t trust their “messianic” leadership and accusing them of promoting a war on Iran that could accelerate, rather than set back, Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon.
“The Israeli public is being spun on Iran, what worries me is that, we are creating a sense that if Israel doesn't act then Iran will get a nuclear bomb,” former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said at the “Majdi Forum” in the central Israeli town of Kfar Saba Friday, according to a translation.
