Former prime minister Ehud Barak says Israel is stronger militarily than Iran, but would have a difficult time defeating the Islamic Republic in a drawn-out war.
Barak tells Channel 12 that Israel’s first prime minister David “Ben-Gurion set clear rules: Israel must not enter all-out war without a superpower at its side; Israel must always seek shorter wars [because] we don’t have the luxury of long wars; Israel must always hold the moral high ground. Those three lessons apply to this day. Netanyahu is ignoring all of them.”
