Erdan slams IDF intelligence chief for ‘outrageous’ comment

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan denounces comments attributed to Military Intelligence chief Herzl Halevi to the effect that the terror wave could escalate in the West Bank if there are no peace talks on the horizon.

The comments from January 24 were reported by Channel 10 on Monday night.

“I sat in on many meetings with him. I never heard him say anything like this,” Erdan tells Army Radio. “If this comment was made in a briefing to military reporters, I think it’s outrageous because we remember the days when there was a diplomatic process and the attacks and terrorism were far more powerful.”
