Ex-Mossad chief not sorry for criticizing PM

Ex-Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit is taking no prisoners in his attack on Netanyahu, charging that no one other than the PM is responsible for the failures of the summer war, the Iranian threat and the sour ties with the US.

“After I was labeled a messianic traitor, I will no longer apologize,” he says as a press conference with other former leaders from the security establishment.

“Why did you release 1,200 terrorists [in the Shalit deal] after speaking out against [such deals] for years? Where is the personal security you promised to those living in the Gaza periphery? Why, after dozens of years in the Mossad, in which I was ready to give up my life, have you turned me into a traitor simply because I’m trying to find a solution that will put Israel on a new path?” he charged.
