Ex-Mossad chief urges end to Iran deal criticism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Israeli Mossad spy chief Meir Dagan says it is time for Israel to stop criticizing the United States over the nuclear deal it and world powers struck with Iran.
Speaking Monday at the International Institute for Counterterrorism’s annual conference in the coastal city of Herzliya, Dagan says: “The problem is Iran, not President Obama.”
Dagan has been a fierce critic of Netanyahu’s hard-line policies regarding Iran. He vocally opposed the prospect of an Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities that Netanyahu is said to have supported.
Dagan says Israel made a “strategic decision” to adopt a policy against the United States and “it is time to end it.”
Dagan is a retired military general who headed Israel’s secretive Mossad agency from 2002-2011.
