Ex-PM Barak brushes off concerns for his safety
Former prime minister Ehud Barak dismisses fears for his safety after an Israeli TV report said he met with the head of the Shin Bet security agency amid concerns Iran may try to target prominent Israelis overseas.
In an interview with Hadashot TV news, which first reported the meeting between Barak and Nadav Argaman, the former premier says, “I can’t talk about this issue, I don’t think it is that important.”
“Just as I got by for 76 years I will manage for the next 45 years,” adds Barak, who was also IDF chief of staff and defense minister.
