Ex-security chiefs to Netanyahu: Accept Iran deal

Multiple Israeli former generals and ex-security chiefs are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, which he strongly opposes.

The former defense officials are signatories to a petition made public Monday, which calls the July 14 accord a “fait accompli.” It urges the government to pursue a policy that would “restore trust and reinforce security and diplomatic cooperation with the American administration.”

Among the signatories are two former Shin Bet chiefs, Ami Ayalon and Carmi Gillon; a former deputy director of Mossad, Amiram Levin; the ex-chief of the Atomic Energy Commission Uzi Eilmann; and dozens of former generals and senior officers.
