Former Mossad no. 2 slams Netanyahu’s publicizing of Iran archive
Former Mossad deputy chief Ram Ben Barak, now a candidate for the Yesh Atid party, slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public revelation that Israel had obtained the Iranian nuclear archive.
“This was one of the greatest achievements” of the Mossad, he tells Hadashot television in an interview, “but why publicize it? Why? Why?”
He explains: “Until now, the Iranians knew the material had been taken, but they couldn’t be sure who by. They might have thought it was the Americans, somebody else, Israel. Now they know it’s Israel. They may feel they have to react.”
