MK says security chiefs should have stopped PM

MK Yaakov Perry of Yesh Atid, formerly the head of the Shin Bet, criticizes the heads of Israel’s intelligence agencies for failing to prevent Netanyahu’s trip to Washington and address to Congress.

He says at least one senior security official tried to stop Netanyahu, but to no avail.

“I regret that in the past security chiefs were able to prevent moves that were not good for Israel, and in this case did not succeed,” he says, according to the Walla news website.
