FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Speaking to Israel’s Army Radio on Saturday, the chairman of the Kadima party backed the remarks made by Yuval Diskin, former director of Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic security service, about Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, saying, “To me, Diskin’s words are a warning sign to be taken seriously,” Ha’aretz reported.
Speaking at a meeting with residents of the Kfar Sava city in central Israel on Friday, Diskin had said the pair were not worthy of leading the regime as they were making decisions “based on messianic feelings,” adding, “My major problem is that I have no faith in the current leadership, which must lead us in an event on the scale of war with Iran or a regional war…I don’t believe in either the prime minister or the defense minister. I don’t believe in a leadership that makes decisions based on messianic feelings.”
Mofaz, a former Israeli defense minister, rejected claims that the comments were made out of “personal, political considerations,” and criticized Netanyahu and Barak for poor leadership, saying that the two were lying to the Israeli public about the possible effectiveness of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Israeli paper said.
He said that he agreed with Diskin’s assertion that the current regime was using the alleged Iranian threat to distract Israelis from other pressing issues, adding that “the threat that Israel will become a bi-national state is far more serious than the Iranian nuclear issue.”
“An early Israeli attack [on Iran], in a period that still has not seen a full international effort, has two dangers. The biggest is a war, and the second is an acceleration of Iran’s nuclear program,” Mofaz added.
Diskin had said that, “They [Netanyahu and Barak] are misleading the public on the Iran issue. They tell the public that if Israel acts, Iran won’t have a nuclear bomb. This is misleading. Actually, many experts say an Israeli attack would accelerate the Iranian nuclear race.”
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program without providing any evidence corroborating such allegations. Washington and Tel Aviv have time and again threatened Tehran with the “option” of a military strike against its civilian nuclear facilities.
Iran argues that, as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has every right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
