’’Israeli’’ Officials Exchange Accusations on Iran
"Israeli" War Minister Ehud Barak harshly condemned on Thursday the former "Israeli" Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, and former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin for downplaying the threat from Iran, saying the three are serving Tehran.
In an interview with "Yisrael Hayom" newspaper, Barak denounced Olmert, Dagan, and Diskin's continued criticisms of him and current PM Benjamin Netanyahu over the Iranian issue.
"Olmert gang is traveling around the world and speaking in a way that is serving Iran," Barak stated.
According to Barak, "Olmert, Dagan, and Diskin are travelling the world and are weakening "Israeli" leaders' accomplishment of turning the Iranian issue into an important and urgent one - not only to Israel but to the world."
"There are some issues which could not be discussed openly without the discussion causing damage to the actual issue," the "Israeli" War minister said.
He also condemned Diskin for his various statements on Iran, saying that "it is not even his field of specialization or his responsibility."
In response, Olmert stressed that "Barak will surely disappear from politics soon."
"The fact is that a former prime minister and three heads of "Israeli" security bodies - that have over the years dealt with the most sensitive matters regarding "Israel's" security - are positive that Barak, who will surely soon disappear from the "Israeli" political map, is leaving behind him great damages that harm the state's security and every "Israeli" citizen must be alarmed," a statement from Olmert's office read.
