Ex-Mossad Chief Adds Support to Criticism of Netanyahu Government | Former Mossad chief Zvi Zamir has come out in defense of fellow former Mossad chief Meir Dagan’s comments last month in which Dagan said a military strike on Iran would be a “stupid idea” that would give Iran “the best possible reason to continue the nuclear program.” A number of government and military officials — including Defense Minister Ehud Barak — criticized Dagan for speaking out, but Zamir said the former Mossad chief “is expressing his distress, and he is not breaking any formal rule.” Despite the public outcry over Dagan’s comments, a growing number of former heads of Israel’s security services are expressing concern over Netanyahu and Barak’s talk of military action against Iran.
