A former chief of Israel’s Mossad spy agency is slamming the prime minister’s handling of the Iranian nuclear threat.
Ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious speech to Congress, Meir Dagan says “the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel on the Iranian issue is the prime minister.”
The comments were published Friday in the Yediot Ahronot daily.
Dagan has been a fierce critic of Netanyahu’s approach to Iran, emerging as a key opponent of a potential Israeli military attack against its nuclear facilities. He says Netanyahu’s trip to Washington, over White House objections, is pointless and counterproductive.
Dagan directed the Mossad from 2002 to 2010, a period when it reportedly carried out covert attacks against Iranian nuclear scientists and unleashed cyber-attacks that delayed Iran’s progression toward a bomb.

Dagan has been doing this of and on for six years straight
Dagan is a coffee drinker and a lefties whom would rather see the jewish people and Eratz Yesrael go down the drain just to make the Obama feel good what shame we have on our handed they will do anything to destroy the land of Israel and the jewish people like old times may the lord keep watch and his right hand on the Jewish people and the land of Israel
does he have an alternative?
“does he have an alternative?”
More important is the question of whether Netanyahu has an alternative. Right wingers can scream about Obama all they want but what is their — or Netanyahu’s — Plan B?
So let’s hear. What is the grosser chuchum, Dagan’s eitza?
