The signatories include former IDF chiefs Ehud Barak, Moshe Ya’alon and Dan Halutz; former Mossad heads Nahum Admoni, Efraim Halevy, Shabtai Shavit, Danny Yatom and Tamir Pardo; former Shin Bet directors Carmi Gillon, Yuval Diskin and Nadav Argaman; several former police commissioners and prison service leaders; and many former military generals.

Former Mossad Chief Calls Netanyahu Voters ‚Mindless‘

A former chief of the Israeli espionage agency Mossad, Shabtai Shavit, called Israeli voters who support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu „mindless people who understand nothing.“

Shavit made the remark in an interview with Israeli daily Maariv, which was published Thursday. He also said that the premier‘s political base is made up of people „whose threshold for normality is at the level of grass.“
