Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak Criticizes Netanyahu's Iran Strategy as Unrealistic
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has criticized current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach to Iran, describing it as unrealistic. In an interview, Barak referred to a meeting between Netanyahu and U.S. President Trump, where Netanyahu reportedly suggested that military action could lead to the collapse of the Iranian regime. Barak dismissed these claims, arguing that such expectations are far from reality. He highlighted that despite some military achievements, key strategic objectives remain unachieved, with Hezbollah and Hamas still posing significant threats. Barak also warned that Israel's military actions in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria are causing diplomatic friction with regional allies like Egypt and Jordan. He expressed concerns about Netanyahu's rhetoric and the potential for election interference, suggesting that Netanyahu might manipulate events to maintain power.
