Former Mossad chief slams Barak, Ashkenazi on appointments issue
None
Former Mossad director Shabtai Shavit slammed Defense Minister Ehud Barak and IDF Chief Gabi Ashkenazi Sunday on the matter of IDF and Mossad appointments during a conference on the global war on terror in the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya.
Shavit was angered at the possibility that one of the major-generals who lost the race for the IDF chief post would be appointed as Mossad director. "Turning the Mossad director into a consolation prize is utter disrespect," he said. (Yoav Zitun)
