Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen said in Yasmin Lukach's podcast that "the public is pushing hard. For real change to happen - I need to be prime minister." He added that "I don't see it as politics. It needs to be defined differently. It's a leadership role - not necessarily political. The leadership product I'll try to sell speaks about leadership. When there's an election date - I'll think about whether there's a place to run." He noted that in the past his family had asked him to refrain - and today "my family largely says 'it's your fate, you have no choice.'"
