Barak Urges Delaying Possible Iran Action for Newly Elected Leadership

Ehud Barak urged delaying almost any possible action against Iran by several weeks so that newly elected leaders could decide whether to proceed. In a Hebrew-language post on October 25, he argued that, if such a decision proved necessary, it should be made by people who had just received the public’s confidence. Barak also singled out the IDF chief of staff, the air force commander and the head of military intelligence as bearing especially heavy responsibility.
