Ehud Barak
@barak_ehud · Israeli opposition & former officials
Ehud Barak is a former Prime Minister, a former IDF Chief of Staff, and Israel's most decorated soldier, now a leading voice of the anti-government protest movement.
As someone who previously served as prime minister, defense minister, IDF chief of staff and head of Aman, I state responsibly that the mere ignoring of the warnings is at the very least gross negligence. Concealing the two warnings from all the heads of the security establishment is already criminal negligence. The truth has been exposed, and it deserves to decide the elections.

Translated from Hebrew“Before we had time to understand what was happening, Yair simply charged. That is why he was the first to be hit.” Golan is a brave man. The way the prime minister’s wife treats him is a disgrace. She needs a professional evaluation, and above all, compassion. The person responsible for her being involved in these things is her husband. The full interview on 103 this morning
Translated from HebrewEven the damage Netanyahu has already inflicted on us over the past three years in the security and diplomatic spheres will take a long time to repair. There is no point in adding more and more foolish measures that will come back to us like a boomerang.
Translated from HebrewRegarding Israel’s security, his successors will be better at safeguarding it; their combined security experience, not to mention their judgment and responsibility, far surpasses his. Any thorough handling is best left until after the elections.
Translated from HebrewIn the face of the ‘absolute failure’ to achieve even one of the war’s objectives, and his expected political defeat in about two months, he is no longer occupied with Israel’s security. Rather, with the survival manipulations of a compulsive gambler. His reckless conduct deeply concerns our few allies and friends in the world and the region.
Translated from HebrewTurkey is not Iran or Assad's Syria. There is no strategic problem with Turkey that cannot be resolved, mitigated, or deferred for the long term through discreet contacts coordinated with the United States and its influence in Turkey and Syria. Netanyahu has completely gone off the rails.
Translated from HebrewNot all the details can be discussed. However, Netanyahu's deliberate escalation of tensions with Turkey is reckless and stupid; it is hard to decide which of the two it is more. There is a strong whiff of a political intention to go into the elections with a series of security tensions that stoke anxiety among the public.
Translated from HebrewAs the Democrats’ primaries approach, I call on female and male party members to also support Danny Elgart’s candidacy. An exemplary person, who devoted his life to serving the state, one of the prominent fighters in the struggle to bring the hostages home. Even after the loss he experienced, he fights powerfully for the sanctity of life, morality, and democracy. I believe he will also make a significant contribution in the Knesset
