Netanyahu, in his fight for political survival after the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, has shown a willingness to sacrifice even the country’s core principles—and its most vulnerable citizens.

“Every time the deal is near, he adds new preconditions that torpedo the deal,” a former top official for Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, told us recently, referring to Netanyahu.

    So, a former top official for Mossad is accusing Netenyahu of torpedoing the deal because the hostages are dead? I don’t get your reasoning.

      I think whatever Israel did to the Palestinians and whatever Palestine did to the Israelis would be such an issue if it came to light the prisoner swap will never happen, including executing them but still claiming they are alive to save face.

        So you think the former Mossad leader is accusing Netenyahu of executing the prisoners? I still don’t understand what you’re saying about he Mossad’s leader’s accusations against Netenyahu.

          I think the former Mossad leader is unaware of this or in a different department not dealing with the prisoners themselves, and is piecing it together.
