Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein announced on Tuesday that he decided not to open a criminal investigation against former Defense Minister Ehud Barak over him possibly exposing confidential information about a possible Israeli attack on Iran.
Barak, in interviews with the authors of a biography on him, revealed that Israel was ready to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2011, but Ministers Moshe Ya’alon and Yuval Steinitz refused, and the plan was nixed.
