A former national security advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, Thursday, "It's impossible not to take seriously," former prime minister Ehud Barak's claims that Netanyahu caused serious harm to Israel's security.
Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, Professor Uzi Arad explained, "Among other things, we're talking about a man who knows a thing [or two] and is qualified." Arad said if the case Barak referred to was something that could teach a lesson, "Please don't sweep it under the carpet and please don't kill the messenger."
