Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak warned on Friday against an escalation between Iran and the US and also took advantage of the opportunity to take a jab at Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government.
"The cabinet that convenes and may convene, God forbid, in the event of an escalation in the Iranian sector, with people who were not there, and where there is an inciting prime minister, I fear that," Barak told Channel 12 News in an interview. "While Netanyahu has a natural inclination not to enter into adventures, when he is backed up by Ohana, Regev or Smotrich, I admit that I am troubled. We once heard from Netanyahu what happens to a prime minister who has to run a state, what considerations are taken into account when he is under investigations. When his advisers are Smotrich and Peretz, I'm not calm."
