News Summary:
Former prime minister and chief of staff, Ehud Barak, accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of botching the massive US security aid deal, which Haaretz agreed with, as did Netanyahu’s former security advisor, but the Likud party called Barak ‘pathetic,’ the IDF expressed concerned that an all-out war on several fronts with Israel’s neighbors could result in hundreds of casualties and hundreds of thousands evacuated - making top stories in today's Hebrew newspapers.
Meanwhile, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon admonished Netanyahu calling his 'ethnic cleansing' statement “unacceptable and outrageous,” and that, in fact, the settlements are the major obstacle to peace. And, leaked emails revealed that former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell wrote that Iran would not use nuclear bombs against Israel as "the boys in Tehran know Israel has 200 [nuclear warheads] targeted on Tehran, and we have thousands.”
