An earthquake in the Mossad: the dismissal of two senior officials in the intelligence organization stirs internal turmoil and allegations of an attempt to reshape the war narrative. Sources in the Mossad, quoted in the article, accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of corruption and cowardice, and claim that the operation in Iran did not fail but was canceled due to the decision of US President Donald Trump, and that Netanyahu did not fight against the decision. They criticize a political appointment intended, in their words, to clean up the failure of the political echelon. The article, written by Avi Ashkenazi, paints a picture of a Mossad becoming an asset of 'King Netanyahu' and of Likud, similar to the police, Shin Bet, and IDF. It claims that Erdogan thwarted the operation with a single word, and that Israel is losing its power on the international stage. The author links the dismissals to an attempt to hide the greatest failure since the founding of the state, and warns that with time passing and commanders being replaced, no one will examine the battles. The article is a personal commentary, based on anonymous sources, and does not include an official response from the Mossad or the political echelon.
