A former Israeli defense
minister, Ehud Barak, revealed new details to
his biographers about how close Israel came to
striking Iran’s military facilities in 2010, 2011
and 2012 and why it did not despite his and
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s desire to
do so, according to interview excerpts aired on
Israeli television Friday night.
Mr. Barak, who also previously served as
Israel’s prime minister, said that he and Mr.
Netanyahu were ready to attack Iran each year
but that in 2010, the military chief of staff said
Israel lacked the “operational capability”; in
2011, two key ministers waffled at the last
minute; and in 2012, the timing did not work
out because of a joint United States-Israel
military exercise and visit by the American
defense secretary. He noted that the two
ministers who balked in 2011, Moshe Yaalon
and Yuval Steinitz, “are the most militant about
attacking Iran” today.
The interview excerpts were aired by Israel’s
Channel 2, which stressed that Mr. Barak had
sought to prevent them from being broadcast,
but that they had been approved by Israel’s
military censor. Reached late Friday by
telephone, Mr. Barak confirmed that the
recordings were authentic but said he had
provided the information on background to the
authors, Ilan Kfir and Danny Dor, whose book,
“Barak: The Wars of My Life,” came out this
week in Hebrew.
“It was not supposed to be published,” Mr.
Barak said. “I don’t want to comment on it. I
tried to convince them not to broadcast it. But
it’s true, it’s my voice. I don’t deny my voice, it
can be recognized.”
