Barak Warns of Iran War

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak warned that Benjamin Netanyahu could drag Israel into a war with Iran, despite there being no intelligence suggesting an immediate attack was necessary. He said the motive was not purely security-related, but a desire to cling to power. Barak said a war could create a state of emergency that would delay the swearing-in of Knesset members, prompt calls for a national unity government, and shift the agenda toward security issues. He warned that a failed attack could strengthen Iran, and called for the decision on confrontation to be left to a new government, which could assess its objectives and chances of success.
