‘It’s terrible’: Ex-Mossad insider on Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank

‘It’s terrible’: Ex-Mossad insider on Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank

Sima Shine, former head of research and evaluation at Mossad and Iran expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies, says she condemn’s the governments actions in the West Bank.

On part one of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant asks her about the explosive news about Israel’s Operation Puss in Boots, a yearslong, multi-pronged effort to overthrow the Iranian regime and install the most unlikely of candidates, arch Israeli enemy former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. She reveals what led military intelligence to rebel against the plan spearheaded by Netanyahu and Mossad, how it went ahead anyway, and why the Kurdish invasion plan would never have worked.
