Security Chiefs apparently didn’t trust the motives of Netanyahu and Ehud Barak in regards to an Iran campaign.

A former Israeli security chief has revealed that he and his colleagues worried constantly over the past four years that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might try to launch a large-scale assault against Iran’s nuclear installations without seeking prior approval from his cabinet—a move that would run counter to longstanding Israeli policy.
