Good morning to everyone in the world where English is the official language.
Tamir Pardo, a former head of Israel's foreign intelligence agency Mossad, has been harshly critical of Netanyahu.
I strongly support Mr. Tamir Pardo.

Ex-Mossad chief: Netanyahu allies worse than KKK, overhaul is his ‘master plan’
Tamir Pardo claims PM is in control, it’s an ‘urban legend’ he’s under thumb of extremist partners; says potential flight of doctors more worrying than reservist refusals
Former Mossad director Tamir Pardo on Thursday offered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, charging that Netanyahu brought parties worse than the Ku Klux Klan into his government.
In an interview with Kan radio, Pardo said Netanyahu’s government includes “horrible racist parties” that are not far from the world view of the ruling Likud party, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit.
The ex-spy chief claimed that they are even “a lot worse” than the Ku Klux Klan, referencing calls by lawmakers for Israel to destroy the West Bank Palestinian town of Huwara.

“The nation is breaking into two and it doesn’t move [Netanyahu], he doesn’t blink, and a second after the vote finished, the look of happiness on the faces of MKs was a horrible thing in my eyes,” he said, referencing Monday’s Knesset vote approving the “reasonableness law,” which limits judicial review of governmental and ministerial decisions.
The bill was part of the government’s efforts to overhaul the judiciary, which have ignited sustained, mass public protests, and opposition from military personnel, business leaders, foreign allies, and others.
“The leader has lost his mind. Nothing that has happened would have happened if the prime minister didn’t lead this process,” he said, claiming it is an “urban legend” that Netanyahu is being led by extremists in the government.
