Former head of Mossad, "Meir Dagan," declared that "It is inappropriate to resort to military option as a first option against Iran." Dagan's words came during a dialogue at the Center for Strategic Dialogue at Netanya Academic College in the participation of former Shin Bet head Jacob Barry and former Chairman of the national security Uzi Dayan, to discuss Iran's nuclear file and the style of decision-making in "Israel".
Dagan believed that the Iranian challenge is a strategy challenge on "Israel", adding "I have made my mind since and I have no doubt that Iran is the central challenge at the strategic level, in particular that the traditional threats of Egypt and Syria are not at this time a security challenge for "Israel".
Dagan saw that it is a must to put the military option on the table, but not resort to as a first option, "the whole noise being raised about the option of an immediate attack, will push the Iranians to break the rules, instead of being cautious and relatively anticipate the demands of the international community." "Iranian concern will enter the Middle East in a very complex situation and will occure security and economic repercussions on Israel." He concluded.
