The Zioneer reports that MK Ram Ben Barak, a former deputy head of the Mossad, said a prime minister once assigned the intelligence agency a 'most problematic' mission that was initially refused by the agency until government approval was obtained. Barak did not specify the prime minister, the mission, or the time period.
MK Ram Ben Barak (National Unity), a former deputy head of the Mossad, made the remarks in a preview of the 'Political Kitchen' program on Knesset Channel 99, scheduled to air at 16:00 Jerusalem time. The full context of the revelation is expected to be discussed during the broadcast. The claim is unverified, and Barak did not name the prime minister or provide details of the mission.
