Reserve Major General Tamir Hayman, who served as head of Military Intelligence during the war, said Thursday of the emerging agreement: "It would have been better not to start the operation." Hayman's comment, reported by Israeli media, adds a prominent military voice to criticism of the deal.
Reserve Major General Tamir Hayman, who served as head of IDF Military Intelligence during the war, criticized the emerging agreement in remarks reported Thursday. "It would have been better not to start the operation," Hayman said, according to the report. The comment — brief but pointed — comes amid growing criticism of the deal from Israeli right-wing figures. As The Zioneer previously reported, Channel 14 commentator Itamar Fleishman recently compared the US-Iran memorandum of understanding to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling it "worse." Hayman's statement adds a senior former intelligence chief to the chorus of disapproval. The agreement's full terms have not been officially disclosed. The contents of the agreement and the specific operation Hayman referenced remain unspecified in the source material.
