THEY'RE INTERNAL PROBLEMS, NOT EXTERNAL (profanity alert):

A former head of the Mossad who served for two years under Benjamin Netanyahu launched a bitter assault on the prime minister Friday, saying Netanyahu knowingly misled Congress in parts of his speech on Tuesday, while also claiming that the prime minister came close to attacking Iran some four years ago despite the united opposition of the security services.

Dagan, who led the Mossad for over eight years from August 2002, also warned that Netanyahu's policies on the Palestinians risked turning Israel into an apartheid state. [...]

He stressed that it would be "almost impossible for Israel" to live with a nuclear Iran, and that if there was no alternative to military intervention to thwart Iran, "then we'll have to consider it. But I don't think we have reached that moment." He said "there are ways" for Israel to thwart Iran.
