Minister Benny Begin: Dagan Opposed Bombing Osirak

by Dr. Aaron Lerner

“Among those opposing Operation Opera [AL: bombing Saddam Hussein’s Osirak nuclear reactor] was an important, serious man, who had understanding and knew the secrets. He expressed his opinion clearly before the national leadership. He presented convincing arguments. He relied also on his considerable experience and reputation. His recommendation was considered. His recommendation was rejected. He was the head of the Mossad.” Minister Benny Begin in his 10 June 2011 column in Yediot Ahronot [IMRA translation]
