Former IDF Chief Ashkenazi: Israel Should Strike Iran Only When Sword Is To Throat
Questioned over Prime Minister Netanyahu
and former Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s request for a “P-plus” plan,
reserved for an imminent state of war, Ashkenazi said that the security
cabinet eventually decided not to go ahead with this measure.
“The question then was what was the
correct time to consider the military option, and we made our
recommendations to the cabinet, and my opinion was that we still had
time,” he told Amanpour. “I think the military option is the last
resort,” he said, stressing that all other options must be exhausted.
