Former Shin Bet Director Critical of Ceasefire Agreement

Wednesday, August 27th, 2014) Former ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) Director Yuval Diskin told the press that citizens of Israel are entitled to the details of the ceasefire agreed to by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The former senior security official expressed criticism over the prime minister’s conduct, his decision to agree to the ceasefire without bringing it to his cabinet ministers for a vote. Leaders and residents of Gaza border communities and other southern municipalities feel betrayed by the prime minister. Some question why 64 military personnel and 6 civilians had to be killed when in the end the prime minister sold out the nation’s security interests.


 In the Eshkol Regional Council, which represents a number of Gaza border communities, leaders are instructing residents not to return home, skeptical at best regarding the integrity of the ceasefire agreement. The head of the neighboring S’dot Negev Regional Council called the ceasefire “acquiescing to terror”, decrying the decision to trust a Hamas ceasefire once again.
