Joe KentGUEST
Yeah, they're already there.
Joe KentGUEST
So if he thinks that we're still going to have their back, then I think he kind of follows the thinking of David Barnea and of Bibi, where they said, now is the time.
Joe KentGUEST
We've already had a lot of success against Iran's proxies.
Joe KentGUEST
Now we need to go knock out Iran.
John MearsheimerGUEST
Yeah, it's very important to emphasize that it's Benjamin Netanyahu who led President Trump down the Primrose Pass.
John MearsheimerGUEST
Benjamin Netanyahu and David Barnea, who was then the head of Mossad, those were the two individuals who convinced Trump to do this, and it has had disastrous results for him.
John MearsheimerGUEST
But it's very important to distinguish between the initial decision and then how Trump approached the war by June.
John MearsheimerGUEST
The initial decision was based on the assumption that we would win a quick and decisive victory and that the problems that the president now faces would never manifest themselves.

Lawrence WilkersonGUEST
But would that he had listened to that when he was listening to Netanyahu, essentially, if the New York Times article was right.
Lawrence WilkersonGUEST
And people in the intelligence community have more or less confirmed that for me since then.
Lawrence WilkersonGUEST
When David Barnea, then head of Mossad, essentially told Trump what he should do, go to war with Iran.
Lawrence WilkersonGUEST
Others were objecting.
Samuel Ben-OrGUEST
That is what the Mossad has been working on.
Samuel Ben-OrGUEST
It's why they fired David Barnea, because his plan to topple the Iranian regime did not work or hasn't worked yet.
Samuel Ben-OrGUEST
So the U.S. and Israel are pursuing different goals at this point, at least on the face of it.
Samuel Ben-OrGUEST
Of course, there is so much overlap between the entire economic blockade and all of the pressure tactics that the U.S. has been doing to get Iran to make concessions on the nuclear front and steps that would have to be taken likely to collapse the regime.
Dave DeCampHOST
This article is from Middle East Eye.
Dave DeCampHOST
So former Mossad chief David Barnea has said that Israel intentionally released images of their covert operation in Iran during the June 2025 conflict to provoke mass arrests and make it harder for Iranian forces to find real Israeli agents.
Dave DeCampHOST
Um, so he said, uh, quote, one of the reasons we immediately released an official video in the morning of Operation Rising Lion with the Mossad logo was to protect the agents who were there, end quote.
Dave DeCampHOST
So essentially he's saying, well, I'll just go on.
David BennerHOST
The Supreme Leader is gone now.
David BennerHOST
Trump was told this by David Barnea, the head of CIA, or the head of Mossad and Netanyahu, that this would be swimmingly easy, that this would cause a groundswell of support against the regime internally and overthrow the government.
David BennerHOST
No, it actually had a rally around the flag effect.
David BennerHOST
Because Trump betrayed every aspect of morality, foreign assassinations are illegal, the United States has signed treaties saying that, but nonetheless, we'll just follow the Israel lobby into the bowels of hell.
David BennerHOST
He was one of the persuaders to do that.
David BennerHOST
According to the New York Times article, it was also David Barnea.
David BennerHOST
chief of Mossad another individual that would surprise no one if you said he wanted war in Iran and just the calculus here shows more than likely that Israel didn't believe that this was an open and shut door case here too that this would be a cakewalk but what they wanted to do was lure the United States into this war such that we would expend our resources put our servicemen at peril dump billions of dollars into this mad project such that Israel didn't have to do it.
David BennerHOST
Israel didn't have to use IDF forces to do it.
Justin FolkGUEST
He's actually much more warm and personable than you would expect.
Justin FolkGUEST
And I don't know if the former Mossad directors were this way, but David Barnea is actually a very personable guy, a good sense of humor.
Justin FolkGUEST
You actually see that in the film.
Justin FolkGUEST
It comes out.

Eric FrattiniGUEST
Entonces, digamos que lo dejó herido de gravedad, pero no lo mató.
Eric FrattiniGUEST
Pero en el mes de marzo del 2026, hace nada, se llevó a cabo David Barnea, el, el director del Mossad entonces, ordena una operación que se llamó Operación Boda Roja, que los, los fanáticos de Juego de Tronos les sonará por aquel famoso-
Luis UseraHOST

Eric FrattiniGUEST
Un servicio de inteligencia que controla muy bien la región, que es el servicio de inteligencia egipcio de, del Mukhabarat y otro servicio de inteligencia que en las últimas décadas se ha hecho muy poderoso en la región, que es el servicio de inteligencia emiratí, de los Emiratos Árabes.
Eric FrattiniGUEST
Es un servicio de inteligencia que está creciendo brutalmente en influencia y en poder, ¿vale? Que ellos advierten a Israel de que probablemente les viene un ataque.
Eric FrattiniGUEST
Y luego, el director del Mosad en ese momento es David Barnea como director del Mosad.
Eric FrattiniGUEST
David Barnea, ¿cómo hace sus, eh, sus galones para ascender a jefe del Mosad? Él era el jefe de operaciones encubiertas del Shin Bet, del Shabak, en Gaza.
