Former Mossad Chief Denies Israel Faces Existential Threat

Former Mossad head Meir Dagan, in remarks at the launch of a new political reform movement "Yesh Sicui", said he does not believe that Israel faces an existential threat.

Dagan has courted controversy since leaving the Mossad by claiming that Israeli leaders are over-exaggerating the threat Iran poses and accusing them of rushing headlong into a military attack on Iran's nuclear program.
