New Shin Bet Chief’s Controversial Remarks Leaked Again
According too webangah News Agency, Israel’s Channel 12 television unveiled an audio recording of controversial statements by David Zini, Netanyahu’s nominee to head the Shin Bet security service. In the recording, Zini claimed: ”We always have intelligence warnings about evil Muslims’ motivations to slaughter good Jews. This has existed since the birth of [Prophet] Ishmael and will continue.”
Zini further asserted that extensive efforts to quickly repatriate Israeli prisoners are obstructing the path to achieving “Victory phase Two” and eliminating Hamas in Gaza.
Contradicting his earlier statements, Zini explicitly admitted: “We haven’t yet achieved our goals in the Gaza war.If anyone promises you there’s no more threat, test them with a lie detector. Even if all reserve forces deploy along borders, they can’t bring security to Israel.”
The nominee didn’t explain how he speaks of “Victory Phase Two” while acknowledging unfulfilled war objectives after Israel’s prolonged occupation of Gaza prior to last March’s temporary ceasefire – nor did he clarify what constitutes “Victory Phase One.”
Netanyahu’s appointment of Zini has drawn sharp criticism from Zionist regime political officials and senior military officers demanding his resignation.
Former Shin Bet chiefs have called for zini’s removal and appointment of an interim leader for the intelligence service.
Israel’s Channel 13 reported senior military officials stating Zini is unfit for the Shin Bet leadership role and demanding his withdrawal from consideration.
Suspended Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar informed advisors he’ll remain in position due to legal requirements until a replacement is confirmed.
The Zionist regime media quoted former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot calling current Shin Bet leadership appointments “a ridiculous game” amid wartime conditions. Eisenkot urged Zini not accept duty for leading Shin Bet during this period.
