Title |
Pulling a Ronald Reagan
| |
Summary |
Ehud Barak, Israel’s minister of defense gaffed earlier this week when comments made by him, about Iran and how if he were Iranian he would “probably” have a nuclear program, made headlines. Barak was later caught stating that his comments were misunderstood, and he did not sympathize with Iran.
| |
Analysis |
For obvious reasons Israel does not want Iran having nuclear weapons, they put Israel at risk. Barak accidentally sounded like he was in favor of the Iranian, and is now doing damage control to make sure his people don’t turn their back on him.
