Responding to a demand that he address concerns that he has political ties with Netanyahu, Mossad chief Yossi Cohen released a statement on Sunday affirming that “there is no and has never been any political relationship between the head of the Mossad and the prime minister or the Likud party.”
Cohen also stated that “all operations” for which he is responsible as Mossad chief “are performed in order to keep the State of Israel and its people safe, regardless of who leads the government.”
