Based on the article “Israel’s Mossad Head Criticizes Netanyahu’s Handling of Security” published in The New York Times on March 17, 2025, and the correction printed on March 20, 2025, Yossi Cohen, the director of Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, publicly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of security issues and other subjects. Cohen said that Netanyahu’s leadership was flawed and that his government’s handling of crises was insufficient. These comments were made in leaked recordings from conversations with a close aide to a former intelligence chief. The Israeli leader fired Mossad’s former lead Shin Bet agent Yoram Cohen as the head of internal security last month. The article is a source for the discussion on the “Israel” tag.
