Former Mossad Chief Warns of a Possible Coup in Israel
16:48 Apr 10, '05 / 1 Nisan 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Retired IDF Major-General Danny Yatom, who also headed the Mossad Intelligence Agency, warned of a possible military coup resulting from increasing loyalty to rabbis over loyalty to the military. Speaking at an event in the Tel Aviv Museum on Friday, the Labor Knesset member warned against the growing calls from prominent rabbis to refuse orders pertaining to the disengagement, coupled with calls to soldiers and officers not to return to their units after Passover. Ayalon explained his fears, that although the religious soldiers serving in the IDF are among the finest in the service, if they are overtaken with messianic fever and shift loyalties to rabbis in place of IDF commanders, a coup may result.
MK Zevulun Orlev (National Religious Party) responded angrily, stating the remarks are nothing less than unjustifiable incitement against the national religious camp which remains loyal to the state and does not require an apology for its position.
