Two recent Israeli Prime Ministers who were negligent with the nation's security met their own demise because of their own dirty tricks that backfired.
Yitzhak Rabin's handpicked head of intelligence ran agents to pretend they were right-wingers and perform despicable acts in front of news cameras to discredit opposition to the Oslo accords. Witnesses reportedly contacted the police prior to his murder to report one of these agents encouraging Yigal Amir to assassinate Rabin.
Ariel Sharon chose a medical team who made bold-faced lies for him for political gain. These deceptions contributed to his negligent care that led to his permanent incapacitation.
Now a third Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert,
nearly met the same fate at the hands of Fatah members, whose members he armed, pardoned and funded:
Some of the five Fatah operatives suspected of plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Olmert were members of the PA security forces and were meant to guard the prime minister's convoy, Channel 2 television quoted Israeli security officials as saying on Sunday.
Their punishment?
Two months in jail:
A group of gunmen affiliated with Fatah attempted to hit Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's convoy as it made its way from Jerusalem to Jericho for a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on August 6, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin told the cabinet ministers Sunday morning....
Following the incident, the Palestinians arrested three suspects, who were later released, according to Israeli officials. Two other cell members are being held in Israel.
On Sunday, Israel filed an official complaint with the Palestinian Authority following the suspects' release.
Who says Israel doesn't take terrorism seriously?
Israeli security sources expressed their anger over the release, which took place "after these terrorists' involvement in the foiled attack was made clear."
The cell included five members who were involved in terror attacks and previous failed attacks in the West Bank. The information was disclosed to the PA, which arrested three of the cell members. The other two were detained by the IDF and the Shin Bet.
Israeli officials claimed Sunday that the PA released the three suspects, whom Israel claims are members of the Palestinian security organizations, on September 26. The three, Ynet was told, admitted to the plot before they were released.
This means they are still carrying guns and receiving paychecks funded by Israel.
