Excerpt:
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen is fully on board for Netanyahu’s public diplomacy campaign against Iran. The latest series of Mossad achievements has turned Cohen into one of the most familiar and admired intelligence figures in the world. An articulate and charismatic speaker with a mastery of several languages, Cohen provides Netanyahu with a significant boost. He meets often with diplomats and officials in Europe and Asia to illustrate the scope of the Iranian threat. His abilities in this regard are almost as good as Netanyahu’s. Were it not for the law that imposes a three-year “chilling” period on Cohen before he can go into politics after leaving office, he could be marked as a potential successor to the prime minister.
