Moshe Arens: Failure in Lebanon Worse than Yom Kippur War
Full Text;
Former Defense Minister Prof. Moshe Arens told Voice of Israel government radio Monday morning that the IDF’s failures in the Hizbullah terrorist war this summer were worse than those in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Golda Meir, who was Prime Minister during the war, resigned because of the lack of defense against the Egyptian attack.
Prof. Arens, who served in the Cabinet during the Gulf war in 1991, called on IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz and Defense Minister Amir Peretz to resign following an IDF inquiry report that pointed out miscalculations and mistakes which allowed Hizbullah terrorists to kidnap two IDF soldiers on July 12, at the outset of the war. “Those who initiated and managed the war, Peretz and Halutz, carry the responsibility and are the first who have to leave their posts,” he said.
He added that they will not resign because “they do not have the morality” to do so.
