Mossad, Israel Security Agency Heads Say Agreement with Lebanon Hurts Hizbullah
(Jerusalem Post) Mossad Chief David Barnea told Israel's political-security cabinet on Wednesday that anyone who claims that the agreement on the maritime border is an achievement for Hizbullah does not understand the situation in Lebanon. The agreement constitutes a de facto recognition of Israel, something that Hizbullah opposes. Barnea said that Hizbullah began to deal with the issue of the maritime border agreement in a serious way only last May, when it recognized "an opportunity to gain points in public opinion." Israel Security Agency Chief Ronen Bar described the agreement as something that creates a rift between Iran and Hizbullah. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi concurred that the agreement is not good for Hizbullah.
