Former Israeli premier Olmert joins Israeli opposition to strike at Iranian nuclear sites

<snip>

"Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has added his voice to a growing chorus of Israeli officials against a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Olmert spoke to Israel’s Channel 10 TV from New York Sunday.

“There is no reason at this time not to talk about a military effort,” he said, “but definitely not to initiate an Israeli military strike.” Olmert was Israel’s prime minister from 2006-2009.

His remarks come after Israel’s former internal security chief, Yuval Diskin, said the government is misleading the public on the level of effectiveness of a military strike.

Meir Dagan, Israel’s ex-Mossad chief, told the station he supported Diskin."
