me i have roughly a ton a former agent of the israeli secret service the mossad and the chairman of the national council for jewish restitution misstate and thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. earlier this year you said that in principle when there is a war on terror you conducted without principles you simply fighters in light of this how do you assess the current defense strategy of the american president barack obama when obama failed from the very beginning that he could conquer. by dialogue let's say hand easy able to. wean iran by dialogue i say no they are running in a cheating game all the time now we's facing in and understanding iran

if they're pushing their war pushing or with hizbullah pushing there or with hamas pushing fail in iraq the shia in iraq is in practice today. in the end of the iranian i would say that we are facing. when the americans will leave iraq we are facing that iran through the shia of iraq will win maybe we will dominate at least part of iraq some people say that today there is some. agreement between iran interrogate the turkish we don't mean that they know then the part of iraq. including the colds and the

iranian the south part of iraq included back that what do you think should be done with iran you were involved in the israeli operation to take out the iraqi nuclear reactor in one thousand nine hundred one do you think that a similar operation is feasible in iran today the situation today and this is regime even five years ago was completely different because iran from the very beginning developed few sites let's say more or less fifteen or twenty sites and not one side and from the very beginning they defended themselves in a way the one strike it's not enough so in practice the their way that was done. and he knows

iraq twenty years ago twenty five years ago. is no valid today and the only way is the. first political way and second sanctions way sanction way if it's done correctly if everybody is taking part. including russia i states including russia including china if that's will happen iran will give up one of the former israeli prime ministers menachem begin appointed you as a top adviser on counterterrorism team think that is well don't sufficiently well enough with the problem of terror particularly in the years after the interval and look we had there been any failures let's start from this with many failures but we had also success today. look today.

the hamas from gaza in practice stopped most of the divinity a jew then some maria. our security is strong and therefore no tel or activity in practice and the bottom line we won can these measures continue indefinitely no no impossible we have to find a practical solution and to my opinion the. the palestinian authority of today is not able to sign with us a real agreement they are not able because of the hamas and because of the pushing of the iranian we must to my opinion to go to

some one sided solution to go we did one sided solution to go to the americans to agree with the american the borders of their one sided solution. to try to coordinate it with the palestinian authority but to move and to do it you let the team that captured and of i when what was the most difficult part of this operation well it was not difficult it was easy of preparation. it's a fact of life. i have done much more complicated or variations at the time that was the possibility to also capture the auschwitz doctor dr joseph mengele but you personally witold against airing this is this now a decision you request no i don't regret because that was the. operational

consideration i thought that we had. in our hands and if we are going to do another. project at the same time when then at the end danger we risk the first operation so i say look we should finish first the first operation and then we should go to the second one but was there playing bang go your own decided that. for him he didn't want revenge for him it was enough the iceman who was at the egg of the whole cast. would be before trial and on the air we brought iceland on the twenty first of. may nine hundred sixty two

israel and on the twenty third been growing and now sitting in the knesset ok and therefore it was well known all over the world and when we came to mingle apartment it was one of their anymore one of the caption i mean for the state of israel you see the holocaust survivors the right to israel they did talk and when i smile on trial. it was on the air and every every evening you heard from the news what happened in the trial and the news were full of stories so their heart was open and they started talking they started how could. they say them saying live again they were not

ashamed that they were so violent i have two days after the trial many of them were ashamed that they will survive and others were killed what did it mean for you to be involved in a separation when i should one was with his head on my knees and the i. put my. fingers on his belly and i felt the scowl that a new for me the. files the skull should be there and when i felt the scar i will show that the man that we capture really was i man before that we will show ninety nine percent. now i will

show hundred percent so i shook the hand of mr martin who was sitting. beside of me and the legs of vitamin was only his knees and then. i saying to myself the partisans on the path isn't a song that was composed in the russian partisans the jewish russian plant isn't that say we shall see you again and we shall be here again you were involved in less than the unit involved in spying on the united states what we sense today is we'll have to spy on americans you know. i in these. we have. a. journalist and paula who is sitting in jail.

i wouldn't like to talk about it because anything that i say my. not helping so so far as the jail it's very i don't talk there are allegations that in the seventy's as well try to sell nuclear technology to south africa do you think that there's any truth in these allegations so far is a no is never sold no clear knowledge to south africa recently the mossad was back in the headlines with allegations of falsifying passports and by do you think that the organization is still the same organization it was when you were involved. look. about dubai know what you know that mean from the news by their ability for

agents to communicate with their. headquarters is much much better today today you could. by e-mail say in the anywhere in the world in a very quick time and if you do it wisely nobody could know about it so times technology changes mr raffi a ton thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you.
