FORMER MOSSAD CHIEF ADMITS TO AIDING AL-QAEDA MILITANTS
October 19, 2024Did a former Mossad Chief just admit to aiding Al-Qaeda??
Efraim Halevy, a former director of Mossad, admits that they would occasionally help Al-Qaeda for “humanitarian purposes” but then backtracked this statement when it came to Hezbollah fighters.
Hypocrisy caught out.

English Script:
Mehdi Hasan: There have been reports that Israel has been treating wounded Syrian rebel fighters in its hospitals on the border, including fighters from Nusra Front, which is, of course, the al-Qaeda proxy in Syria. Do those reports worry you that Israel’s helping wounded al-Qaeda aligned fighters?
Efraim Halevy: As I said before, in a different context, it’s always useful also to deal with your enemies in a humane way, and I think that when you have people who are wounded and you can deal with them in a humane way, the considerations as to whether to take them in are not simply whether it’s politically useful or whether it’s politically…
Mehdi Hasan: So, it’s purely humanitarian, you say? There’s no tactical or political strategic.
Efraim Halevy: I didn’t say there’s no tactical. I said the main consideration, the immediate consideration, is humane.
Mehdi Hasan: But the tactical issues involved. I mean, you know better than me the phrase blowback. You don’t think there’s going to be blowback against Israel if you get into bed with a group like Nusra Front?
Efraim Halevy: No, I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s going to be blowback.
Mehdi Hasan: Why?
Efraim Halevy: Because I think that unfortunately, the rules of the game in Syria are such, that you can do anything that is not possible to be done anywhere else.
Mehdi Hasan: Yeah. I think people said that in Afghanistan too. Would you also treat Hezbollah fighters?
Efraim Halevy: No.
Mehdi Hasan: Have you not just contradicted what you told me?
Efraim Halevy: No, I would not…
Mehdi Hasan: About humanely treating your enemies?
Efraim Halevy: No, no. I think Hezbollah fighters’ concern, with them we have a different account.
Mehdi Hasan: So, let me be clear. You’re happy to treat al-Qaeda fighters, but not Hezbollah fighters?
Efraim Halevy: We have a different account with Hezbollah, a totally different account, because Hezbollah has carried out the type of actions against us, which would preclude us from going into what the al-Qaeda has done. Al-Qaeda, to the best of my recollection as up to now not attacked Israel.
Mehdi Hasan: But has attacked your number one ally and protector and sponsor you, the United States of America. There was a quote unquote, war on terror been going on for 15 years.
Efraim Halevy: First of all, when it comes to fighting al-Qaeda in intelligence and in other areas, yes, we are together with the United States on all of these things.
Mehdi Hasan: Okay.
Efraim Halevy: But Israel was not specifically targeted by al-Qaeda, and therefore, it’s a different kind of account than we have with Hezbollah.
