“So That No One Can Say Later That I Didn’t Say Anything”

“So That No One Can Say Later That I Didn’t Say Anything”

Meir Dagan, the man who until very recently headed Israel's Mossad, now embraces the Saudi peace plan of 2002:
In a forthright contradiction of the position of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that a withdrawal to 1967 borders posed an unacceptable security risk, Mr Dagan said Israel ''must present an initiative to the Palestinians''. ''We must adopt the Saudi initiative,'' Mr Dagan said.
'We have no other way, and not because [the Palestinians] are my top priority, but because I am concerned about Israel's wellbeing and I want to do what I can to ensure Israel's existence. If we don't make proposals and if we don't take the initiative, we will eventually find ourselves in a corner.''
