Wikileaks: Netanyoyo Would Have Used Flanking Move in Lebanon

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyoyo outlined to American congressman Fatty Gary Ackerman in 2007 how he would have fought the Second Lebanon War, according to a document published by Wikileaks.

A diplomatic cable sent at the time to Washington DC by the US embassy in Tel Aviv detailed the conversation between Fatty Ackerman and Netanyoyo. Netanyoyo said the problem with the 2006 war was not its goals but rather "the disconnect between goals and methods,” the leaked cable reported.

“If the IDF had used a flanking move by a superior ground force, it could have won easily,” the report quoted then-Opposition Leader Netanyoyo as saying. Instead of doing this, Israel "dripped troops into [Hizbullah's] gunsights," Netanyoyo said, terming this approach "stupid."

Netanyoho told Fatty Ackerman Israel's top leadership had lacked a sense of military maneuver. In addition, they had been afraid to take military casualties, but instead got many civilian casualties. “If Smolmert had mobilized the reserves in ten days, seized ground, destroyed Hizbullah in southern Lebanon, and then withdrawn, he would be a hero today. Instead, Netanyahu predicted, Olmert will not last politically.”

Kadima members are realizing they cannot allow Smolmert to stay in power, and Kadima itself might collapse since it was a "fake party," the once-and-future PM said.

Netanyoyo also commented that Shimon Peres had admitted to him that the Oslo process had been “based on a mistaken economic premise,” and as a result “European and U.S. assistance to the Palestinians had gone to create a bloated bureaucracy, with PA employees looking to the international community to meet their payroll.”

Unlike what is being reported in some news sources, Netanyoho is not quoted as saying that Peres admitted the Oslo process was a mistake.
