Ex Mossad official rejects Netanyahu's claims

A former Mossad official has questioned the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims that Hamas was behind the kidnapping of three Israeli settlers.

The former MIA division head for the Mossad, Rami Igra was speaking to J-Post Monday.

Igra said any conclusions as to who abducted Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-Ad Shaer and Eyal Yifrach cannot be drawn until clear evidence is presented.

The facts are very simple,” he said by phone. “these kids have gone missing against their free will, but no one has claimed responsibility, and their bodies have not been found."

"There have been no facts presented to the public that they have been abducted by Hamas, so we need the correct information.”

Until such conclusive verification surfaces, Igra said, Netanyahu’s claims have more political than factual undertones.
