Security boss: 'Hamas wants an end to conflict.' Netanyahu: 'Shut up'

From Mondoweiss.

A report in Haaretz on a Cabinet meeting yesterday at which Netanyahu rebuked Shin Bet security service head Yuval Diskin when he started talking about the peace process and Hamas's shifting public stance. The piece hints at a closeted Netanyahu, with a Strangelove aide, Uzi Arad, whispering into his thick ear.

Oh, yes, the lovely Uzi Arad, who can forget him? The man who famously exclaimed “It is territory we want to preserve, but populations we want to rid ourselves of”.
