Avi Dichter
Avi Dichter was head of the Israel's internal security service before entering politics. Now a parliamentary ally of prime minister Netanyahu, how does he see his country's future?
Stephen Sackur speaks to Avi Dichter, Chair of Israel's Foreign Affairs & Defence Committee. Think of Israel's turbulent history since the 67 war and you think first of the political leaders, Golda, Begin, Rabin, Peres and now Netanyahu. Other crucial figures in Israel's story spent more time in the shadows, like my guest today. Avi Dichter was head of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service for five years; only later did he enter politics, as a minister, and now a parliamentary ally of prime minister Netanyahu. How does this gatekeeper of Israel's security see his country's future?
