Hidden details revealed about middle-eastern conflict in a new book by the former head of the Mossad

Danny Yatom filled a number of senior, sensitive and classified positions in the security forces. Yatom oversaw operations that were crucial for the State of Israel’s security, and was one of the main partners in the diplomatic negotiations in which Israel participated in the last decades in an effort to achieve peace.

Throughout his career, Yatom met and knew world leaders both in the Arab world and the international community. “The Labyrinth of Power” is a must-read for anyone interested in the middle-eastern conflict and inner insights into Israeli politics.

Major General (Ret.) Danny Yatom was born in Netanya in 1945. In the IDF, he served in the Special Forces and received a Medal of Bravery.
