"The Israelis in the early years of them forming their state recruited a lot of Nazis from Germany to help build up their weapon systems. So there's a long history of the Israelis setting aside those things."
A New York Times investigation uncovered a multi-year Israeli secret operation to cultivate former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, meeting with him secretly worldwide in an attempt to flip him for regime change. The operation allegedly included bombing his residence to eliminate IRGC captors and smuggling him to a black site, though Ahmadinejad ultimately rejected the scheme.
