Memoir excerpt recounting 1980s Israeli political succession talks involving Netanyahu, Rabin, and senior generals The passage provides anecdotal recollections of internal discussions about military and political succession in Israel during the 1980s. It mentions high‑profile figures (Netanyahu, Rabin, Shamir, Peres) but offers no concrete allegations, financial details, or actionable leads. The content is largely personal narrative with limited investigative value. Key insights: Author considered leaving the military and was urged to stay by Rabin and senior generals.; A 1986 newspaper story by journalist Hanan Kristal predicted future Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu and the author.; Generals Arik (Arik) and Ezer Weizman discussed potential future appointments as chief of staff.
