Former Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon

Moshe Ya'alon resigned as Israel's Minister of Defence in May 2016 and said that Israel had been taken over by "dangerous and extreme elements".

Moshe Ya'alon served in the Israel Defence Force for 38 years including as Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005. He then entered politics and served as Minister of Defence for three years until his resignation in May 2016. At the time warned that Israel had been taken over by "dangerous and extreme elements." He wants to run for prime minister at Israel's next election and he tells HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur "I found too many politicians generating hatred against someone, against the Arabs, against leftists, against the media, against the Supreme Court, which is a challenge".
