If he was Mossad or working for them they are really not running a tight ship letting their former prime minister go party with their own blackmail operation. Like they're not gonna tip off their own prominent politicians to stay away from him, that doesn't seem very smart.

Barak was Labor I don't think tho Israeli deep state has fond feelings for him

Really I can't imagine it still, it's not like labor is doing anything fundamentally different than the other parties, I imagine there are plenty of labor party members among whoever represents the Israeli deep state, regardless, it will be extremely embarrassing and probably crater Israeli faith in institutions if it ends up being that an Israeli intelligence operation entrapped their own PM.

Having leverage over the politicians that could act against you is very smart
