Shortly after becoming the Mossad Director the Sabra and Shatila massacre occurred . Admoni was criticized by the Kahan Commission for not warning the cabinet before allowing the Gemayel Phalangists into the camps , though no action against him was recommended . During his service as Mossad Director , Admoni watched over the Jonathan Pollard affair , in which it was revealed that Israel ( though not the Mossad directly ) was spying on the United States . He also endured the revelation of Israeli involvement in the Iran – Contra Affair and the public abduction of Mordechai Vanunu , who had revealed secrets of the Israeli nuclear weapons program to the British press . Admoni retired in 1989
