Israel to provide Russia with intelligence about Syrian opposition
The Middle East Monitor ^ | 10/06/2015

Posted on 10/09/2015 8:17:57 AM PDT by Freelance Warrior

Israel will provide Russia with intelligence information about opposition sites in Syria to facilitate Moscow’s military operations, Channel 2TV has reported. The Israeli network said that a senior delegation of Russian army officials will arrive in Israel on Tuesday to coordinate the military cooperation.

The delegation will be led by First Deputy Chief of General Staff General Nikolai Bogdanovsky, who will meet his Israeli counterpart, Major-General Yair Golan as well as senior officials in Israeli military intelligence, the air force and the Mossad. Channel 2 noted that the visit follows the meeting between Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow three weeks ago.

According to the media report, Israel will submit more requests to the Russians in exchange for “attractive” offers to facilitate the Russian army’s military operations in Syria. It also revealed that Netanyahu and Putin have agreed on several issue in principle, including a Russian pledge to stop the flow of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah, as well as to allow the Israeli air force to carry out operations freely in Syria, even in areas where the Russian army is stationed on the Syrian coast.

Another report by Israel Radio on Sunday claimed that Tel Aviv will provide vital intelligence to the Russians in a bid to reduce Iranian influence in Syria.

Another milestone in the Obama presidency. Israel now considers Russia as a more reliable ally then the USA.

And Jews over here voted for this guy twice. No excuse!

Obama is the worst, I can’t believe Jews backed him in the last election. Romney and Bibi were life long friends.

Jews and Christians who follow almost none of God’s law aren’t Jews and Christians. I wouldn’t slander the Jewish religion by calling liberal Americans with a Jewish ancestry as Jewish.

I wonder now that those on here that disagree with what Russia is doing will feel so now that even Israel knows there is no alternative.

We have lost the middle east because of not obama, but the people who voted him in.

This must have been the kind of world they wanted. And if not obama, they would have voted for the same evil in a candidate.

No worries... This is the first time I’ve seen it, and I suspect ditto for many others as well.

Good info here.

Considering how this demonic regime has treated the Israelis, I'm glad to see it.

Support for Israel isn't the only issue for Jews, any more than it is for any other American voter. So, yeah, there are plenty of reasons -- not excuses, reasons.

Either John McCain or Mitt Romney would have been a better choice than Obama, and that's obvious. It's not a popular view among FINOs, though.

Already verified by Israeli news sources.

Israeli Intel and Russian muscle. That’ll be a potent combination.

You know Israel has an gas field off the shores of Haifa, another oil find in the Mediterranean.

Yesterday I learned they found what might be a real large oil find in the northern Israel southern Golan area.

If so Israel won’t need to take out loans from the USA and buy our lemon the J35 fighter. Israel can develop her own jets or buy them from anyone.

This could be a game changer for Israel to be completely independent.

It is only worth it to get that oil that Israel found if oil was more expensive than it is now. The Saudi price cuts are designed to prevent such oil field exploitations.

So maybe Israel has an incentive to maybe work with Russia to build up oil prices?

Israel’s Hushed Military Ties With Russia Now Paying Off

Israel’s Hushed Military Ties With Russia Now Paying Off

While U.S. gives Russia the cold shoulder in Syria, Kremlin’s ties with Israel grow warm.

Anshel Pfeffer Oct 09, 2015 1:43 AM

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it was refusing to hold “de-confliction” talks with the Russian Defense Ministry to coordinate the two nations’ air-operations over Syria and would make do with just “technical details.” At the same time, de-confliction talks, of the kind the Americans rejected, between the Israel Defense Forces and their Russian counterparts, led by the deputy chiefs of staff of both militaries, were already wrapping up in Tel Aviv’s HaKirya headquarters.

...snip...

Netanyahu knew what Putin needed to hear from him in their meeting last month – a promise that Israel isn’t seeking to actively topple Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. While the Obama administration and its NATO allies are still struggling to grasp what Putin is trying to achieve in Syria, it seems that the Israeli and Russian leaders understand each other’s interests pretty well. It may not be a formal military alliance but in the current situation in the Middle East, it’s quite a lot.
