Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is to hold talks Monday with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon , amid media reports that in the wake of the Beslan tragedy, Israel is to propose unprecedented anti-terrorism security cooperation with Russia, including sharing of sensitive intelligence data.
"I believe we have to draw lessons from this appalling crime," Lavrov said. "Terrorism can be stopped only by uniting efforts of all the states. Russia will fight this evil resolutely and uncompromisingly in the framework of the anti-terrorist coalition. We hope that the solidarity with our country shown by our partners will become a driving force behind the worldwide struggle against this scourge of the 21st century."
Asked whether Russia is continuing the Soviet Union's traditional pro-Arab policy, he responded: "Russia's policy is neither pro-Arab nor pro-Israeli. It is directed at securing Russian national interests. Among those is the maintenance of close, friendly ties both with Arab countries and Israel."

I don't think that Russia would EVER really get into an agreement with Israel. Too big a history of anti-semitism.
Many Russian COMMUNISTS went to Israel when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Thank you rodeo for clarifying the Republican position on Jews.
The duplicity of those sneaky, commie Jew *astards is so quickly forgotton.
Maybe we won't trust you. Many fools from elsewhere have emigrated to Rodeo drive..
You mean you can't critisize Israel without being branded an "anti-semite, or Nazi?" Geesh you're as bad at name-calling as the Lefties are.
I just don't trust countries who cozy up to China. Also I REALLY don't like COMMUNISTS.
"Thank you rodeo for clarifying the Republican position on Jews. "
I don't think this is the republican position..the democrats seem to be a lot worse if you count the far left(which there are plenty)..just a few Pat buchanan types
Indicator positive.

Like...the United States?
Target confirmed. Weapons are free. Weapons are free.
SJackson (and myself for that matter) are members in good standing of the International Zionist Conspiracy (TM) - he was being sarcastic.
As am i -i could tell by your signature but Rodeo,,sorry
I think you meant SJackson, but understood. You've probably got too much blood in your caffeine stream.
No, it's not. It is the position of many "conservative" poseurs, like Pat, which has caused the Republican party for years.
Right, just another Nixon hating leftist.
It wouldn't surprise me that Israel and Russia will be cooperating on security measures. Arab states use Russia for weapons. Not much more.
And what exactly do you mean by this statement?
Tell me, in exact words, just who you would trust?
Joint Israeli know-how, Indian knowledge base and Russian resources WILL give Mudslimes a sleepless night.
Iran better start going back to Zeroasterian path then becoming Lake Persia.
NO, you can't make statements like yours without backing them up.
This is base anti-Arab propaganda. What about the bomb belt and exploding underwear?
