Israel President Shimon Peres will visit Russia in mid-August at the invitation of Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, the president's office in Jerusalem announced on Friday.
"President Peres will meet President (Dmitry) Medvedev on August 18 at his summer residence on the Black Sea as part of a working visit," a presidential spokeswoman said.
With the visit in mind, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday briefed Peres on talks he had held with Medvedev in Moscow in June, foreign ministry spokesman Tzahi Moshe told AFP.
Lieberman had reiterated at that meeting that he was "not opposed" to Israel's participation in a Middle East conference which Russia wants to stage in Moscow, "on condition that (Palestinian group) Hamas and (Lebanon's) Hezbollah are kept out," Moshe said.
"Israel will not agree to take part in such a conference if Hamas or Hezbollah are represented in a direct or indirect way," he added.
Hamas, which rules the Gaza enclave, and Hezbollah both advocate armed struggle against Israel.
the israelis better bring in the “heavy cash” because if not russia will sell their enemys anything they want.
