Yesterday’s Jerusalem Post<\/a> ran a story about a secret visit by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to Russia on Monday.  The trip was kept secret.  According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“According to various new reports on Wednesday, Netanyahu – who was reportedly accompanied by Kalifi and Arad on the reported trip – leased a private jet from Merhav, a <\/em>company<\/em><\/a> owned by Israeli mogul Yossi Maiman, one of the shareholders of Channel 10 and EMG, an Egyptian company supplying gas to the Israel Electric Corp. <\/em><\/p>\n

This was apparently done to make the trip as discrete as possible, since using an Israel Air Force jet – it was apparently thought – would have raised the suspicions of the Israeli media. <\/em><\/p>\n

Maiman was reportedly not directly involved in leasing the jet, as this was done through a company he owns.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The timing of this trip is very interesting.  As is to be expected, there is a lot of speculation as to what was involved in discussions between the Prime Minister and the Russians.  There are currently Russian arms deals to Iran involving anti-aircraft missiles, and we have all heard of the disappearance of the Arctic Sea<\/i> cargo ship – suspected of carrying Russian made S-300 anti-aircraft missiles bound for Iran – that went missing last month.  Once Russian anti-aircraft missiles are in place, attacking Iran’s nuclear sites becomes much more complicated.  <\/p>\n

Any negotiations between Israel and Russia need to be watched carefully–the stability of the Middle East is at stake if Iran goes nuclear and Russia may be helping that occur. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
