DoorBert (OP) User ID: 857877 United States 08/14/2012 05:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is implied in a secret file recently leaked by a person(s) apparently close to the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman. It contains a record of conversations between Bibi Netanyahu, Avigdor Lieberman and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the latter's recent visit to Israel. Israelis seem to have no doubts about its authenticity. Counterpunch received the original file, and here are the highlights of this conversation (in our translation from Hebrew): Netanyahu asked Putin to facilitate Bashar Assad's departure. “You can appoint his successor, and we shall not object , said the Israeli Prime Minister. “There is one condition – the successor must break with Iran. Putin responded: we have no candidate for Bashar's successor. Do you? No, we don't, replied Netanyahu, but we shall tell you our preference soon. [link to www.israelshamir.net] |
