My Way News - Netanyahu mystery trip sets off flap in Israel
My Way News reports: "According to various accounts, the Israeli prime minister was either pushing the Russians to halt arms sales to Iran, or warning of an impending strike against Iranian nuclear facilities or discussing the recent disappearance of a Russian-crewed freighter. [...] Israel, like the U.S. and much of the international community, believes Iran's program is aimed at developing a nuclear bomb. Iran denies this. Russia, which wields veto power in the U.N. Security Council and has close ties with Iran, could play a crucial role in the debate later this month over imposing additional sanctions on Iran."
Comment: This alleged trip to Russia reveals several things: the seriousness Israeli concerns about Iran's nuclear program; the duplicity of Russia in providing assistance to Iran while being a member of the Security Council that is pressuring Iran to stop; and the weakness of the Netanyahu government, left to sneak around the world instead of commanding the world stage on a matter of planetary security.
