THE SUNDAY TIMES AND BETRAYAL

Although I am not a subscriber to The Times, it is being reported that Russia has cancelled the delivery of the S-300 to Syria.

Russia has cancelled the deal to sell S-300 missiles to Syria, a senior Russian official tells the British Sunday Times.

The official explained the cancellation was a result of Russia’s concern that the missiles could fall into the wrong hands and be used to attack civilian aircraft at the Ben Gurion airport.

“We are very much concerned about this; the large Russian community in Israel is a major factor in our attitude to Israel, and we will not let this happen,” the official told The Sunday Times.

This report was also carried by The Times of Israel earlier, but they are now reporting that the delivery is still on!

A senior Israeli official on Sunday denied emphatically a report that Jerusalem and Moscow have struck a deal under which Russia would withhold a Syrian-bound shipment of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles. However, the official assessed that Russia would ultimately renege on its agreement with Syria.

According to the piece in the London-based Sunday Times, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu managed, during a meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi earlier this month, to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin of the risk such a deal posed to regional stability and Israeli civilians, leading to the cancellation of the planned sale of six batteries to Bashar Assad’s regime.

Reports of this cancellation have “no basis in reality,” the official said. “It’s a fairy tale. There was no agreement between Putin and Netanyahu.”

I was at first shocked to read that Russia had decided not to deliver the S-300. By all reports it is a devastating system, and some at Veterans Today suggest that the system may already be in Syria and that what was being discussed between Putin and Netanyahu was a more advanced system, the S-400. I had doubts about these initial reports because of the 'promise' that Israel allegedly gave - that it would not attack Syria - was so lame.

ISRAEL DID 9/11!

It was created in terror, through terror for terror!

War and terror are in the DNA of Israel!

There is no way that Israel could make such a promise and keep it.

Israel would have betrayed Russia and attacked Syria.

I see in this report Israel making a proposal, dropping hints (or perhaps threats) that maybe Russian Israelis may not be safe in Israel, either from Israeli-supported Jihadis in Syria or perhaps from someone else...?
