Yaalon to CIA Chief: We Will Not Permit Transfer of Weapons to Hizbullah

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon stressed on Thursday that his country will not permit the transfer of weapons" from Syria to Hizbullah.”

Yaalon's statement came during talks he held with Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency John Brennan, who arrived in Israel late on Thursday on a surprise visit to discuss the situation in Syria, an official Israeli source said.

The CIA chief went straight into a meeting in Tel Aviv with Yaalon, the official said.

Private television station Channel 10 said that Yaalon reaffirmed during the talks that Israel "will not permit the transfer of weapons" from Syria to Hizbullah in Lebanon.

Brennan's trip comes two days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin warned against any moves that would further destabilize the situation in Syria.

"In this crucial period it is especially important to avoid any moves that can shake the situation," Putin was quoted as saying by news agencies, days after Israeli forces launched air strikes against regime targets in Syria.

Netanyahu had been expected to warn Putin against delivering advanced S-300 missiles to Syria, which would severely complicate any future air attacks against Assad's regime.

In his public comments, the Israeli premier did not indicate whether he succeeded in convincing Putin to halt arms supplies to Syria or whether the two leaders reached any firm agreements.

They all share the same bed.... By the end of the day, they justify each other's existence... The only losers are the civilians yet they are partially responsible for electing their leadership.

Liechtenstein is not neighbour with the child bombers israel who have comitted every crime there is to comitt since installing themselves in the middle east with britain's bloody help. Hezballah didn't even exist in 1948 yet that didn't stop your filthy newly founded army from comitting various crimes against lebanon, not to mention Palestine which is a story in itself.

Without hezballah, and i am 100 % against their meddling in syria, you thiefs would have stolen our water and the south a long time ago.

Forget your filthy comments about the Jews, but with what is going on in most of the Arab Middle East Countries at the moment it certainly seems as if a Police Force (at the least) is definitely needed.

philippo, you should perhaps take a look at your beloved israel, haredim jews are right now throwing bottles and stones at your police, when they are not fighting your police, they are busy beating up secular girls who arent dressed properly. As an israel-supporter you simply can not talk about whats wrong in the arab world because your beloved child bombing state of israel has plenty of huge problems, including secterian jew-on jew violence, racism against africans, increased poverty, prostitution, rape you name it.

Yaalon also holds the powerful position of chief of domestic animated production for the Disney studios. As such he is responsible for the global crusher hit, Bambi Takes Tokyo, which plunged unexpectedly in Blueray sales last quarter.

I think all syrian weapons are already within the Hiz hand, So stop barging and think about something else, you really think Hizb and the syrian are waiting for the Israeli to come and stop them transferring arms ? and why now ? why not 3 or 4 years ago ? so shut up Yaalon
