A high-profile visit to Moscow by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have paid off, as comments from the Kremlin on Friday suggest they will not be delivering an advanced missile defense system to Syria.
The change of heart comes after Russia’s defense ministry announced last month it was planning to send S-300 defense systems to Syria. Israel issued a warning in response that they would not shy away from destroying them if necessary. The Kremlin said that there would be “catastrophic consequences,” should Israel follow through on that threat.
That is all water under the bridge now, following Netanyahu’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, after which a Putin aide casually mentioned that Russia is “not discussing any deliveries of advanced new systems” to Syria.
The widely reported comments from Vladimir Kozhin, which were published in Russia’s Izvetia newspaper, were quickly downplayed by the Kremlin.
“Technologically, it is absolutely incorrect to link this [Kozhin’s words] with Netanyahu’s visit because the interview was given before Netanyahu’s visit,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by TASS as saying.
Amobi Bobby Igwilo who lied to you that Israel is God’s chosen people? Mind you they don’t even believe in Christ.
And if Iran retaliates what would have been the price the world would have paid.
Iran is God fearing
Yes you are right but not only aftab friend
but also your friend too
Russia is mindful of her interests only, if Israel can meet those interests, Iran & Syria will be abandoned
Bello Abdullahi Yes, they forever be God’s chosen people. When your son annoy you, does he stop being your son?
Bello Abdullahi, Yes they are still the choosing people of God. God is a keeper of convenant. He never fails.
Bello Abdullahi who told you God did not destroy that generation that worshipped the golden calf. Non of that generation entered the Promise land except The righteous Joshua and Caleb
You people under rate Iran, Iran has the power to destroy Israel off the world map Iran is playing a mother with its child if you don’t know there’re many Jews in Iran and they’re also indigines of Iran. The question of God chosen people does not arise that was then why did they colaburated with Romans and crucified Jesus? Why did they left the religion that MOSES put them and changed to worshiping a golden calf while Moses was away to speak to God? Are they still
the chosen God people?
US protestant Germans funded Hitler who murdered and dumped Jews in Israel and who still use them as their dogs in middle-east. Like Jesus they hang them but use them as criminals and double agents fighting their own brothers in middle-east who speak their ownlanguage and culture.
Errata: Middle-east became middle-class and middle-distance ….
Chuddy Ubawuchi …who is your God ..u r treating & calling our messenger God
Amobi Bobby Igwilo you are right !
True don’t mess with Israel because Britain US Canada and Australia is backing this tiny state, or this tiny state control these 4 countries.
It’s because God Almighty decreed it
Rule number one, dont mess with israel, ask the egyptians jordanians & fir that mstter the syrians on past results
Anson aftab,your friend Iran will be destroy soon!
It proves that Israel is the ruling state of the world but has not declared itself yet. How a tiny state can make orders or gets what it wants, whether it’s Britain US or Russia all waging their tail for taking next order from Israel, the choosen people.
yes putin a idiot and a dumb azz
Sorry Aftab , no amount of modern Russian war equipments will deter Israel in pursuing it’s securiry national interests . And that is fact .
Russia is not a true friend to Iran or Syria
country versus another country war is good if compares to killing each other inside one country with same race… I think it’s better to start a war as soon as possible
