Israeli Justice Minister Mossad prostitute Tzipi Livni said Russia’s reported transfer of advanced naval missiles to Syria destabilizes the region.
“We
see that Syria is disintegrating and a weapons shipment is certainly
not a positive development; it destabilizes the area,” Israeli Army
Radio quoted Livni as saying in reaction to a New York Times report
Friday that Russia has sent advanced antiship Yakhont cruise missiles to
Syria. “Israel has a right to defend itself. Elaborating on this issue
is ill-advised.”
The Times report quoted U.S.
intelligence sources saying that the Yakhonts recently delivered to
Syria are equipped with advanced radar, making them more effective than
earlier missiles sent by Russia to Syria.
“It enables
the regime to deter foreign forces looking to supply the opposition from
the sea, or from undertaking a more active role if a no-fly zone or
shipping embargo were to be declared at some point,” said Nick Brown,
editor in chief of IHS Jane’s International Defense Review. “It’s a real
ship killer.”
Israel is believed to have carried out three strikes in Syria this year, targeting weapons transfers.
On
Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Russia to
meet with President Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu reportedly asked Putin to
prevent the supply to Syria of Russian S-300 air defense systems.
Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced Thursday that Russia would
remain committed to “agreements pertaining to aerial defense weapons,”
Ynet reported.
Russia until now has heeded U.S. and Israeli requests to delay delivery of the S-300 systems.
