Report: Saudi intelligence chief meets with Israeli counterpart... and with J Street?
Mujtahid, a whistleblower who is well connected with the inner circles of the Saudi secret service, revealed through his twitter account that Prince Bandar has met his Israeli counterpart and several other high-ranking Israeli officials in Geneva on November 27.
He said that Prince Bandar and Israeli officials have agreed on a number of crucial issues, including “containing Iran by any possible means, exercising stronger control over Syria’s Jihadist forces, sidelining Muslim Brotherhood and stopping the waves of the Arab spring".
Different sources had told FNA in September that Prince Bandar’s envoy had been in Geneva to explore ways of enticing the world powers into war on Syria in a series of meeting with the executive director of a very influential Zionist lobby.
J Street - the main Jewish opponent to sanctions against Iran - is trying to get the US to wage war on Syria? You've got to be smoking something...."The latest meeting between Riyadh al-Tamimi and Jeremy Ben-Ami, the executive of J Street lobby, was held in Geneva on August 20, during which the two sides discussed the latest developments in Syria, ways to strengthen militants fighting against President Bashar al-Assad and proper methods of persuading the US officials to wage a war against Syria," an informed Saudi source present in most of the meetings told FNA in September.
J Street, a US Jewish lobby is widely thought to be American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)’s rival. J Street Director Jeremy Ben-Ami has announced that as a pro-Israel lobby the group works for Israel’s benefit and has underlined its commitment to Israel.And the Iranians are dumb enough to believe that?
The source, who asked to remain unnamed due to the sensitivity of his information, also said that like the Saudi officials, specially Prince Bandar, J Street has made use of all its possibilities and potentials in recent months to coax the US political and military officials into limited military operations against Syria's sensitive and vital regions.I can think of some other reasons that the source might want to remain unnamed....
And from the 'make sure you get this into Google Cache before they can take it down department, the JPost is actually carrying this as a credible story, leaving out the parts about J Street. Of course the Post is using the Sunday Times of London as its 'credible' source....
According to a report in The Sunday Times from last month, Riyadh gave its consent for Israel to use Saudi airspace for a potential attack on Iran.
The Times report came out before the nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers was reached. Both Jerusalem and Riyadh expressed displeasure at the deal being formulated.
The paper quoted a diplomatic source as saying the Saudis were willing to assist an Israeli attack by cooperating on the use of drones, rescue helicopters and tanker planes.
“Once the Geneva agreement is signed, the military option will be back on the table. The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,” the Times quoted the source as saying.If you're dumb enough to use the Sunday Times of London as a credible source on anything having to do with Israel, you deserve what you get. Anyone want to take bets on how long this story stays up at the JPost site?
