Israel: Russia Should Support Our Vital Interests

(Ynet News) Itay Blumenthal - In an interview with the Russian Kommersant daily published Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he expected Russia's "understanding and support of our vital interests in the Middle East. Our relations with Russia are normal and we take into account its interests. We hope it does the same." Lieberman stressed that Israel did not actively seek confrontation with Russia in Syria and harbors no intention of meddling in Syria's internal affairs. Lieberman said Prime Minister Netanyahu's revelations about Iran's secret nuclear archives provided certain proof that the Islamic republic never forsook its ambitions of attaining nuclear weapons. "They simply temporarily halted their program in order to maximize their benefits from the deal. Why does Iran even need enriched uranium when it has huge oil and gas deposits?" Speaking about Iranian leaders' frequent statements about "annihilating the Zionist entity," Lieberman said, "We expect a clear, unequivocal response on the part of Russia to Iran's statements and actions."
