Russian plans to go ahead with the delivery of P-800 anti-ship missiles to Syria is “problematic” for Israel, PM tells cabinet.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted on Sunday that despite intensive diplomacy, Israel had failed to dissuade Russia from selling advanced missiles to Syria.

Speaking at Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu told ministers that Russian plans to go ahead with the delivery of P-800 anti-ship missiles to Syria was “problematic” for Israel.

“We have been aware of this deal for some time and there were discussions with the Russians at every level,” Netanyahu said.

Syria signed a deal to buy the P-800 Yakhont supersonic cruise missiles from Russia in 2007. Israel says the weapons pose significant danger to its naval vessels in the Mediterranean and could upset the strategic balance in the region.

“To our regret, the deal is now proceeding in stages and that is problematic for us,” Netanyahu said, adding that the Syrian missiles were part of the reason behind Israel’s recent decision to upgrade its air force with new American F-35 warplanes.

“We are dealing with a new arsenal of missiles and rockets and there has to be a military response to that,” he said.

  2. He is a liar, this is a giant scam on the people of he world. All the leaders of both sides of this supposed false flag conflict for world war to line the pockets of the bankers once again, are in on the scam too. I have some videos up on my blog which shows all three presidents of Chine, USA, and russia all dressed in the same satanic robes with symbols on them showing they all belong to the same satanic secret societies.

    They have planned this for ages, they have even picked and prepared in advance for who the designated winner and loser will be and they are all in on it. The USA is one of the designated losers, as evidenced by the massive destruction by the zionists occupying our military DOD of our military equipment and soldiers and thus our readiness to meet such a war head on.

    Well, they forgot something, the people. So the next thing to fix would be the “people”, a good false flag will kill off enough of us to reduce that risk and then a good bioweapon will seal it, and only then can they ensure we will lose it. Yeah, well, bring it on you sick mothers.

    This is a death penalty offense, do you hear that resistance leaders??? A death penalty offense and we know who they are and pictures are easy to obtain. Since when do we allow international bankers to control our war machine and decide if and when to go to war and whether we should win or lose that war?

    They did the same thing to Hitler cause they hated Germany.
