 He (Medvedev) said Israel is not going to deliver any blows on Iran, as he was assured by Israeli President Shimon Peres during their recent meeting.
| A question, and remember, death is not an option: whose lips are most likely to fall off, Medvedev or Peres? Discuss. |
Medvedev said when he met Peres in Sochi last month, the Israeli president said "Israel does not intend to launch any strikes on Iran, we are a peaceful country and we will not do this."
Medvedev also confirmed a secret visit "in a close regime" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Moscow earlier this month, whom he had conversation with, according to a transcript of the interview published by the Kremlin. Yet he did not disclose any details of their meeting. Israeli media said Netanyahu was to discuss Moscow's arms deals with Iran and Syria during the visit.
| In Israel the president, however much loved, has no power, no more than the queen of England. It's the prime minister who makes runs things, and we must note that Mr. Medvedev does not quote PM Netanyahu on the subject. And of course, there is the lips factor. |
