Report: Putin Backs Israel in Middle East Issues - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News
A pact was forged between Moscow and Jerusalem to ensure Israel's security during a private meeting last month, according to a Friday Maariv report.
The report claims that a 90-minute conversation took place between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin during Netanyahu's last-minute attempt to prevent an interim nuclear deal between Western powers and Iran.
While Moscow - which has been rumored to be involved in a nuclear arms deal with Tehran - refused to accede to Israel's stance on the nuclear Iran issue, Putin did allegedly promise to ensure Israel's security in the region.
Netanyahu asked Putin "not to push" the demilitarization of the Middle East from all nuclear weapons, according to the report. Israel has facedmounting international pressure to sign the UN's Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Netanyahu stressed to Putin that threats to disarm Israel of its nuclear weapons - which have never been officially confirmed by Israeli officials but are widely thought to be in Israel's possession - would harm Israel's interests in the Middle East.
Putin, surprisingly, agreed to the proposal. "Russia will block efforts to convene the nuclear arms conference," he allegedly promised Netanyahu.
Putin even made it clear to Netanyahu that Russia will not do anything to harm Israel. He added that despite the close relationship between Israel and the US - with whom Russia's relationship is strained - Russia would nonetheless stand by Israel's side and offer aid in the event of a conflict against it, according to the report.
