Israel turns out to be a secret participant in the Libyan war

40

Israel secretly favors Marshal Haftar in the Libyan conflict in his confrontation with the NTC army, led by Faiz Saraj. Tel Aviv supports Cairo as one of its most consistent partners in the region, hence the Israelis' interest in the victory of the "Haftarites". The Turkish news agency Anadolu reports.

Journalist Joseph Millman in an interview with the British edition of the Middle East Eye said that the Israeli intelligence service "Mossad" trained LNA commanders in Egypt in military tactics, leadership of military operations, competent analysis of the situation and intelligence gathering. During his visits to Cairo in 2017 and 2019, Haftar reportedly discussed with Mossad officials the supply of night vision devices and sniper rifles to the LNA.



Israel believes that if the Libyan National Army wins in the east of the country, a "security wall" will be created to prevent the illegal transportation of weapons from Libya through Sinai to Palestinian terrorists to Gaza. In addition, Haftar, with his oil money, could become a good buyer of Israeli weapons.

Tel Aviv also has a political and energy interest here. Haftar could in the future ensure stable gas transit from Israel through the Mediterranean to European consumers. Another reason is the threat to Egypt from the PNC and pro-Turkish paramilitary groups. Israel is an ally of Egypt in the region, so it readily supports the LNA.

      The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Turkey began to take out of order.

      Well done, it's time to stop.

      I believe that not only Jerusalem and Cairo are interested in tempering Turkey's ardor in the BB. But the allies of the current "Magnificent Port" are not yet visible. Diaspora of Ankara is not bad, in Germany, for example, but it has never and nowhere demonstrated devotion to its historical homeland. Of the countries that openly sympathize with Turkey, I can only name it offhand, perhaps Azerbaijan. Uzbekistan is a stretch, but not enough to "go uncontrollably into the last mortal battle." And the Christian Armenia and Greece have long-standing scores with the Turks, and the Georgians are not delighted with Erdogan's ambitions. Not to mention the Kurds.

        Yes, I am not very interested in their allies, it just turns out that there is a snake ball in Libya, there is half the Middle East, plus Europe, but for some reason they shout - this is a confrontation between Russia and Turkey, Putin must definitely start a war and put Erdogan in his place. True, it is not clear why request and to whom should. I am glad that you openly joined this warm company, and since you have already come .... I wanted to ask .... Isn't it time for Netanyahu to put Erdogan in his place? laughing Judging by the reaction, this proposal does not find a warm response. winked In principle, I understand why ... I have no complaints about Israel in this regard, they are against those who want to involve Russia in this war.

          123, the points you raised are a topic for a separate serious publication. I can only briefly express my subjective opinion. At the heart of interest in Libya, with bets on various forces that control one or another part of its territory, are hydrocarbons. Plus, subject to control in this country, the unfreezing of Turkish projects for $ 25 billion, Russian projects for $ 8-10 billion. Europe is on the sidelines, the States are also. Arabs, except Qatar, are against the strengthening of Turkey. This is an internal Arab question. I am far from sure that the Russian Federation plays into the hands of Turkey's dominance in Libya. This is the loss of possible bases, the market for their products, control over hydrocarbons. Everyone has their own interests. As the saying goes, two bears cannot get along in one den. Therefore, they support directly opposite forces: the Arabs, the RF - Haftar, Turkey - Saraja. I do not see Israel's interest. Perhaps indirectly sympathizing with Haftar, strengthening Egypt's position in relation to Turkey. Israel will remain on the sidelines of the conflict. Definitely. I am convinced of this. The Arab-Israeli wars were imposed on Israel. And to harness itself in Libya 1000 km from its borders is political suicide for any Israeli government. What has Israel lost in this mess?

            The topic is really complex and extensive. Using Israel as an example, I only compare the approach to the problem. Jews are accused of many things, but not often of stupidity, it is quite suitable for comparison.

            What has Israel lost in this mess?

            I suppose not, however, like Russia, the only thing at stake is the opportunity to earn something. You can't lose what you don't have. Contracts are a possible prospect, nothing more. The prospect of getting a base is, of course, interesting, but not the fact that control over all of Libya is needed. Paradoxical as it may seem, two "bears" may well get along in this den. Oil, mainly at Haftar, needs access to the sea and a port. It is troublesome, costly to squeeze out the Turks, plus possible losses and deterioration of relations with the Turks, and there are many points of contact with them. Transcaucasia, Syria and much more.
            I'm just wondering what are the motives of the people who advocate a military conflict with the Turks.

      The Turks were put in place 10 years ago when the Navi Marmara tried to break into Gaza. A dozen Turkish extremists were put on the spot, because they did not obey the landing party who had landed on the ship and tried to bullshit, and the ship was brought to Ashdod. Then, I remember, Erdogan kicked himself in the chest with his heel and with his mother swore that he would personally arrive in Gaza on a cruiser, but somehow it did not work out for him. At the same time, he did not even break the relationship. Air travel, diplomatic relations, tourism, trade - everything is as it was.

                    I'm about the same. Moreover, if you look more closely, what does Russia get if the Turks leave? First, this does not at all mean Libya's transition to Russian control. After that, both "coalitions" become adversaries. The French and Italians will not be happy about this, especially the United States and they will put pressure on the allies in this matter. Arab monarchies? It's hard to call them friends. They will claim their share of the pie and influence. Egypt is practically their ally, which means the deterioration of relations with him.
                    Are the Turks claiming the shelf? Well, let them squabble with the Greeks and Cypriots. Taking the place of the Turks in this project, with all the ensuing consequences, is not a good idea.
                    Now almost no one likes the Turks in Libya - by squeezing them out of there, Russia automatically takes their place.

                Sometimes you have to send your sons to distant lands, this is more far-sighted than "sitting in the same trench" in the Caucasus. We went through this, in my opinion, it is better to solve the problem on the spot, and not wait for it to come to the house. As for you, until peace is established along the borders, you will sit in the trenches and you will. Otherwise it will not work. And the tasks, naturally, will be more modest - to survive.
                For the world power, women do not give birth to children anywhere, we are talking a little about something else, about a peaceful life, so that women can safely give birth to children, and not sit in the trenches with a machine gun in their hands.

      What's so strange about that. The Americans are entirely on the side of Haftar. In the territory controlled by Haftar, they extract oil, in the territory controlled by Haftar, a pipeline runs to the coast, to the port of Sirte. The attacks on Sirte prompted a note from the US State Department that the parties should not interfere with the export of (American) oil from Libya.
      And Israel is the US mongrel. Protects their interests.

    The name of the journalist Joseph Millman is unknown to me, judging by what he told the British edition of the Middle East Eye, he, delicately speaking, is not very up to date. "Mossad" is not an army structure and training the Haftarites in military tactics and commanding combat operations is not its profile, especially since the Egyptians themselves can well train local cadres at the level required for military operations in Libya. It is clear that Israel today is completely on the side of the Egyptians in this conflict, because vitally interested in the stability of the power of President Mursi.

      "Mossad" is not an army structure and training of the Khaftarites in military tactics and the leadership of military operations is not its profile.

      But the Mossad is quite empowered and able to organize such training at one of its bases with the involvement of army specialists. The army, it seems, cannot directly communicate with the "partisans" of the neighboring country, but the Mossad does not hesitate to organize such an event. They are guys without prejudice. There would be a political will of the leadership.

I will also reveal a terrible secret - all the rights of non-Jews - citizens of Israel do have, including electoral. And the joint Arab list is one of the largest parties. Moreover, non-Jews, the same Arabs, are also present in non-Arab parties, and they also held ministerial posts. And how many of the same Druze (these are not Jews) are in the army (and there are generals), police, prison service, etc. And what does Yeshua have to do with it? I will tell you one more secret - in Israel there are enough churches and even there is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and in all these churches everyone who wants to pray. I'm not talking about mosques, there are a lot of them here. So yes, freedom of religion. So it is still worthwhile to first familiarize yourself with the topic on which you undertake to reason, so as not to look like an ignoramus.

    Especially Israel did not hide its relations with Haftar, we have been selling weapons to him for several years. Saraj, having signed an agreement on the shelf with Turkey, automatically became an enemy of Egypt, Israel, Greece and Cyprus. The hatred between Sisi and Erdogan is based on their different attitudes towards the Muslim brothers (and daughter Hamas) and makes Egypt and Israel allies, at least on this issue.

    Not on the topic, but since you are so itchy, I will insert my five cents. First, about Judaism, which you see as "inevitably lost in the backyard."
    Wouldn't get lost, I dare to assure you. For several reasons, in my humble understanding:
    1. It was a monotheistic religion with a deeply humane and philosophical content that was revolutionary for those times. Ten Commandments - as a moral framework, Shabbat - as a day of rest, regulation of relations in society (613 commandments) and their interpretation, essentially a set of laws for all types of law, universal literacy.
    2. Disproportionate success of Jews in all areas, despite their small number (15 million people on the planet). Thanks primarily to loyalty to Judaism.
    3. Agree, for over 70 years, tiny Israel has taken a leading position in the world in very many respects, and in terms of living standards has caught up with Germany.
    4. There is no Nazism in Israel. It is a social democratic country, where in its entire recent history there has not been a single pogrom against citizens of another religion, on ethnic grounds. Not a single temple was destroyed. According to the Law on Return in Israel, not only the grandson of a Jew, but also his entire family, which has nothing to do with Jews, can obtain citizenship without a single problem and delay. Israel has about 400 non-Jewish citizens, in addition to 1.5 million Arabs. And not a single conflict on interethnic grounds. Israeli Arabs do not carry out terrorist attacks in Israel. During the War of Independence, the Circassians created a Cavalry Squadron on their own initiative and fought shoulder to shoulder together with the Jews against the Arab aggressors. Despite the fact that in 1948 the outcome of the war was far from clear. And the world is convinced of the defeat of the Jews.
    5. Arabs, Circassians, Druses, disabled people are provided with benefits for admission to study and work.
    6. The Arab Christian community is the only one in BW that is not shrinking or endangered. Arabs are overrepresented among doctors, lawyers, builders (especially). In the Knesset, the third largest bloc is the SLA.
    Need more facts - I'll throw it. I have them.

    Why throw it up? If you are convinced. But to clear your conscience. You are writing about Jewish Nazism. It cannot be a priori. For the simple reason that a person of any ethnicity can become a Jew by nationality. You, for example. You need to convert to Judaism. As ethnic Russians did in RI - subbotniks. You will be surprised, but Ariel Sharon has a native Russian mother - Vera Ivanovna. Converted to Judaism, became Deborah. Or the Chief of the General Staff of Israel - Rafael Eitan - the same story. Or a very recent example: Anastasia Mikhalevskaya. Miss Petersburg, a successful Russian girl in all respects. She converted to Judaism, and in the most orthodox form, became Anastasia Michaeli. Eight children. One of the most famous politicians in Israel is a permanent member of several cadences in the Knesset. Well, what kind of Nazism is this?

Seen more than anything and all sorts of different tusakovye-ball, too. Handled the most difficult conflicts and situations. Therefore, at my level, polemicize, if this word is generally applicable to you and "pr" - it's funny (s). The right word.
