TEL-AVIV, September 10 (Itar-Tass) - Israeli authorities have called for curtailing all military contacts with Georgia, Israeli defence officials said on Wednesday. The blanket directive stated that all businesses involved in military sales with Tbilisi should immediately cease visits to the region.

This decision was taken following Israel’s concerns over possible worsening of relations with Russia. First of all, Israel is concerned over response supplies of Russia’s state-of-the-art weapons to the Middle East countries hostile to Israel.

Over the past several years Israel exported surveillance drones, camouflage security equipment and small arms to Georgia. The Georgian armed forces have several Israel-made GRADLAR multiple launch rocket systems in their fleet.

Israeli officers trained Georgian commando units. At the same time Israel refused to sell to Georgia a large batch of Merkava battle tanks and several other systems. Even before the conflict in South Ossetia Israel practically stopped military cooperation with Georgia.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Georgia was the Base Israel was planning on attacking Iran from.

I think part of Russia's pull out agreement had to do with a guarantee that Israel would not be allowed to attack from Georgia.

This is just a confirmation from Israel to Russia that their message was heard...

Check Mate neocons...

Another point...Israel had to distance itself from the US on this one because of the Russian threat to go public with information confiscated in Georgia from a couple of CIA agents (taped to their backs) regarding the Iran attack and other dirty laundry. Putin told Bush that if Russian demands are not met by Sept 21st then the info would be leaked. This information will severely hurt the Israeli economy and reputation. Bush is not backing down as of yet which has got the Israeli's concerned. If the information is leaked we will see people choose sides very quickly and publicly. Keep an eye out from Sept 21 through the 27th regarding this matter.

You are just a wealth of knowledge, there are so many things coming together at the end of this month...

The question is when the Neocons are backed into a corner like wounded badgers, will they strike out or submit quietly...
