the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. this is r t with me kevin now in our top story mainstream media lash out at their former favorite whistleblower julian songe resorting to personal insults for his interview show debuts here on r t but some experts believe the sharp u. turn is standard journalistic jealousy and political agenda. president putin picks outgoing leaders to meet with credit for a place of his head of russia's ruling party had better has given the final kremlin speech of his term before handing over the reins of power to peace time. is clearly n.g.o.s are trying to incite for intervention in syria where violence continues despite a fragile truce between government forces and rebels the organizations are accused

of publishing unconfirmed reports supposed to provoke international military action in libya. next the israeli deputy foreign minister tells just how far his country might go when it comes to iran. with me i have to only i enjoy the deputy israeli foreign minister thank you very much for joining us here on r t pleasure to be here is israel preparing for war with iran israel is not preparing for war in iran because we believe iran can be stopped through diplomatic and economic means iran is a very vulnerable and weak country economically politically socially but it all depends on a united front by the entire international community anything deed there will be enforced biting sanctions we will not need to resort to any other means

so why all the war coming from government well. mostly it is media reports so we are not responsible for that ever read to emphasize that iran he's a threat. not only to israel but to the entire international community you've spoken for harsher sanctions on iran but what sanctions just make it rain here national clothes right and support the government more fervently you know and this is a challenge that we have to address and we have been addressing you because we have nothing against the great iranian people the persian people in fact when you talk about these were. jewish persian relations actually extending over thousands four thousand years to reach cultures with mysteries and relations what we see here today with the slightest regime is an operation and certainly they can

be stopped but for that we need everybody on board to and if we do this if we have anybody everybody on board they will yield because there's a grain. fanatic there's the ayatollah as a regime in tehran is they are not totally irrational when it comes to be your own political survival but if you're not successful in getting everyone on board will israel go to war and no. again it's very important to emphasize you're running the threat to all of us in the international community we are part of and i would heed very much and pay attention to what president obama said after his meeting with prime minister netanyahu last month in washington and that is iran he's a threat to the national security of the united states and that iran will not become a nuclear and no option is off the table

a bomb is of ministration looks reluctant to make a decision about a strike on iran do you think a republican government would be more decisive we know distinguish between democrats or republicans we see only american whoever is in the white house and the administration they have first. american interests and american security would like to see the u.s. support a strike on iraq this is something that we do not discuss publicly of course. again i would say. our interest is. to avoid any confrontation and i believe we can do it through a coordinated concerted effort by the international community you serve as israel's ambassador to the united states until two thousand and six at a time when bush was in power do you think it was easier for israel to deal with the united states back then not necessarily israel or the united states or the best

friends and allies based on a long history of shared values and common interests maybe some bumps in the road but this. it's between the best between good you know in the best families you have some arguments which is very very natural if you don't have arguments something is wrong with means maybe you're not honest with one another so i do not see any very light between us and washington if he's reading not be in the united states we could now be no i don't think that i took in a flawed being quite honestly and being in the united states from many years you don't need much much lobbying a visit to forty one out of the fifty states you see out of washington the great support for israel could israel act without the united states when deciding what to

do with iran what is really a sovereign country we take our own decisions we certainly have our capabilities to defend ourselves in the u.s. it would not support a strike on iran but if it's all had to go that route what that means for israeli relations this is very hypothetical but. i will not answer this question except to say that in the past when it came to matters of national security. everybody understood that we are. responsible for our own future and just to be here and in fact being in washington. the americans do not expect us to share technical or operational details this is something which each country use over into its own and in fact we have done it in the past whether it was. the. operation on the illegal

nuclear reactor of saddam hussein in eighty one. and many other self defense authorization so it would be nice is not going to be an. between us and the united states the united states is really hated in many parts of the muslim population do you think that by having such a close relationship with this well it is jeopardizing its international standing even further. not at all. there are many who say that. israel is so much attacked politically and so much incitement against is rooted in the arab and muslim world. because we were present western to all courses than the western civilization so it's kind of the other way around and indeed unfortunately in the muslim and the arab world

there have been some brainwashing for generations by islamist elements by palestinians and they do not see the facts there is only one narrative. which is kind of a block for them for real opening their minds and hearts to somebody which is different from someone who somebody which really wants their. benefits. in that respect i believe all of us are in the same basket whether it's the united states whether it's europe whether it's russia or whether it's israel israel is still to have seven hundred nuclear weapons and it is the questions to strike iran so who is the real danger in the region usually is the only country in the world that has been threatened by other forces. to be exterminated we on the other

hand have never threatened anyone else israel has a very very clear position that we will not be the first to introduce a nuclear weapon if you are in the middle east we keep the. policy and. you may say i'm a big he was a position for decades and this is also a matter of the highest national interest. policy. is one of the cornerstone of our policy so to compare the situation or to compare israel with any other country is just wrong you cannot compare apples to oranges not about this country's ever increasing self isolation which is considered a major failure of israel's foreign policy but this is something that i'd like to take issue with i'm not at all feeling that we are isolated and you cannot really

measure isolation only by your rhetoric from some opposing countries or not even by resolutions in the united nations in the united nations and other. international organizations the arabs and the muslims unfortunately have the sort of magic majority so no matter what they passed it would be a game starts but in real terms when it comes to trade science cooperation investments. by electoral visits we are not isolated quite the contrary you've lost egypt and turkey as close allies well this is something that has to be looked through the internal situation. turkey i'm not sure it's a matter of turkey is really it's a matter of turkey. and the international community where it is in the future because it's going to move towards. the west or east how are you going to cope with the islam as ation of wolf africa and the middle east where this is something that

has to be done not by a small and mostly by the societies which are going concern. and the other international community members. and you feel that western nations involvement in the revolutions in egypt and libya have created problems for israel well it created problems for the entire order in the middle east and beyond and. actually we have to remember that the root cause was this functionality in the arab world and what we see a military invasion in syria i doubt there so i'm not sure that there is much wherewithal in the international community to do anything in terms of intervention however i believe that if i can draw back the attention to iraq putting more pressure on iran also will help the people in syria it's not good for israel if

assad forces. i think first and foremost it's good for the people of syria secondly i believe it would be good for all the sunni governments in the region is assad to be eased a stooge off iraq so certainly certainly any other. responsible . governing power in syria would be better but all you're not concerned with having and the other is not must be made for sheen as a neighbor absolutely absolutely this is of course so for concern but at the moment the grave problem that we have these iran so i believe that we can in. the grip of the run over syria that would be the interest of all the people in the middle east the people of syria and the

international community danny i have the need to put israeli foreign minister thank you very much for joining us here on our team thank you. but there are still innocent key allies a call of course and that's never answered. the song from the skull still with me i think of it every day. the flashbacks from the memories. of so much so that a long time i'm just here trying to tell him. i was. i was ashamed that i didn't. i was ashamed that i had been a. while. ago are my go my legs i'm alive.

and them on. what i what the vietnam was of our portable. what i was going on once or i think. that i was a good soldier. but now most older on the other side and i think i'm just in the good.
