Wikileaks: “Israeli” War with Hizbullah a Matter of Time

The Newspaper "al- Joumhuriyah" revealed a "Wikileaks" document stating that the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Jacob Lew transferred the content of his recent visit to the Zionist Entity where he discussed security and economic situations with "Israeli" officials.

In a confidential memorandum coded: 10TELAVIV279, issued by the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv at the date of February 5, 2010, both the "Israeli" Prime Minister and War Minister continue to consider a nuclear Iran as an existential threat and a disaster for the regional stability.

The document added that the "Israeli" government is pushing in the direction of imposing immediate severe sanctions, with the insistence on keeping the military option.

The "Israeli" officials believe that the method of solving the Iranian nuclear file in the next two years will determine the concept of American power for coming years.

Regarding the Lebanese file, the document uncovered that officials in the "Israeli" government believe that the war with Hizbullah is merely a matter of time and that they do not hurry the initiative with any provocative step. It added that these officials are convinced that Hizbullah is currently not interested in any form of fighting. However, "Israeli" officials privately and publicly repeat that all Lebanon will bear the responsibility with the existence of Hizbullah party within the Lebanese government.

As for the economic aspect, Lew sates that "despite its strong growth before the crisis, the "Israeli" economy remains weaker than it seems."
