Mossad chief’s makes coup suggestions on Iran

Ynet Monday 29th November, 2010

Wikileaks documents have revealed classified details of meetings between Israeli and US officials.

WikiLeaks has shed some light on meetings between officials of the countries, including conversations with Israel's Mossad chief.

Ynet has revealed discussions between leading figures made in 2007, included Meir Dagan presenting the US with a five-step program to perform a coup in Iran.

Also, in a meeting, Dagan said "nothing can be achieved" with Palestinians.

An early cable from 2005 recounted a meeting between former US Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer and Mossad Director Meir Dagan that detailed the spy agency’s activities in Iraq.

Later documents describe meetings between Dagan and other American officials.

Other correspondence includes meetings between Benjamin Netanyahu – first as opposition leader and later as prime minister and US President Barack Obama.

According to the published documents, Netanyahu claimed that the three main threats concerning Israel were the Iranian nuclear program, rockets obtained by Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria, and the Goldstone Report.

He explained that the report granted legitimization to those who seek to harm Israel.

In one of the meetings held toward the end of 2009 between Israeli officials and Assistant Secretary of State Andro Shapiro, the Israelis claimed they had “a bad feeling” about Turkey, and expressed concern over the close ties the Turkish government was developing with Syria and Iran, while distancing itself from Israel.
