ISRAEL Launches air raids on Gaza, and Pakistan Military launches air raids on Northwest Pakistan on the same day. They both are working on close coordination. The enemies of both are “Islamic Groups” and “Islamic movement.”
Defense Minister Ehud Barak secretly met last week with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf, Israel's Channel 2 reported Sunday. The meeting lasted about an hour, during which Barak expressed his concern over the growth of radical Islam in Pakistan, The channel reports.
They held two meetings in the French capital. The first unscheduled meeting was short, at the end of which the two men agreed to meet for a longer session. The second meeting lasted around an hour.
On the following day, Musharraf invited Barak for a meeting that focused on Iran's nuclear program and Israel's concerns that Pakistan's nuclear secrets might fall into the hands of extremist Islamist groups, Israeli News Ynet reported.
It is interesting to note that the terrorist state Israel, the source of world terrorism has more than 200 nuclear warheads in their hands, is showing "serious" concern in nuclear program of Pakistan.
(The Israel-US slave ruler of Pakistan) Musharraf “reassured” Barak that his country's nuclear weapons were well-secured and that there was no risk they would end up in the wrong hands, Ynet reported.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak met last week with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in Paris, where the Labor Party leader told Musharraf he was concerned about the growing strength of extremist Islamic movements in Pakistan, Israeli Newspaper Haaretz reported.
Israeli Defense Ministry officials confirmed that the meeting has taken place.
Musharraf love affairs with Israel are not new. His dinner speech with American Jewish Congress in 2005 in New York was a breakthrough.
In November 2007, U.S. Jewish leader Rosen visited Pakistan to support Musharraf.
“With the blessing of Washington, Jack Rosen, chairman of the American Jewish Congress's Council for World Jewry, traveled halfway across the globe for a face-to-face meeting with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who he had hailed two years ago as a courageous leader and driving force in Jewish-Muslim dialogue,” Haaretz reported
"The real choice we face is not between Musharraf and a return to an effective democratic system, but between Musharraf and the possible collapse of Pakistan," Rosen wrote in a letter to the editor appearing in this week's edition of the Jewish Daily Forward.
Rosen made the trip to Islamabad after consulting with the State Department and key members of Congress. In addition to Musharraf, he met with General Ashfaq Kiyani, the as well as ministers and intelligence officials. In his letter to the Forward, he said he also met with opposition leaders. Rosen declined further comment.
The Council of World Jewry has made efforts to reach out to Jewish groups in France and Russia, but to date its signature achievement has been Musharraf's appearance at an AJ Congress dinner in 2005, the first address made by a Pakistani leader before a Jewish group. At the dinner, Musharraf vowed to improve Muslim-Jewish ties, including relations between Israel and Pakistan, and said he was committed to combating extremist (Islamic and anti Israeli) groups.
Rosen did stress in his letter to the editor of the Forward that democracy should be the 'ultimate goal' and that Musharraf understands this. But he noted that Pakistan first had to focus on dealing with the multiple threats it is facing.
"The most compelling idea that should inform our policy toward Pakistan is the urgent need to keep that country's nuclear arsenal out of the hands of the Islamist extremists," Rosen writes. "That requires some stability, which rests, inter alia, on cooperation between a strong military and a strong executive branch.
In September 2005, Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri met with then Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom in Istanbul in the first publicly acknowledged high-level contact between the predominantly Muslim nation and Israel.
Musharraf had defended his government's talks with Israel, saying contact between the two countries is in accordance with the tenets of Islam. Musharraf said Islam allowed its followers to engage with people of other faiths.
Ex-Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, who was also present in the meeting, said Pakistan would decide about the recognition of Israel "in the supreme national interest after due consultations."
Pakistan had made the decision to hold talks with Israel after the implementation of the 2005 disengagement plan.
In 2005, Pervez Musharraf had shaken hands with the butcher and killer of thousands of Palestinians in Sabira and Shatila, Ariel Sharon at the UN.
In April, 2007, Musharraf made the surprise offer in an interview with the Arab satellite station Al-Arabiya when he told the Dubai-based station that he would even be willing to visit the Jewish state to help bring “peace” to the Middle East.
According to a report in Israeli daily, Ma’ariv, Benazir Bhutto reached out to the Mossad, for protection. Israeli authorities favored helping her, Ma’ariv reported, adding that she had also turned to Scotland Yard and the CIA for assistance. “She wrote me of how she admired Israel and of her desire to see a normalization in the relations between Israel and Pakistan, including the establishment of diplomatic ties,” Dan Gillerman, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told ynetnews.com, the Web site of the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot.
Reportedly hesitant to offend Musharraf, Israel’s government had failed to make a decision (services of Mossad for her protection).
