Sarkozy called Israeli PM Netanyahu 'liar'

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists.

"I can't stand him anymore, he's a liar," Mr Sarkozy said in French.

"You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Mr Obama replied.

The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media.

The remarks - during a private conversation - were overheard by a few journalists last week but were not initially reported, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says.

Journalists at the bilateral press conference had been handed translation boxes but had been told not to plug in their headphones until the backroom conversation had finished. But those who did heard the revealing comments.

For several days there was media silence in France about the exchange - a decision had been taken not to embarrass the French president, our correspondent says.

A correspondent for Le Monde newspaper referred to the conversation without the quotes.

But Israeli newspapers have reported it in full.

It is said Mr Obama was taking Mr Sarkozy to task for voting in favour of the Palestinian bid for full membership of the UN cultural organisation, Unesco, a bid that was approved despite American opposition.

The remarks indicate a breakdown of trust with the Israeli leader which could have wider implications for the Middle East peace process, our correspondent says.

"I hear that the Israeli government is to forego its Nuclear armaments and research in its attempts to secure long term peace in the Middle East."

Or is this another "fairy story".

There is a lot of evidence that Syria has been developing their own nuclear bomb for quite a time.

This story was from just last week!

Syria nuclear weapons site revealed by UN investigators

IAEA identifies uranium enrichment plant design at Hasakah and finds correspondence with Pakistan atomic expert, sources claim

UN investigators have identified a previously unknown complex in Syria that bolsters suspicions the government in Damascus worked with Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb, to acquire nuclear weapons technology.

The buildings in north-west Syria closely match the design of a uranium enrichment plant provided to Libya when Muammar Gaddafi was trying to build nuclear weapons under Khan's guidance, officials said.

The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also obtained correspondence between Khan and a Syrian government official, Muhidin Issa, who proposed scientific co-operation and a visit to Khan's laboratories after a successful nuclear test by Pakistan in 1998.

The complex, in the city of Hasakah, now appears to be a cotton-spinning plant, and investigators have found no sign it was ever used for nuclear production. Given that Israeli warplanes destroyed a suspected plutonium production reactor in Syria in 2007, the unlikely coincidence in design suggests Syria may have been pursuing two routes to an atomic bomb: uranium as well as plutonium.

Details of the Syria-Khan connection were provided to Associated Press by a senior diplomat with knowledge of IAEA investigations and a former UN investigator. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

I would swear I heard Netty making that comment I wrote earlier.

An American man, a French guy, and an Arab are all on a plane. Suddenly the pilot comes over the PA and says the plane is going to crash if they don't get rid of some unnecessary weight. The American takes a huge bag of hamburgers out of his suitcase and tosses it out the window, saying "Not a problem, I've got plenty of these where I come from." The Arab guy somehow produces an entire barrel of oil and tosses it out, saying "Not a problem, I got plenty of this where I come from." The French guy thinks things over for a minute, then grabs the Arab and throws him out the window.

What about a few sanctions against Israel as they have had a nuclear bomb since 1967? They are the most war-like country in the ME.

Israel is currently believed to possess between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads with the ability to deliver them by intercontinental ballistic missile, aircraft, and submarine.[

.

I think the new sanctions on Iran are the height of hypocrisy by USA and UK.

It is racial elitism to suggest that one group are fit to have nuclear armaments, or armaments of any other kind. Especially when you consider who has used them in in the past in one form or another.


I think the present USA and UK action, other than creating more resentment in the ME as a whole than in the past, I will do little for a Peace Negotiation.

It will make the present regime in Iran even more recalcitrant than ever.

Seems and out of touch USA administration bowing to the Jewish Lobby before an oncoming election and the usual response and a lapdog response by the UK.

Seems stupid to me.

On balance it seems it might be a good idea for Iran to have nuclear weapons if Israel does. I would prefer it if neither had them though.

Agreed.

No I will lie down.

A French parliamentary report, recently concluded that the 450,000 Israeli settlers who live illegally on the West Bank of the River Jordan, in defiance of international opinion, use more water than the 2.3 million Palestinians whose home it is. This is due to water restrictions imposed on Palestinians by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Wouldnt you know it even the chinese are bowing to the jewish lobby now
