Senior Administrator at Strategic Diplomatic Relations and Chairman at Helsinki Think Tank
Nov. 2, 2014
Hi Haim, I wrote this recommendation of your work that you can include on your profile. Thanks, Michael “Mike”
Haim is man with wide own genuine experiences living in the ME and EU and Canada. For Haim a stroll down a Ankara road is as familiar as a stroll in Paris or Hague. Haim is fully where ever he is. In other words you now know a man who is never lost. That’s much ab…out how Haim also does matters he does things he knows in a blink of an eye and doesn’t waste a second on something he would not be fast and efficient with.
I have shared many groups and hundreds of discussions with Haim regarding western security matter and tendencies. Haim always manages to dig up something that you won’t find as a give away”” along the OS intelligence path. This as Haim is innovative in his searches and turn, stones upside down, which most westerners would not dream of turning. Haim knows the ME mentality and can therefore think along lines others might not be able to….
Haim has been of great help as a fact finder for SDR (Strategic Diplomatic relations) and also act as a specialist on ME fact finding for Helsinki Think Tank.
Haim is not just a good coworker. He is the best co worker!
I wish to thank Haim from the bottom of my heart and hope to continue this friendship and endless hours of help.

It can be said that the USA did not go out of its way to move aircraft carriers from their course to show support for Israel. All the movements of the aircraft carriers were made in the service of the interests of the United States and only for those interests. All the interpretations in the media attributed to the USA sentiments that go beyond the cold consideration of the interests of the superpower This, were baseless. One of the most important strategic assets of the US in the Middle East is the security cooperation with the State of Israel. This is an interest that is consistent with the operations of the US Navy in the area for many years.
Los estadounidenses enviaron portaaviones “en ayuda de Israel”? Se puede decir que los EE.UU. no hicieron todo lo posible para desviar a los portaaviones de su curso para mostrar su apoyo a Israel. Todos los movimientos de los portaaviones se hicieron al servicio de los intereses de los Estados Unidos y sólo para aquellos Todas las interpretaciones que los medios de comunicación atribuyen a los sentimientos de Estados Unidos, que van más allá de la fría consideración de los intereses de la superpotencia estadounidense, carecen de fundamento. Uno de los activos estratégicos más importantes de Estados Unidos en Medio Oriente es la cooperación en materia de seguridad con el Estado de Israel. Este es un interés que es consistente con las operaciones de la Marina de los EE.UU. en la zona durante muchos años.
הנשיא לשעבר סוהרטו אפשר למוסד להיות נוכחות גדולה באינדונזיה.
אינדונזיה – קשר עסקי רשמי של ישראל ממשלת אינדונזיה אולי אומרת שאין יחסים דיפלומטיים עם ישראל, אבל העובדות בשטח, ממשלת אינדונזיה וישראל למעשה מטפחות יחסים טובים עם ישראל בעסקים.
קשר עסקי אינטימי בין אינדונזיה לממשלת ישראל נחתם על פי החלטת הנשיא הרביעי של אינדונזיה, בשם עבדורהמן וואהיד או גוסדור. בשנת 1999 פתח עבדורהמן וואהיד את קשרי הסחר הרשמיים עם ישראל. התוכנית באה לידי ביטוי גם על ידי משרד התעשייה והמסחר של אינדונזיה בשם Luhut Binsar Panjaitan בשנת 2001 עם החתימה על הצו מס’ 23/MPP/01/2001 להכשיר את יחסי הסחר בין אינדונזיה וישראל, אשר צפוי להגדיל את הפיתוח הכלכלי בין שתי מדינות.
יחסי האינטימיות בין אינדונזיה וישראל נמשכו בתקופת שלטונו של הנשיא סוסילו במבנג יודהויונו (SBY). ב-13 בספטמבר 2005, נפגש שר החוץ של אינדונזיה חסן וויראיודה עם שר החוץ הישראלי, סילבן שלום, בניו יורק, ארה”ב. חסן טען שהפגישה לא נועדה לדון בשיקום היחסים הדיפלומטיים. לפי כלי תקשורת זרה אחת, ירושלים (ישראל) שלחה מכתב לג’קרטה כדי להראות את נכונותה של ישראל לשמור על קשר עסקי בין ג’קרטה לתל אביב.
עובדה שנמצאה בשטח גרמה ל-SBY למצוא סיבה חזקה להסביר זאת בוועידה הציבורית. במשרדו של הנציג הקבוע של הרפובליקה של אינדונזיה בניו יורק, הנשיא השישי של אינדונזיה, סוסילו במבנג יודויונו (SBY) אומר “אין משהו מטשטש במחויבות של אינדונזיה שרוצה לעזור למאבק של העם הפלסטיני”. לרוע המזל, ההצהרה של הנשיא SBY אינה מכילה כל משמעות ביחס לפגישה החשאית בין אינדונזיה וישראל לדיון ברשתות עסקיות. אולם מאז, היחסים בין שתי המדינות מתהדקים. בשנת 2006, משימת סחר שבוצעה על ידי לשכת המסחר והתעשייה האינדונזית עם ביקור בישראל. יו”ר לשכת המסחר והתעשייה האינדונזית, מוחמד חידיאט, חתם על ההסכמים הכלכליים בין שתי המדינות. נשיא התאחדות התעשיינים בישראל, שרגא ברוש, סבור ואמר כי “אינדונזיה יכולה להיות שוק גדול ונהדר לייצוא סחורות ישראליות בדרום מזרח אסיה”. בעוד יו”ר לשכת המסחר והתעשייה האינדונזית, מוחמד חידיאט אמר כי שיתוף הפעולה הזה יכול לעזור לחברות ישראליות לבצע כל פעילות עסקית באינדונזיה.
הנשיא הרביעי של אינדונזיה, עבדורהמן וואהיד.
ביקור זה גם מאשר את הקמה האינטנסיבית של מגעים בין שתי המדינות במסחר. היקף נתוני הסחר בין אינדונזיה לישראל במהלך שנת 2005 הגיע ל-154 מיליון דולר. ישראל מאמינה שהיא תגיע ל-600 מיליון דולר ב-2010 ולמעלה ממיליארד דולר ב-2012.
ישראל מכוונת לפרויקטים חשובים שונים באינדונזיה, למשל, פרויקט פיתוח PLT-Geothermal בסומטרה בשווי 200 מיליון דולר בו זכתה אורמת טכנולוגיות בע”מ, חברת הנדסה ישראלית בתחום האנרגיה הגיאותרמית. בנוסף, אינדונזיה הפכה ליעד שיווקי של מוצרי טכנולוגיה ביו-רפואית.
מנתח אינדונזי שנוסע לעתים קרובות לאזורי סכסוך ברחבי העולם כמו אפגניסטן, עיראק, לבנון, פלסטין, סומליה ואחרים חשף ציוד טיפול נמרץ רב בבתי החולים הגדולים באינדונזיה שנקנה מישראל. בהקשר זה, ממשלת אינדונזיה שלחה פעמים רבות צוותים רפואיים לתל אביב לאימון טיפול נמרץ (יחידה לטיפול נמרץ).
מלבד עולם הרפואה, על פי נתונים שהתקבלו, צבא אינדונזיה רכש מספר כלי נשק כמו רובה הצלפים גליל גלץ 7.62 מ”מ, מיקרו תבור 9 מ”מ, תבור TAR-21, יריחו 941, IWI נגב 5.56 מ”מ קל מקלע ו. אקדח יריחו 941 שכולם מתוצרת התעשייה הצבאית הישראלית (תעש) בשנת 2012.
לדברי הגנרל (במיל’) סומיטרו, מערכת יחסים הרמונית ואינטימית בין שירות הביון הישראלי, המוסד וצבא אינדונזיה (TNI) הם אמיתיים. הוא כותב: “דוד, רביב ויוסי מלמן בספרם “כל נסיך מרגלים” כתבו שאינדונזיה נכנסה למערכת יחסים עם המוסד. לדבריו, המוסד שלח שליח, צוות מעמדת המוסד בסינגפור לג’קרטה ולאחר מכן קיים שיחות שהובילו את ישראל להסכים לקיים אימון צבאי עבור הצבא האינדונזי והמודיעין שלו. המוסד ראה שיחסי המודיעין בין אינדונזיה לישראל היא בחירה טובה, ואז המודיעין הישראלי פתח את הנציג הראשון שלו בג’קרטה במסווה של סחר, ואילו אינדונזיה שלחה גם אנשי צבא לישראל כדי להתאמן.

Since its intervention in the Syrian war, and particularly in recent times, Iran has been trying to “permanently” sign in Syria and open military bases to which it sends its militias, which strengthen its survival in this country.
At the same time, Russia, which is constantly announcing the return of forces from Syria, is strengthening its control of the Syrian coast and taking control of military bases belonging to the Syrian regime.
The Iranian bases
Damascus International Airport: The Iranians have a building near this airport. The mercenaries are in the building, and from there they are sent to the battle zone near Damascus alongside the Syrian army. According to a British report, the building has five floors and 180 rooms, and it houses thousands of fighters and commanders from all sectors: clandestine warfare, logistical services, the mercenary headquarters and the Iranian intelligence director. In addition, in this building are held millions of dollars.
There is also a new military base close to the scientific research center in Jamraya, on the outskirts of Damascus, a center responsible for developing chemical weapons for the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which has been bombed by Israel several times in recent years.
* Jebel Azan: Another base that Iran has is in the Jebel Azan area of the southern suburbs of Aleppo, where the Iranian militias are stationed, which includes a room for Iranian Revolutionary Guards and weapons stores.
* Quneira – The Iranians have taken over many areas in the region, including Tili Fatmeh, Khan Arnabeh and the town of al-Ba’t [close to the border with Israel], in which large groups of Iranian militias, Shuhada, Muhammad al-Bakr, Hezbollah forces, the Abu al-Fadel Abbas, the Iraqi woman, and another Afghan militia.
A-China airport: Iran also has Shiite militias that it transferred to the airport on Iranian planes – special planes for the transfer of soldiers and military equipment.
The airport of She’irat: At this base are Iranian officers who advise in battles in Syria.

Russian bases
* The Syrian coast, the bases at Tartus and warm: Russia is stationed on the Syrian coast officers and soldiers, heavy weapons and heavy war tools, and sees this area as a strategic place for anchoring battleships. From a warm base, dozens or even hundreds of air strikes in northern Syria come out on the day.
* Shirat Airport: At the end of 2015, Russia built facilities at the Sheirat military airport, bringing Sukhoi fighters, helicopters and hundreds of Russian soldiers to fight in the suburbs of Homs, Hamat and Aleppo.
* The Syrian regime gave Russia a base in butter, which serves as the headquarters of the air defense division in the city and contains missiles and arms depots in addition to Russian technicians and officers.
You can see that Russia and Iran are the Syrians in Syria, and that the Syrian regime has no choice but to accept the fact that its state is no longer its own.
South, West and Central-North Syria: controlled by Russia and Iran [and of course there are also parts of the south where there are rebels and an organization of Da’as].
Eastern Syria: under the control of the Americans, who are not even willing to see a Syrian / Russian / Iranian leg that has one inch in their territory.
Northern Syria: part controlled by the Kurds and part controlled by the Turks and the militias supporting it.
So far we have seen a civil war in Syria, mainly between the Syrian regime and rebels / terrorist organizations in the struggle for control of the territories in Syria. Will the civil war turn into a war between powers and civilizations over territories in Syria?
CRUISE MISSILE STRIKE GROUPS IN EAST MEDITERRANEAN, PERSIAN GULF AND RED SEA FOR POSSIBLE STRIKE AT SYRIA
LIVE UPDATES IN PROGRESS: The United States appears to be preparing a very large strike upon Syria. U.S. Navy Guided Missile Cruisers and Destroyers have been formed into strike groups in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, in the Red Sea and in the Persian Gulf.
Worse: Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reports US forces have trained terrorists in Syria’s southern de-escalation zone to use chemical weapons and are preparing a false flag attack, 20 tons of chlorine has been delivered to them.

UPDATE 12:04 PM EDT —
France’s foreign ministry tells reporters to stop all travel to Syria
DANGER: Russia has now said that unlike the last time, they will respond with military force and not only shoot down the missiles, but destroy whatever shot them.
That right there will change everything in an instant if that happens. WWIII WILL kick off, no going back once Russian forces directly attack U.S. forces.
When that happens, it will be on like Donkey Kong.

UPDATE 12:35 PM EDT —
Moments ago Russia air defense systems at Khmemeim Air Base in Latakia, Syria intercepted an unidentified object/s over the sea.
2 missiles were launched.
UPDATE 12:55 PM EST —
This is getting serious: Russian Army Chief of Staff says US been preparing sabotage groups at Al Tanf to stage chemical attacks to serve as pretext to attack SYRIA. According to Moscow, some of the subversive groups already transferred to Free Syrian Army (FSA) positions.
MoD claims some chemicals, dozens of detonating fuses disguised as packs of cigarettes been delivered to town of Dariya. More staged attacks being planned in towns of Al Ghabid, Qalb Loze 25 km NW of Idlib to where 20 containers of chlorine been delivered.
UPDATE 1:13 PM EDT —
Whatever the “object” was which was engaged by Russian Missiles fired from Syria, the object was downed successfully. Russia says it was flying from the northwest.
UPDATE 1:16 PM EDT —
Gen. Gerasimov, head of the Russian Army General Staff, said Russian military would “target any missiles and launchers involved in such an attack” including UScarriers, destroyers.
Some Russian military vessels now en route to Syria.
Moscow makes it clear it is not backing down.
UPDATE 1:19 PM EDT —
Russia directs strong representation to U.S. via diplomatic, military channels due to U.S. threats of strikes at Damascus – Lavrov
via Interfax News Service
ALSO: Astronomical twilight (the last phase) has given way to night in all of Syria, and is sweeping over Cyprus now.
UPDATE 1:36 PM EDT —
France confirms they have made a request to the USA and NATO allies about joint strikes on Syria in relation to alleged chlorine attacks by Assad. Thus, it appears that whatever is being set-up, its likely in response to French requests.
UPDATE 1:45 PM EDT —
I can now confirm USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT aircraft carrier, along with its strike group taken battle positions in the Persian Gulf.
In the Mediterranean Sea, the US 6th Fleet has deployed surface ships and submarine units.

UPDATE 1:50 PM EDT —
ANDY BLUMENTHAL HAS JUST TWEETED AND PRETTY MUCH GIVEN THE WHOLE THING AWAY:
See Andy Blumenthal’s other Tweets
Twitter Ads info and privacy
Blumenthal is Deputy Chief Operating Officer at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. Previously, served progressively as Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of State, Global Information Services; Chief Technology Officer, U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives; and Chief Enterprise Architect, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Coast Guard and Secret Service.
Here is what Bloomenthal says, in it’s entirety:
UPDATE 2:05 PM EDT —
A 30 character EAM was just broadcast on 8992.0 “EAM” means “Emergency Action Message” sent by the United States to certain military assets worldwide. An EAM is a “drop whatever you’re doing and do this first” type of message transmitted over the Global High Frequency Radio Network.
UPDATE 2:48 PM EDT —
The vessels mentioned above in the Update at 1:45 PM EDT, are all amphibious assault ships or their support ships. Meaning the potential of thousands of Marines are awaiting landing on Syria’s coastline along with their tanks APCs artillery and all the hell that comes with Marines right after the potential air attacks from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf.
Problem with this is Russians have large naval army and air assets at several bases Kmeimin and Tartus on the coast. If these air attacks take place and the Russians shoot them down. That’s it — there is no going back.
This will accelerate at break neck speed into chaos.
UPDATE 3:53 PM EDT —
From Greek News Service (Translated via Google)
‘While the maps depicting cruise missile routes of an American attack on Syria from the Mediterranean-Red-Persian Gulf (central photo) have already been released, Russia has already received the first attack on the Khmeimim air base. Russian air raids have broken one or more unknown objects, probably drone, which recorded the Russian movements’
US forces sent naval and air forces to control the region in the Mediterranean Sea, Jordan, Turkey, Cyprus and Iraq.
The situation around Syria continues to “boil” very dangerously.
The media do not officially give all the information related to the confrontation between Russia and the United States … obviously not to cause panic.
UPDATE 5:43 PM EDT *** BREAKING **** URGENT *** (NOTE: 9:06 AM EDT Sunday, this report is DISPUTED)
The Russian Chief of Staff has been officially informed by the United States of America that it would conduct military operations in Damascus within 48 hours.
Russia has informed Iran of this and Iran is moving anti-ship missile batteries to the mouth of the Persian Gulf. The USS Theodore Roosevelt and its strike group may not get out of the Persian Gulf alive.
The information directly above in this update is DISPUTED. The U.S. “usually” provides only ONE hour advance notice of military action in Syria.
VIDEO: RUSSIA TELLS U.S. NO MORE ATTACKS OR FACE MILITARY RESPONSE FROM RUSSIA
From the video: “Syrian Army won, they absolutely have no reason to use chemical weapons. They didn’t use when they needed it the most (before Russian help came) and was almost losing the war. Why should they use when they are winning hard and doing mop up operations in some non important parts of the country?
Russia basically saying US to not do this -but US doesn’t listen and will strike anyway. This time Russia will answer by using military means.
UPDATE
Here’s a map of what is located where in terms of U.S. and NATO naval deployments.
Look at all the guided-missile destroyers sit off the coast.
And, USS John Warner (SSN-785):
From wiki:
“This ship is the second of the Block III subs, which will have a revised bow and some technology from Ohio-class cruise missile submarines.[6] The vessel supports 40 weapons, special operations forces, unmanned undersea vehicles, Advanced SEAL Delivery System (ASDS).”
UPDATE 6:30 PM EDT —
Multiple reports of B2 Stealth Aircraft taking off from Whiteman AFB
UPDATE 7:00 PM EDT —
UN officials have been advised to leave Damascus urgently.
SUNDAY 18 MARCH 2018 :9:06 AM EDT —
firstly it is CONFIRMED that France is requesting journalists to leave Syria. It is also CONFIRMED that the UN have been asked to move from Damascus.
France CONFIRMED they HAVE asked to form a coalition to strike the Assad regime in response to chlorine attacks.
It is DISPUTED that the US have informed Russia of any strikes in Syria at this time. Normal procedure is to give the Russian’s about 1 hour warning. There has been no warning yet.
The carrier group in the region is on usual station; it is supposed to be there. That said, it is CONFIRMED that cruise missile equipped ships are indeed positioning in various places.
It is also CONFIRMED there has been some deployment of bomber aircraft out of the USA.
In sum, there is certainly some prep work going on but I don’t think the go signal has been given yet. That said, plenty of pieces moving on the board.
UPDATE SUN. 18 MARCH 3:57 PM EDT —
Below is map showing the previous deployment of forces in the eastern Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria in 2013. I am told that the PRESENT deployment is larger and that “this is an explosion waiting to happen . . .”
A total of five Russian warships, frigates and corvettes, two refueling ships, an electronic escort ship and three submarines equipped with cruise missiles (conventional propulsion but two of the new Kilo II class) are currently east of Crete.
MCCAUL RELEASES MARCH TERROR THREAT SNAPSHOT
Washington, D.C. – House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) today released March’s Terror Threat Snapshot, a monthly assessment of the Committee’s continuing effort to highlight the growing threat America, the West, and the world face from ISIS and other Islamist terrorists.
Chairman McCaul: “ISIS remains a dynamic and continuing threat to the West and the homeland. The recent State Department terrorist designations of several ISIS-affiliated groups and key leaders from around the world will help degrade ISIS’ global network by denying them the resources to spread hatred and terror. We must redouble our efforts to deny terrorist entry into America by better working with our allies and ensuring our vetting efforts are as streamlined and effective as possible.”
Key Points:
The U.S. Department of State designated seven ISIS-affiliated groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) and two ISIS-affiliated individuals as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT). The groups are ISIS-West Africa, ISIS-Philippines, ISIS-Bangladesh, ISIS-Somalia, ISIS-Egypt, Jund al-Khilafah-Tunisia, and the Maute Group. The individuals are Mahad Moalim and Abu Musab al-Barnawi. The designation as a SDGT and FTO prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with them, and their assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction were blocked and seized. Assisting them with any material support is now criminal as well.
In a continuing effort to cut off terrorist financing opportunities, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on six people and seven entities responsible for funding Hezbollah. Most of them are tied to Adham Tabaj, one of the terrorist group’s top financiers, and his company Al-Inmaa Engineering and Contracting. The firms are located in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Lebanon, and Ghana.
As ISIS loses its geographic presence, fighters continue to return to their home countries. Russia had the highest number of fighters go to Syria and Iraq with an estimated 3,417, and 400 have returned. Saudi Arabia was next with roughly 3,244, of which 760 have returned. Jordan was third with approximately 3,000, of which 250 have returned. Tunisia followed with 2,926, of which 800 have returned. France was fifth with 1,910, of which 271 have returned, according to a report from The Soufan Center.
Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, the last two of the notorious ISIS group referred to as “The Beatles” were captured by Syrian Kurd forces in eastern Syria. The group was responsible for several high-profile executions, including Alan Henning, James Foley, Steven Sotloff. Mohammed Emwazi, aka Jihadi John, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Raqqa. The fourth member, Aine Lesley Davis, was arrested in Turkey, and is currently imprisoned.
The complete March Terror Threat Snapshot is available, here.
