Diskin: Fatah asked us to attack Hamas

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Fatah faction in 2007 asked Yuval Diskin, the head of the Israeli general security apparatus the Shabak, to attack Hamas in the Gaza Strip, an American document published by Wikileaks revealed.

The cable (document) was sent from the American ambassador to Israel Richard Jones to the state department after a meeting with Diskin in 2007. It quoted Diskin as saying that Fatah had reached "a rock bottom status and was asking Israel to attack Hamas, which is a new, unprecedented development, they have lost hope".

Diskin also opposed arming Fatah elements in Gaza fearing that Hamas might take control of them in response to the American General Keith Dayton's request to fight Hamas.

The new information was leaked as an Israeli website said on Monday that the Israeli foreign intelligence the Mossad had agreed with the founder of the Wikileaks website Julian Assange not to publish any document that might hurt Israel's security or diplomatic interests.

Veterans Today said, “Assange met with Israeli officials in Geneva earlier this year and struck the secret deal. The Israel government, it seems, had somehow found out or expected that the documents to be leaked contained a large number of documents about the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza in 2006 and 2008-9 respectively. These documents, which are said to have originated mainly from the Israeli embassies in Tel Aviv and Beirut, where removed and possibly destroyed by Assange, who is the only person who knows the password that can open these documents”
