Was Aoun Aware Of Fayez Karam’s Relationship With Israel?

September 23, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

It’s always the “anonymous sources” that come up with the juicy stuff:

Karam confessed that he had visited Aoun’s resident in Rabiyeh during the July war, telling him: General, you know about my relation with an officer in Israel’s intelligence services, who nowadays became a diplomat in London, so what do you say if I suggest to him that you become the mediator between them (Israel) and Hizbullah in order to end the war and then you’d play the heroic role before everybody?

The source goes on to speculate that this is the reason why Mr. Aoun is on an angry campaign against the ISF. A campaign that Jamil el Sayyed obligingly joined.

One more thing. Check out the picture in the article and tell me that Naharnet doesn’t have a sense of humor.
