State of Israel
Security Classification: Encrypted
Recipient: Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, Minister of Defence, Arab Republic of Egypt (Thomas R. Jones)
I, alongside many of my advisers have been conducting research on products to introduce into the Israel Defense Force and we have came across the S-300 missile system that we would like to introduce into our arsenal to protect the Middle Eastern region for many years to come. The Egyptian Government has been a great friend to the State of Israel over the past few months and order dependant will come to a high price and we would like to work a deal out to pay the cost through an installment package.
I look forward to hearing your response.
Regards,
Avigdor Lieberman
Minister of Defense
