Ukrainian authorities imposed a ban on the disclosure of information about the incident. It was determined that the victim - not the ordinary Israelite. In the recent past Michael Falkov, born in 1977, was the staff Advisor to the Chairman of the Likud 's Benjamin Netanyahu, Avigdor Lieberman, who now holds the post of Minister of foreign Affairs. Falkov had friendly relations with another member of the government - Minister of economy Naftali-Bennett. He was Falkov's supervisor during Falkov's years at Netanyahu.
In the NSDC they don't exclude that this personal moment can play a role in the [future] reaction of tel Aviv to the Ukrainian events. Yet Israel did not support the sanctions imposed by the West against Russia. But foreign Minister Liberman maintains warm relations with the new Kiev authorities. Therefore, Ukrainian officials are trying to convince the Israelis that Falkov allegedly was the victim of the Russian security services.
Falkov's death was the real cause of the sudden three-day visit of Israeli parliamentarians on Ukraine 19-22 August. Arrived in Kiev, Deputy interior Minister Faina Kirschenbaum, Chairman of the parliamentary Commission on foreign Affairs and defense Zeev Elkin, the Deputy Alex Miller. According to the information of the Ukrainian Embassy in Tel Aviv, these three had a many years long business relationship with Falkov. Kirschenbaum concurrently holds the post of Director General of the party of Lieberman. When Falkov was a strategic Advisor Lieberman, Kirschenbaum was his direct boss.
In recent years, until the end of April last year, Falkov was considered to be the owner and editor of one of the Russian [web]sites in Israel. His task was to serve the interests of the party of Lieberman in the media market. Falkov even used this website as a cover to collect compromising information about officials and businessmen in Russia and Ukraine who have Israeli citizenship, property or relatives in this country. Another object of his interests was Israeli officials, politicians, businessmen, immigrants from the former Soviet Union. With clients of Falkov's confidential information usually brought Kirschenbaum. That's why her work was covered on Falkov's website more often than other Israeli politicians.
In connection with the death in the Donbass former adviser to Netanyahu and Lieberman begs several questions. First, was he in the war zone on his own or was sent there by the former executives? If the second option, then what is the purpose? This raises the question about the real interests of Tel Aviv in the Ukrainian conflict. And finally, the most unexpected question. A few years ago the Deputy Elkin told the colleague from the Federation Council that the so-called Falkov's archive consists of hundreds of folders, which collected information on thousands of Russian-speaking Israelis and hundreds of Russian and Ukrainian officials and businessmen. I wonder where, how and who "POPs" these materials after Falkov's death?
