#1 This sems like awfully good news. What a November.

Were the French told? Perhaps they got the wrong date and that is what explains the sub visit.

#3 Seven exercises were proposed to the IDF, including training that will take place in Ukraine in June.

Putin shuts down his Rantburg window and goes to Brussels.

Putin (busting down the door): "Vait, my friends, I hear that the Beslan region is nice in June. Vu don't vanna go doo Ukraine, dah?" (sorry, my Russian's not what it used to be.)

#4 "..possibility of operating in Gaza."
I can think of no better location for an anti-terrorist excercise. Might I suggest that Israel lead this one?

#5 Where the French told? Well the French have a very special position in Nato, perhaps their opinion wasn't asked.

#6 First, let me point out that this is just a hunch. I'll bet certain NATO member Nations are well aware of the invite to the Israel, and support it fully (behind the scenes mostly) because they can learn a lot from the Israelis.
Perhaps even as a way to spy on the abilities of a potential foe. Can anyone say Cockerel?
