CAIRO, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Omar Suleiman, now vice president of Egypt, promised Israel he would keep Hamas from taking over Gaza, a U.S. diplomatic cable states.
The cable, revealed by WikiLeaks to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, says Maj.-Gen. Amos Gilad, chief of the Israeli Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau, secretly visited Suleiman, then the Egyptian intelligence boss, in September 2005 and then recounted the visit to U.S. diplomats.
