Breaking news on the Israeli national security state

KGB INFILTRATED HIGHEST ECHELONS OF ISRAEL’S ARMY, BUSINESS, AND POLITICAL

NOTE: I originally wrote this piece for Mint Press News. Its editor, Mnar
Muhawesh, killed the piece, which caused me to sever my relationship with Mint
Press, an outlet I’d contributed to for several years. These are hard blows,
but ones independent journalists face regularly (I know I have).

Mint Press provided a significant portion of the freelance income I earned. As
a result of losing this outlet, I am turning to readers to reaffirm their
support for the unprecedented look I provide beneath the covers of the Israeli
national security state. Now, in the age of Trump, independent journalism
focusing on national security issues is both more threatened and more critical
than ever.

I will be publishing a post in the coming days summarizing the major stories I
broke over the past year. I hope you will respond favorably and open your
wallets to support what I do. To get a head start, look to the sidebar for the

While sifting through the notes of a former KGB archivist in England, Israeli
investigative journalist Ronen Bergman realized that the Russian spy service’s
penetration of Israel was far more extensive than previously known.

Despite the many successes of the Shin Bet in exposing spies, scores of Israelis
in the political world, the military, and private industry spied for the Soviets
for decades without ever being suspected, much less caught.

The Israeli military censor compelled Bergman to suppress the names of the most
damaging of the KGB spies working in Israel in a three-part series published in
recent weeks by Ynet (part one, part two, part three). In part four of his
series, Bergman secured the cooperation of an Israeli triple agent who worked
for the CIA, KGB and Shabak. The ex-spy agreed to be interviewed and for his
identity to be exposed. But the IDF censor, Col. Ariella Ben Avraham, so
eviscerated the proposed article that it could not be published. As a result,
it will be some time before we learn this individual’s identity. Given that the
former spy agreed to be identified and the incident presumably occurred decades
ago, one wonders what the censor is protecting…except her own power and
prerogative to render secret what should be known in any other democratic
society.

“Shomroni,” the KGB spy sent by the Soviet KGB to spy on Israel, who later
became a Shabak double agent. Photo from Kiev circa 1971 (A. Diamant)

In the early 1980s, Israel’s Shin Bet “turned” a KGB agent planted in the wave
of Soviet Jewish emigration that flooded Israel beginning in the 1970s. This
double agent exposed the identity of the KGB’s most valuable spy in Israel. As a
reward, the Shin Bet opened doors for him to become the first and most powerful
corporate lobbyist and political fixer in the country. He is on a first-name
basis with powerful world leaders, from Bill Clinton to Avigdor Lieberman, and
is fabulously wealthy.

In a 2008 article for Ynet, Bergman revealed the Shin Bet code name of a man who
was sent to Israel as a KGB spy and became a double agent after Israeli
intelligence “turned” him. “Shomroni,” as the Shin Bet called him, got his
start in the early 1970s, when he was a prominent Jewish dissident in Kiev.
After massive international protest, Russia finally began opening its doors to
permit Jewish emigration in 1972. He was among the first of the 1-million Soviet
Jews released over the next two decades who settled in Israel. When he left his
homeland in 1972, he had already been recruited by the Soviet spy service.

The Shin Bet had already exposed spies recruited by the KGB and sent into Israel
among the streams of Russian immigrants, so it was taking great precautions,
including interviewing every prospective emigre. Something in the answers
“Shomroni” gave his interrogators aroused suspicion. He was handed over to the
head of the agency, Yossi Ginossar, who grilled “Shomroni” mercilessly for hours
until the Russian spy broke and confessed.

But “Shomroni” wasn’t prosecuted or imprisoned. The agency had other plans for
him.

The Shin Bet knew they had another Soviet agent in their midst, but they just
couldn’t identify him. So they “turned” “Shomroni” and set him loose as a double
agent. He exploited the trust the KGB had placed in him, parlaying this into
eventually outing the highest level Soviet spy inside Israel, Marcus Klingberg.

Marcus Klingberg, aka ‘Rok’

Marcus Klingberg survived the Holocaust by fleeing Poland and escaping to the
Soviet Union just before war broke out. The rest of his family perished in
Treblinka. After the war, he emigrated to Sweden, where he was reportedly
recruited by the KGB.

He got married and moved to Israel in 1948. He became a leading microbiologist
within a decade, and eventually worked his way up to the role of deputy director
of the Israel Institute for Biological Research, the secretive Israeli
government defense research institution. All the while, as an agent with the
code name “Rok,” he provided the Soviets with the results of Israel’s chemical
and biological weapons experiments.

By 1977, Klingberg sensed that Israeli security services had grown suspicious of
him, so he broke off all contact with his Soviet handlers. They were mystified
and sought to reestablish communication with him through other means. In the
early 1980s, they tasked two former Jewish dissidents, Shabtai Kalmanovich and
“Shomroni,” with reaching out to Klingberg via secret codes left in his Tel Aviv
mailbox. Kalmanovich, who spent 17 years as a KGB spy in Israel, failed to make
contact with Klingberg.

In 1987, after the ex-Russian KGB agent was arrested abroad for writing millions
in bad checks, he was sent back to Israel and promptly arrested by the Shin Bet.
He spent five years in an Israeli prison. On his release, he returned to Russia
and resumed his career as a businessman with reputed close mob ties. In 2009, he
was murdered in Moscow in a professional hit which was never solved.

Though what exactly transpired between the “Shomroni” and Klingberg remains
unknown, the former was somehow able to expose the latter as a master spy. In
1983, the Shin Bet kidnapped Klingberg, torturing and interrogating him for ten
days. At the end of that period, he signed a confession. He was secretly
arrested, tried, convicted, and handed a 20-year prison sentence. Like Ben
Zygier and Mordechai Vanunu, he was placed in solitary confinement. Foreign
journalists who sought him out during the ten years he spent in solitary were
told by Israeli officials that he was placed in a European asylum after
suffering from a mental breakdown. Only his wife knew what had really happened,
but she was sworn to secrecy.

Much like Zygier, Klingberg was imprisoned under a false name and profession.
After suffering several strokes, Amnesty International appealed for Klingberg’s
release on humanitarian grounds. Even after 39 Knesset members appealed for his
release, the Defense Ministry’s intelligence service, Malmab, objected, arguing
that Klingberg’s “mind contains information he is not aware of.”

“Klingberg’s lawyers were stumped: there was no defense against charges about
things he did not know that he knew,” Peter Pringle wrote for The Guardian in
2014. Yet this is the same perverse argument used to punish Mordechai Vanunu and
prevent his emigration from Israel.

When Klingberg was released to house arrest in 1998, he was forced to pay for
surveillance cameras and guards who monitored his movements. To do so, he had to
sell his apartment. In 2003, when his sentence had been served in full, he left
to live with his daughter in Paris.

Klingberg worked with his lawyer, Michael Sfard, to write “The Last Spy,” an
account of his life published in 2007. It has been translated and published in a
number of other languages, but unfortunately not yet in English. It would make
an amazing thriller.

The Shin Bet turned a KGB double agent into Israel’s most powerful lobbyist

When the Soviet Union fell in 1991, “Shomroni” ceased his relationship with his
Soviet paymasters, transferring all the funds the Soviets gave him to the Shin
Bet. In turn, he was rewarded handsomely for his efforts. The Shin Bet
promised to open doors to the most powerful levels of Israeli society on
“Shomroni”’s behalf. And they did. “Shomroni” became Israel’s first lobbyist,
basically establishing the industry before proceeding to conquer it.

He spent a decade as a close political advisor to Shimon Peres in the latter’s
days of electoral politics. “Shomroni” is favored among prime ministers,
oligarchs and CEOs, including Israel’s major defense contractors and all of its
cellphone companies — some 90 in all. He’s lobbied for some of the worst, most
anti-consumer legislation in the Knesset. He opposed a bill that would’ve forced
Israel’s largest grocery chain to list prices on products. He fought a law which
would’ve limited bank fees for his client, Bank Hapoalim.

He’s also defended some of Israel’s most corrupt politicians as a political
consultant, including Aryeh Deri, the current minister of interior and former
chief of the major Mizrahi political party, Shas, who was imprisoned on
corruption charges in the early 2000s. The lobbyist is also pals with Sheldon
Adelson, the casino magnate who financed the political rise of Benjamin
Netanyahu, and Idan Ofer, an Israeli oligarch and shipping tycoon.

The influence of “Shomroni” is felt in international business circles, and he’s
one of the few in the Israeli lobbying community to have so many clients and
interests around the world. Procter & Gamble and Goldman Sachs are among those
who summon him for meetings around the world. He lobbied on behalf of Philip
Morris in order continue cigarette advertising in Israel.

He’s known Bill Clinton for years. He lives the good life, smoking $1,000 cigars
and ordering bottles of wine worth thousands of dollars in the finest
restaurants, exploiting these assets along with his personal charm. In
portraying his deal-making acumen, he’s also not above comparing himself to “the
greatest of Russian actors.” On a 1984 grand tour of the United States with
other young Israeli political activists, he promised: “I’ll get rich yet from
politics.” And so he has.

It’s the height of irony that the former dissident who spearheaded the
resistance movement against Soviet repression of its Jewish community,
eventually became the champion of the Israeli corporate élite and their
oligarchic wealth.

Yet, even today, the vast majority of Israelis can’t connect the dots between
“Shomroni,” the double agent who worked for the KGB, and one of Israel’s most
influential lobbyists. Indeed, because of his singular achievements, Israel’s
intelligence apparatus has worked fiercely to protect his identity.

Boris Krasny, Israel’s corporate fixer and Israeli ex-double agent

In 2010, I reported the existence of a then-unnamed double agent based on a
report published by News1. The Israeli media site had a blacked-out partial
image of him. I could not find the uncensored original. Even his code name had
not yet been reported publicly.

When a Knesset minister spoke at a conference last year about the stifling role
played by lobbying on Israel’s political process, he mentioned “Shomroni” by his
real name. Though the speaker revealed nothing about the former spy’s past, the
military censor immediately embargoed this information. The event’s sponsor, the
Israel Democracy Institute, was prevented from releasing its audio recording of
the MK’s talk.

‘Shomroni’ is Boris Krasny

Putin sharing a bon mots with his pal, Yvet: the Kremlin’s man in Tel Aviv or
Israel’s man in Moscow?

A confidential Israeli source has positively identified “Shomroni” as Boris
Krasny, whose lobbying firm is known as Policy. Krasny is also known to be a
close friend of Avigdor Lieberman, himself a focus of suspicion regarding his
own corrupt business dealings. In addition, Lieberman is widely suspected within
Israeli intelligence circles of being a Russian asset embedded amongst Israel’s
political élite.

KGB Spy, Code-Named Bejan

Bergman also tells (Nana recounts the story at 3:05 of this news report) of a
Soviet-Jew born in south-central Russia in the mid-1950s. He studied
engineering and was considered quite proficient in his field of study. The spy,
whose code– name was Bejan, was recruited to an elite Soviet espionage school,
where he was trained in the field of spycraft. He made aliyah to Israel and was
inducted into the IDFsraeli Defense Forces shortly thereafter. He joined the
officer training course and from there rose quickly in the ranks until he was
appointed the chief of one of the army’s most critical infrastructure ventures.

Bejan was privy to a multitude of highly secret material, including the location
of bases, infrastructure facilities, data on the order of battle, and
preparations for future wars. After retiring from the IDF, he turned to various
jobs in the private industry sector. Later, he was appointed by Avigdor
Lieberman, who himself has often been rumored to be a Russian intelligence
asset, to a senior post. Then, suddenly, Bejan disappeared in 2005. He has
not been heard from since.

He is not the first person in Lieberman’s circle to suffer a strange, mysterious
fate. News1 detailed the circumstances in which several key witnesses in the
last Lieberman corruption investigation either committed suicide, disappeared,
or “forgot” key elements of their previous testimony. Among them are Michael
Falkov, a Lieberman communications advisor who disappeared in 2014. Yosef
Shuldiner was found shot to death in an Israeli cemetery in 2006. Artium
Borovik, a senior Russian journalist close to the Kremlin, whom Lieberman used
to lobby on behalf of his business ventures, died in a mysterious plane crash in
2008. Daniella Mourtzi was the corporate accountant for five Cyprus-based
Lieberman companies which were fronts. She was to testify as part of the
government investigation into Lieberman’s shady business dealings about his
ownership of the companies. But before her time came to testify, she suddenly
developed amnesia and couldn’t recall a thing. Another witness in Moldova (where
Lieberman was born) was interrogated and shortly afterward had a fatal stroke.

Krasny, Shabak, and Israeli Kleptocracy

This collusion between “Shomroni” and the Shin Bet, and the massive network of
influence the spy created, confirm that Israel has become a rather ordinary
kleptocratic Middle East backwater in which virtually anything of value is for
sale and can be bought by the highest bidder — or someone who scratched the
auctioneer’s back in just the right place.

Gone are the days when Israel aspired to be, according to the famous Zionist
dictum, a “light unto the nations.” Now, Israel has become much like the KGB’s
Soviet Russia. Former emigres like Lieberman, Krasny and Natan Sharansky; and
former Russian oligarchs like Arcadi Gaydamak, Mikhail Fridman, and Leonid
Nevzlin, have imported the nepotism, paranoia, and oligarchism of post-Soviet
Russia to Zion.

How did Natan Sharansky got into the list at the end of your article?
The guy sat in Soviet prison for almost a decade as a refusenik. He got several
award as a human rights activist from the US government.

@ Jim: Do not choose a handle like “Jim” which a thousand other commenters here
might assume. We will never be able to tell you apart. And read the comment
rules which note this request.

In fact, most Russian dissidents of that era believe strongly that Sharansky was
alternately a KGB and Shabak spy. Dr. Yuli Nudelman and Ira Nudel testified that
he was a spy. Though Sharansky won a libel trial against Nudelman (I don’t put
much stock in Israeli justice when it comes to holding the powerful
accountable), many dissidents in Israel I know continue maintaining he was no
hero, but rather a KGB plant who betrayed his comrades.

But even if he wasn’t, his role since then as a well paid apparachik of the
Israeli Likud regime has branded him forever as a darling of the neocons.

Does Elisabeth stand apart?

“most Russian dissidents of that era believe strongly that Sharansky was

Either the ridicules facts or the that many people believe that!

@Jim: I told you to change your handle to something more specific than “Jim.” If
you don’t then you won’t be commenting here.

Dr. Nudelman wrote an entire book about Sharansky. Read it or his website where
he details his claims.

Concerning Marcus Klingberg: his grandson, Ian Brossat, is a member of Paris
City Council for the French Communist Party, he’s in favor of BDS and posted
pictures and tweets during his last stay in Palestine a couple of months ago
(pictures with the wife of Marwan Barghouthi among others), he also tweeted how
he was treated at Ben Gourion while leaving, they were curious to know ‘what
kind of Jew’ he was. Ian Brossat wrote a book last year about his grandfather
(shortly before he died) to whom he was very close, and he has explained in an
interview that during his childhood he went to Israeli with his mother to visit
his grandfather in prison.
