이스라엘 대통령, 이란제재 무신경한 유럽방문

Israeli leaders visit Europe as EU foreign ministers dump Iran sanctions

이스라엘 대통령과 총리와 외무장관이 베를린과 부다페스트를 방문, 이란 제재에 불투명하게 대응하는 유럽연합을 방문하여 이란 제재를 확고히 하려는 계획으로 베를린에서 연설하였습니다. 네탄야후 총리는 오늘날 유대인들을 멸족시키기 위해 새로운 무기를 개발하는 자들이 있는데 인류에 대한 도전이며 우리는 이 악의 세력이 그 촉수를 펴기 전에 국제사회가 어떻게 대응하는지 볼 것이라고 했습니다.

그러나 6개국 중 중국과 러시아는 이란에 대해 불확실한 입장을 보이며 외교에 대해서도 그들의 거부권을 행사할 수 있기로 유럽의 불투명한 제재에 관련해서는 이스라엘이 내내 침묵하였다는 것입니다. 그러나 유럽연합 외교장관은 이 연합국의 일치된 동의가 있어야만 이란을 제재할 수 있다고 말하며 이란 제재에 관련한 이스라엘의 부탁은 환상에 지나지 않는다는 것을 각 총리들은 미리 알고 있었다는 내용인데 이스라엘에게 참 냉소적이네요. 아랍예루살렘 분할을 놓고 유럽의 무언의 압박 같은 것으로 이해됩니다.

Israeli leaders visit Europe as EU foreign ministers dump Iran sanctions

Israel's president, prime minister and foreign minister are visiting Berlin, Warsaw and Budapest this week, apparently impervious to the European Union foreign ministers' decision in Brussels Monday, Jan. 25, to back away from sanctions for Iran's nuclear program outside the UN Security Council.

German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle signed off on the motion, the day before Israeli president Shimon Peres' Hebrew address to the German parliament in Berlin.
debkafile: The Netanyahu government clings to the anchor of supposed international sanctions for halting Iran's advance on a nuclear weapon. Monday, before traveling to Poland, prime minister Netanyahu said at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial museum:  "Today there are new Jew haters with new reasons to destroy the Jewish people. This is a test for humanity, and we will see in the coming weeks how the international community will stop the evil before it spreads."
Well, he had his answer than same afternoon, yet this eloquence vanished on the plane trips to Europe.
None of the Israeli travelers have commented on the decision by the European foreign ministers to dump the sanctions option in the laps of Russia and China, knowing their vetoes are committed in advance and that both stand out for more diplomatic engagement plus concessions to Tehran.  The EU foreign ministers stated: "With Iran, [sanctions] will work out only if all the UN Security Council permanent members agree." Every one of those ministers was fully aware that this proposition was a fantasy.

If Israel counted on Washington staying the course, there too there are signs of cold feet. The Obama has reduced the target of possible unilateral measures to the Revolutionary Guards Corps which is responsible for Iran's nuclear program, in order to avoid harming the Iranian people.

As debkafile has stressed before, the Revolutionary Guards have umpteen mostly criminal ways of beating sanctions: They run a vast network of straw companies worldwide and move money around through international crime, smuggling, terror and drug conduits out of America's reach rather than the banking system.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi are undoubtedly Israel's best friends on the European continent, but they too conduct a dual policy on Iran. They sternly denounce Iran, while at the same time hundreds of German and Italian companies do business with the Islamic Republic, some even selling components for its missile and nuclear programs. Indeed, German and Italian firms are in tight competition over the Iranian market, with the latter reportedly gaining the edge this year.
No German transaction with Iran has been cancelled under Israeli pressure contrary to reports to this effect.
The most realistic European leader is French president Nicolas Sarkozy who Tuesday, Jan. 26, called for new and different steps to be pursued to halt Iran's dash for a nuclear bomb. Still, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner did not hold out against his colleagues consensus in Brussels.
