Thread: Britain & France recalling their ambassadors to Israel ?

Britain considers recalling Israel envoy: source

3:55am EST
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Britain is considering recalling its ambassador to Israel to protest at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to expand settlement building, a diplomatic source said on Monday.
Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported that France was also considering withdrawing its envoy.
Both embassies declined to comment on the reports, but the British issued a statement saying they had made clear they would not support strong Israeli retaliation to a U.N. vote last week that gave the Palestinians de facto recognition of statehood.
"The recent Israeli government decision to build 3,000 new housing units threatens the two-state solution and makes progress through negotiations harder to achieve," the British embassy in Tel Aviv said.
"We have called on the Israeli government to reconsider."
A diplomatic source, who declined to be named, said London would decide later in the day whether to recall its ambassador.
Such a move by both London and Paris would represent a severe diplomatic reproach to Netanyahu. Israel's Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon told Israeli Army Radio he was not aware of any recall.
"I did not hear of this, either via the foreign ministry or the prime minister's office. Therefore I have a hard time believing it is true," he said.
Netanyahu has brushed off world condemnation of his latest settlement plans, which were announced on Friday just hours after the United Nations voted overwhelming to upgrade the Palestinians' diplomatic status.
"We will carry on building in Jerusalem and in all the places that are on the map of Israel's strategic interests," Netanyahu said on Sunday at a weekly cabinet meeting.
Besides authorizing 3,000 new homes in and around Jerusalem, the Israeli government also agreed to expedite planning work for thousands more homes on barren land near Jerusalem that critics say would kill off Palestinian hopes of creating a viable state.
In another blow to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, Israel announced on Sunday it was withholding Palestinian tax revenues this month worth about $100 million.
Israel said it was taking the money to help cover a Palestinian debt of $200 million with the Israeli Electric Corporation.

no israeli envoy anymore in egypt (after mubarak, israeli ambassador was almost lynched), and neither in turkey (was lynching at the edge as well, flotilla massacre)....

all thanks to bibis blunder and extremist maneuvers...

the palestinian UN move - that singled out israel in the international community - could have been easily avoided, when the israeli government would go into negotations...
what they dont... some clowns might physically appear, but they dont negotiate... they even reject to take on written proposals of the palestinians...

the israeli population doent like that at all...
but will they really again vote for this idiot...?

Why have either French or British Embassy's in Israel? Both spineless cnuts anyway.

Indeed. American diplomacy of bombing weddings is much better.

Why not, the fuckers were planning a missal attack. Can't you get anything right? Like I said, spinless backstabbers.

Nothing says "Congratulations" like a cluster bomb.

What part of Palestine do you like? The graveyard.

Same goes for Pakistan.

P.C. enough for you?

About fking time , The world should of stopped giving Isreal support when they first started the land grabbing . The UN should send in troops to reclaim all the land grabbed by Isreal .They should also do something about crimes against humanity/war crimes that Isreal have commited.

Why doesn't the US send it troops or are they afraid the Israelis might actually have a capable army to fight back with?

israeli military goes to the US to
- train jet pilots
- train tank soldiers
- etc etc etc

not unlikely, that the CIA could shut down their booth, if they hadnt mossad information and sources...

israel is the TOP arms developer (design)...
and possibly of other "sciences" as well...

thats (imo) the secret of that "strong alliance"...
the US is dependend on them...

the prove ? obama needed long time (he was quite a while in office already) to understand, that he has to succumb to israel...
its not about "jewish voters"...

Well, spineless perhaps.

Highly hypocritical and contradictory to their means. As either [including the Americans] has a sterling history in the region.

Political dancing.
Bullshittery.

See, now at risk of being binned by some short-sighted mod, I have to ask the question.

How does someone making a statement like that, for instance, for the 765,875,299th time make it a worthwhile observation/post/comment?

I'm slightly puzzled, and slightly sceptical of it's usefulness.

If you don't realize by now that repeating the same old tired lines is not stopping the killing or making any difference to the situation, you never will.

Maybe it's the noises we make, not the results that we achieve, that's important?

there is nothing wrong with israel and most countries have their embassy in tel aviv, not jerusalem (disputed territory)...

the conflict/dispute is about the occupied territories (west bank)...

If true, this is god news

Perhaps. Yet, only a surfaced diplomatic gesture.

Now, if one could envision an Amer-Anglo-Franco triad cutting ties financially, politically, and militarily - one might find a different state of Israel.

Never happen. The strong Jewish lobby in the U.K. will throw a wobbly and that will be that. Just political gesturing to show disapproval , as if the Israelies give a hoot.

Yeah

How much skunk do we have stored, mate ?

Still it wouldn't last

The Stock, that is

Russia has also shown disapproval, so that's 3 out of 5 permanent members. If China were to follow suit it would leave the US out on a limb....well under diplomatic pressure at least...

Zionists need to be reeled back a peg or two....
