Israel attitude about Ukraine dodge
Recently the United States and Israel eventually is offended, but this time not for the Middle East peace process, but in Ukraine, the performance of Israel make us very uncomfortable. America's closest ally in the "critical moment" no force pretty big brother, but with a thing have nothing to hide, hide, one wonders if what Israel played behind "career".
The United Nations security council resolution held on March 27, is the Crimean referendum vote, Israel's u.n. representative was strangely absent. America has outraged, require Israel to explain. Diplomat was on strike, is the cause of Israel to give effect to the ministry of foreign affairs work, so there is no vote, but this explanation is obviously difficult to satisfy us. U.S. and Israeli official sources have revealed that, in view of Israel to take a neutral stance, the U.S. government to Israel expressed dissatisfaction.
The Obama administration a year provide $3 billion in military aid to Israel, while Russia from time to time to the hostile countries to provide support for Israel, most vote also against Israel at the United Nations. The United States thought has internal forces backing for Israel at the United Nations, Israel, in the absence of the key when voting is not understand "honest Abe".
"Strike" this excuse has left America complained, Israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman's public speech simply tong unveil plans, more let us embarrassed. Lieberman in a television interview: "we all keep trust relationship with the United States and Russia, I can't understand why Israel needs to get involved in crisis in Ukraine." Senior officials at the ministry of Israel expressed more directly: "Israeli policies based on its own security interests, may not always be consistent with the United States".
It is obvious that Israel didn't want to anger in Moscow. In the Middle East, Israel this practice is certainly want to find a balance between the us and Russia, both don't want to annoy the putin, don't want to openly against the United States. For the children of Israel, dealing with u.s.-russian relations are more complicated than the imagination, rounded way is not easy. Involving Russia in Iran, Syria, Israel has had a huge impact on the question of core interests, it is because of this, the children of Israel, just don't want to in a has nothing to do with oneself of Ukraine and Russia have been languishing. In some domestic public opinion, also thinks for Israel, in Ukraine, makes some compromise is better than americans to provoke Russia.
Of course, to placate America, Israel also symbolically made some gestures. Israeli prime minister Benjamin netanyahu announced the end of in st. Petersburg was scheduled for June to commemorate concert in Russian cultural exchange. But I am afraid, a move that is difficult to satisfy the americans, because at the same time, a Russian official delegation is on a visit to Israel, to discuss public transportation safety problem.
