Well, of course not, It would be an untenable arrangement. The removal of the Baaths should be enough for Israel right now, Demanding that we allow Israeli companies to rebuild Iraq is just greedy and unwise. The level of anti-Israeli sentiment is overwhelming, it would be needlessly provocative to let Israel participate.

I thought the actual wording from Wolfowitz said that only those nations that provided troops to the coalition would be eligible for the 26 contracts. Israel didn't provide troops (at least not that they admit to), so, no contract. I don't see this as anti-Israel in any way, it's just the terms of the deal.
