There are numerous ways. Presuming you define Israel's foreign policy as synonymous with Ohlmert’s positions given his 10% or so approval rating, the most serious disagreement is over Jerusalem. Israel’s policy if firmly opposed to division, in fact it’s illegal for Ohlmert to agree to that position. It will lead to the fall of the government if non-Kadima leaders are to be believed. Since that, among other things, is among GWB’s priorities, it probably wouldn’t hurt to extend the courtesy of accepting a meeting with Ohlmert’s likely successor should Jerusalem be officially put on the table.
And what is the official Israeli policy with regard to the Arabs living in Jerusalem? Please explain the official Israeli policy on what is to be done with the Arabs in Jerusalem once Jerusalem becomes the “complete and united” capital of Israel?
Again, what is Isreal going to do with the Arabs therein? What is THEIR stated policy as to what should be done to ensure that Jerusalem is the complete and united capital of Isreal? Please state their policy? Israel is living in a fantasy dreamworld of contradictions and you know it.
As to the notion that America is bullying Israel. If this is true, why the heck does Israel ask the U.S. to facitlite EVERY negotiation it ever has had with the palestinians? Can’t they do this themselves?
If Isreal doen’t want America’s input in their negotiations/foreign policy disputes, how about the STOP ASKING FOR IT in the first place.
