Afrasianet - Zakaria Shaheen - After the return of el-carima to the motherland, Ukraine became the target of Western targets that could be used as a foil for Russia. Not only that, but also Israel.
The intimacy between Israel and Ukraine has not begun since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on April 13, 2015, when he announced the lifting of the ban on supplying Iran with the S-300 missile system. This announcement resonated with great concern. The United States, through its Foreign Minister John Kerry, met with his Russian counterpart.
Israel is one of the most opposed countries to this action, prompting it to hint at the arming of Ukraine in response to the decision of the Moscow administration. Tel Aviv's announcement of the arming of Kiev seems not coincidental, since the relationship between the two countries has begun since the declaration of Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union.
Israel is the diplomatic ally of Ukraine
According to the website of the Ukrainian Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel and Ukraine enjoy good bilateral relations. They began to enter a strong curve immediately after the two countries announced the launching of their respective embassies in 2013. On May 16, 2013, Israeli businessman Ophir Kirzner was appointed honorary ambassador to the Ukrainian consulate. Jerusalem.
Relations between the two countries were further strengthened, especially after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the emigration of many Israelis residing in the EU countries to Ukraine. As a result of the strong relations between the two countries, the Free Trade Agreement between the two countries was signed on February 9, 2011, Visa visa.
Mutual tourism
Tourist tourism between Kiev and Tel Aviv is one of the most frequent tourist trips to and from Israel due to the origins of Ukrainian Jews and their related families inside Israel. Many of the residents of Ukraine have settled in Tel Aviv. The tomb of Rabbi Nachman is a well-known Jewish figure. One of the most important landmarks of the Jews in Ukraine is the great interest of the Israelis who are keen to visit him.
Political relations
Israel is trying to find an ally everywhere, and the historical relations of the Ukrainian Jews in Israel are known to all. In this context, Israel expresses its support for Ukraine's stance against Russia in the crisis of the Crimean region, "Where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pablo Klimkin in October 2014 and expressed his country's satisfaction with Israel's position on the Ukrainian crisis.
Continuous cooperation
"There are different types of military technical assistance between the two countries," says Klemkin, after a press conference between him and Netanyahu, according to the Jerusalem Post. He spoke with Netanyahu about the "strategic nature" of bilateral relations, Cooperation tracks, negotiations on a free trade agreement, and seeking to attract Israeli investments in advanced technology and agriculture.
Medical assistance
Tel Aviv is providing assistance to treat Ukrainian army wounded in Israeli clinics and medical centers. Kleiman visited them while he was on his first official visit to Israel as foreign minister. He expressed the hope that medical assistance would be available on a larger scale.
Israel responds to Russia via Ukraine
It seems that Israel, after the announcement of the lifting of the Russian embargo on the arming of Iran, decided to work on a course counter to Russia's efforts to arm Iran in the S-300 missile deal, aimed at arming Kiev, according to the newspaper "Rosiskaya Gazeta" Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that his country does not exclude The possibility of resuming the export of arms to Ukraine and Georgia after lifting the Russian ban on Iran.
The Russian newspaper pointed out that the source pointed to the possibility of the possibility of the export of Israeli drone aircraft to Ukraine and Georgia, after his country had refrained from doing so earlier in order to maintain relations with Russia.
"Israel's support for the extreme right-wing coup in Ukraine," he said, "Israel's response to the crisis in Ukraine attests to the fact that the Israeli ruling elite does not defend the Jews of the world, as they claim, but the category Israeli capitalism, the corrupt and corrupt social class that carries out criminal attacks against Palestinians, and other allies with Washington. The richest 20 Israeli families controlled nearly half of the stock market and 25% of the major companies, especially newspapers, banks and high-tech companies. Some of these oligarchs came from Russia and the former Soviet republics with funds collected from the privatization of state-owned enterprises. Fascist forces outside Israel.
On the other hand, despite the Israeli-Ukrainian rapprochement, the Ukrainian Jews suffered much persecution by the hands of the Ukrainian nationalists and nationalists.
In an appeal made by Moshe Reuven Azman, one of the rabbis of the Jews in Ukraine through the Israeli newspaper Maariv, in which he asked the Jews to leave the city center, or even leave the country if possible. "I do not mean that the literature of panic is in the hearts, To attack Jewish institutions, "referring to the closure of Jewish community schools in Ukraine, on the grounds that the Israeli Embassy had asked members of the Jewish community to refrain from leaving homes for fear of attacks. This was echoed by the head of the umbrella organization of the Jews of Ukraine, Kiev to "disaster", said Lu "We contacted Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and asked for help to secure the Jewish community."
The attitude of the politicians in Tel Aviv for decades has spread to the hearts of Ukrainian Jews, urging them to immigrate to occupied Palestine, although it is common for Jews in that country to emigrate to the United States.
In the Arab region and the Middle East in general, there is a strong desire in American policy to increase the dominance of the United States on the policies of all systems and is actively seeking diplomacy at this stage to liquidate the Palestinian issue and put an end to the Arab-Zionist conflict and considers that the opportunity to achieve this endeavor, To lead to the arrangement of conditions in favor of the American project and the realization of the political and security demands of Israel because of imbalances in the balance of power on the one hand and the preoccupation of the people of the region and their systems in internal conflicts on the other hand, but this strategic objective is still in the right It fully fixes difficulties and obstacles that no American administration will be able to overcome.
Overall, we say that the American policy so far has not achieved any major strategic successes in terms of ranking the situation of the region in favor of the American project, and that the state of vigilance in general expands every day and deepen in the face of the policy of American hegemony and arrogance imperialist Zionism supported by regional forces and international major influential in international politics and in the forefront These powers are the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation, which have restored balance to international conflict.
Shake in the international system
Russia's annexation of the Crimea caused a tremor in the European system and into the entire international system, with both Americans and Europeans condemning, threatening and successive meetings, but also here and weakly formulating a clear and influential strategy for Russian politics and economy. All the international agreements that have been signed with Russia, including those relating to the containment of weapons of mass destruction and trade and economic partnerships, may be shaken but not as predictable as sanctions on Saddam's Iraq or Iran, because Russia is a major military force and one of the two main parties to the conflict In the Cold War, she has a presence in international foreign policy and an influential voice in the Security Council, and has strategic papers that she can use against the West in Syria, Iran and elsewhere.
From the crisis of the Crimea we can draw three main lessons:
First, the contemporary international environment has become more blurred, more complex and more ambiguous than ever before. It is enough to refer to the valuable books of the international relations of France, Bertrand Paddy, to develop this theory. He developed a theory that was reduced in two words, "power weakness" and based on the theories of Emile Durkheim and Hugo Crotius Emphasized that power in its traditional classical sense has lost more meaning as the actors in the complex international environment have increased ... Some powerful states such as the United States of America are no longer with the same economic, military, protectionist and even cultural deterrent as they had previously been. Bipolarity or unipolarism no longer has the same meaning as the economies of Asian countries, the global financial crisis, international trade competition, global criminality, globalization of services and the growing role of individuals in international relations. There are many questions that we pose with him and with the European perspective, Frederick Charyon, and we can summarize it in two questions: The first question relates to our own abilities to read international relations that have become very complex. The second question relates to the distinction that has become more and more ambiguous between what may be related to the rational sphere and the irrational field.
Second, Russia under this complex international environment has emerged in the form of a force that believes in itself and uses in its proofs and interpretations the literature of Western democracy referendum, the statements of the Crimean people in the various media, and there are about three million people living in the Crimea (in exchange for Western European countries considered by Russia Weak in the international arena and weak militarily ... Some of the evocation of these facts speaks of a new Cold War ... The fact that we are far from the presence of two major blocs or more represent or can represent the parties to this cold war ... Russia even surpassed the camp
The West in the absence of this war and benefited from the existence of a strategic vacuum in the game of the Chess Cold War before ... And then the Western countries can not declare war on Russia or send missiles to Moscow or we have seen a new world war.
Third, the Russian president is well aware of the concept of power, and exactly the concept given by the great American strategist Joseph Nye, the ability to achieve the results one wants, and the resources that produce this power vary in different contexts.
The decision of Putin and the ruling establishment in Russia was a bold and decisive decision to restore the Crimea to the main home of Russian territory, and everyone should not only recognize that the Crimea is part of Russia and that everyone should refrain from saying otherwise,
What concerns us here is the Arab position, which must be seen in the knowledge of friends from opponents, Israel, the opponent of the Arabs is the friend of Ukraine, even from the door of interest. Therefore, the Arabs must stop taking the Western position, especially the Amoudi, to deal with the Ukrainian position.
In short, the Arabs should know that Ukraine will not be a friend to them, and so is Israel. Hence, the clarity of positions is a force for Arabs, not weakness, but dependence on taking positions according to the whims of the West is a certain weakness.
