Netanyahu again failed

Qods news Agency reports:

One who may have reviewed the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions in recent months would have realized that he had got the reverse outcome out of any political initiatives on his part. A latest example took place when he renewed his call on the European Jews to immigrate to Israel amid the suspicious recent attacks in Copenhagen, Denmark. This time however Netanyahu received a no answer in unison.

The European authorities including the European Jews rejected the call to immigrate, further revealing a growing schism between the ruling Israeli government and the European authorities that seems to have reached a confrontational stage.

Netanyahu considers an immigration of remaining European Jews to Israel as an imperative strategy for preserving the demographic balance in favor of Zionists in the 1948-occupied Palestine and a favorable means to fill unoccupied new illegal settlements in the 1967-occpied lands. He may also seek to divert attention from a growing reverse immigration from Israel. The goals are sought in the run-up to the Israeli March 17 elections with Jewish immigration as a tramp card in the hand of the prime minster.

Netanyahu took the excuse of differences with his ministers over budgetary policies to stage a snap poll so as to build a more homogenous cabinet in his own favor. A more homogenous cabinet would further help him to advance his policies over such issues as Iran nuclear talks, Palestinian State, and Jewish State. The prime minister’s project however has faced major glitches.

Netanyahu had pinned hope in a congress appearance in March 3 for preventing an Iranian nuclear deal however the project has turned into a loss-loss game as he would suffer a setback if he backtrack from the speech while it would face empty chairs in the Congress if he goes ahead with the planned appearance.

Israel ties with European states have also strained over his push against the eventual formation of an independent Palestinian state in an already shrunk 1967 lines. The differences are even expected to further widen in case the right party of Netanyahu wins the elections.
