The Obama administration decided on Wednesday to schedule a tripartite US-Israeli-Palestinian summit at the U.N. center in New York for September 22, the day before U.S. President Barak Obama meets Russian president Dmitry Medvedev at the UN General Assembly, according to a DEBKAfile report. The three leaders will declare the resumption of Middle East peace talks. The summit’s date will require Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman to be present and away from Israel during Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year’s), the report noted.
In view of the strained relationship between the US and Israel and President Obama's apparent predilection for the Palestinian view, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be out numbered and out gunned. He won't be, however, out of options. His recent unexplained fourteen hour 'trip', amid rumors that he was in secret meetings with the Russians on a clandestine attack on Iran's nuclear, proves that he can still out fox the hounds.
But President Obama's appointment to head the United Nations Security Council, (UNSC) one of the principal organs of the United Nations does not bode well for Israel. The UNSC is charged with the maintenance of international peace and security. Like the UN, it is impotent, irrelevant, and too weak to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. But that could change in the stroke of a pen.
The Western European Union is a 10-nation alliance which, as some reports indicate, is a sleeping giant, with the military that the UN lacks. What does the future hold for the WEU 10-nation alliance, and the UN? The UN and the WEU have a long history of cooperation, and a skilled orator could use that to his advantage, to build a military force to match his silver tongue.
It looks like things are coming together for big bang. Stay tuned...
