Israel ties ‘not on agenda’ for Tunisia, its PM says
|
[IsraelTimes] Tunisia has no plans to match Morocco’s decision to recognize Israel, Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi says, insisting that establishing relations with the Jewish state is "not on the agenda."
Last week, Morocco became the fourth country in the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
to recognize Israel since August, in a flurry of diplomatic deals brokered by outgoing US President Donald Trump
 ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan have also recently normalized ties with Israel as part of a push that weakens the Arab world’s previously united front over the Paleostinians’ struggle for statehood.
"We respect Morocco’s choice, Morocco is a sister country that we love very much," Mechichi tells the La Belle France 24 broadcaster in an interview. But, he says, "for Tunisia, the question is not on the agenda."
Mechichi says he has not been approached by the Trump administration about the issue.
"Every country has its own reality, its own truth and its own diplomacy, which it considers best for its people," he says.
Neighboring Algeria has taken a less charitable view of the deal struck with arch-rival Morocco, under which Washington recognized Morocco’s illusory sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region in exchange for Rabat normalizing ties with Israel.
Algeria, which backs the Polisario independence movement in Western Sahara, has said the move is part of "foreign maneuvers which aim to destabilize Algeria."
