OBAMA WARNS CHINA HE WILL NOT HOLD BACK ISRAEL MUCH LONGER FROM ATTACKING IRAN
DEC 17 2009
OBAMA HAS MANY TIMES WARNED THE END OF THIS YEAR WAS AS LONG AS THEY WOULD HOLD BACK THE ATTACK DEC 31
U.S. President Barack Obama has warned his Chinese counterpart
that the United States would not be able to keep Israel
from attacking Iranian nuclear installations for much longer,
senior officials in Jerusalem told Haaretz.
They said Obama warned President Hu Jintao during the American's visit to
Beijing a month ago as part of the U.S. attempt to convince the Chinese to
support strict sanctions on Tehran if it does not accept Western proposals for
its nuclear program.
The Israeli officials, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of
the matter, said the United States had informed Israel on Obama's meetings in
Beijing on Iran. They said Obama made it clear to Hu that at some point the
United States would no longer be able to prevent Israel from acting as it saw
fit in response to the perceived Iranian threat.
the U.S. administration thought the Chinese had understood the message;
Beijing agreed to join the condemnation of Iran by the International Atomic
Energy Agency only a week after Obama's visit. But in the past two weeks the
Chinese have maintained their hard stance regarding the West's wishes to
impose sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
The Israeli officials say the Americans now understand that the Chinese agreed
to join the condemnation announcement only because Obama made a personal
request to Hu, not as part of a policy change.
The Chinese have even refused a Saudi-American initiative designed to end
Chinese dependence on Iranian oil, which would allow China to agree to the
sanctions, said the Israeli officials.
Saudi Arabia, which is also very worried about the Iranian nuclear program and
keen to advance international steps against Iran, offered to supply the
Chinese the same quantity of oil the Iranians now provide, and at much cheaper
prices. But China rejected the deal.
Since Obama's visit, the Chinese have refused to join any measures to impose
sanctions. The Israeli officials say the Chinese have been giving unclear
answers and have not been responding to the claims by Western nations. Beijing
has been making do with statements such as "the time has not yet arrived for
sanctions."
China's actions are particularly problematic because China will take over the
presidency of the UN Security Council in January.
Western diplomats say China would have no choice but to join in sanctions if
Russia agrees to support them, but China could delay discussions and postpone
any decision until February, when France becomes council president.
The Israeli officials say Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is showing a
greater willingness for sanctions on Iran, despite hesitations by Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov.
