Policy u-turn: Olmert wants to buy gas from Britain, not only
Egypt 19.1.06 | 18:16 By Sharon Kedmi In an abrupt aboutface
of policy, acting prime minister and finance minister
Ehud Olmert is seeking to buy natural gas from Britain. The
gas would derive from an offshore field British Gas has
developed in partnership with the Palestinians: the Prime
Minister's Office under Ariel Sharon had prohibited buying
from them.
At present Israel's sources of natural gas are the Tethys Sea
consortium, but its field is not large, and Egypt. Yesterday
Olmert wrote to Gordon Brown, Chancellor to the U.K.
Treasury, saying Israel would be glad to do business with
British Gas.
Sharon had opposed buying Gazan gas, on the grounds that
Israeli money might wind up financing terrorism.
One can only wait with bated breath for the new business
opportunities which await Olmert, the peacemaker, when he
gets his shot at the big prize: four years as prime minister.
FROM JERICHO FAR FROM THE POLLS
Olmert attacks Jericho and the Israeli Right is so proud of
him. The CFR-owned Right-wing weekly rag Makor Rishon
just kvells its approval of the army. The army killed two PLO
guards and then two Israelis were murdered within a day
near Ariel. Thirty-four Arabs were wounded defending the
prison in Jericho where the "murderers" of former Tourism
Minister Rehavam Zeevi were recaptured by the IDF. And
the Right was so darn happy with the operation, it gave
Kadima two more seats in the Knesset.
EXCEPT...it was all another horrid lie. Zeevi was murdered
by and for Shimon Peres, with a bit of help from Ariel
Sharon. And as far as I saw, only one writer, Joel Skousen
referred to this fact:
