NATO & Israel: NATO Okays Israel Office in Its Brussels Headquarters

Sabba – This makes sense as NATO is nothing more than the military arm of the Judeo-protestant/Anglo-Saxon-jewish alliance. This signals that she will soon be a full member of NATO. And the consequences for the region and the planet will be even more catastrophic. Israel always provokes the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran etc., she always provokes wars while she manages to never look like the aggressor. We have all heard 6 million times: she is only defending herself.

Once she is a full member of NATO, she will become even more bloodthirsty, her belligerence will know no limit as she will be backed by ALL other NATO states.

Israel part of NATO… imagine what the world will be like if we have Clinton in the White House…

HAARETZ – After years of delays, Israel may open offices in its Brussels headquarters, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization advised Jerusalem on Tuesday, and may complete the process of credentials for its representatives, the Foreign Ministry stated.
The move was enabled after Turkey rescinded the veto it had imposed in recent years on any Israeli activity with NATO, a top official in Jerusalem said.

Israel is not a member of NATO but is a country with which the international alliance has close ties. According to NATO’s rules for collaborating with unaffiliated countries, unanimous consent of the member nations is necessary.

After the Mavi Marmara flotilla incident in May 2010, in which nine Turkish civilians on the ship trying to break the Gaza blockade were killed, Turkey instituted sanctions against Israel, one of which was to constrain Israeli activity with NATO.

Turkey, a member of NATO, announced shortly after the flotilla incident that it opposed any collaboration between NATO and Israel, especially in military matters.
Consequently, moves to open an Israeli representation in NATO’s headquarters were suspended, as were joint projects between Israel and the organization. Israel’s participation in joint exercises was also frozen. Turkey rejected heavy pressure from the U.S. and other countries to soften its position.

Jerusalem interprets Turkey’s decision to lift the veto as another sign of Ankara’s desire to reconcile with Israel and normalize relations, a senior Israeli source said. Just last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu made upbeat comments regarding reconciliation with Israel.

Another round of talks between Israel and Turkey, which is expected to be critical, is slated to take place in mid-May. Most of the disputes have been resolved, including the issue of scaling back the blockade of Gaza.

Israel agreed to enable Turkey to execute a number of projects in Gaza, such as building a power station in collaboration with Germany, and building a desalination plant. The main outstanding dispute is activity by Hamas offices in Turkey. Israel claims these offices engage in planning and financing terrorism in the West Bank.
