The following story by Akiva Eldar reports on a
plan
after the imposition of a "friendly post-war regime in
Iraq" to re-open a pipeline
from the Northern Iraqi city
of Mosul to Haifa which was closed in 1948 to supply
Israel with an alternative to paying higher prices to have
oil shipped in from Russia. The Israeli National
Infrastructure Minister, Joseph Partitzky, believes that
the US will support that
plan since it would deliver Iraqi
oil directly to a Mediterranean
port.
There is no discussion of the potentially explosive
social and political consequences of such a development
in the rest of the Middle
East.
In solidarity, Jerry
