Defense minister trashes Kerry and his peace proposals
US secretary is ‘obsessive and messianic’ in his quest for an Israeli-Palestinian deal, Ya’alon says in Yedioth Ahronoth expose; Livni, Herzog protest his comments
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon lashed into US Secretary of State John Kerry and savaged US-led peace talks with the Palestinians in private conversations, according to a Tuesday report in a major Israeli daily.
The unsourced report in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper recounts Ya’alon lambasting the security proposals drawn up by Kerry as part of his peace plan as being “not worth the paper it is printed on” and something that won’t provide security for Israel.
The report also quotes Ya’alon calling Kerry “inexplicably obsessive” and “messianic” in his efforts to coax the two sides into a peace agreement. Ya’alon said Kerry has “nothing to teach me about the conflict with the Palestinians.

“All that can ‘save us’ is for John Kerry to win a Nobel Prize and leave us in peace,” the paper quotes him saying.
A Defense Ministry spokesperson declined comment. In a reference to the Yedioth report, Ya’alon said Tuesday, “Even if there are disagreements between us and the Americans in our discussions, they shouldn’t overshadow our shared goals and interests.”
Ya’alon, considered a defense hawk, has publicly expressed skepticism over plans for Israel to pull out of the West Bank, and firmly opposed an Israeli withdrawal from the Jordan Valley.
Speaking privately, Ya’alon said an American security plan that could ostensibly facilitate a safe withdrawal by Israel, and which calls for advanced electronic surveillance in the West Bank area instead of an Israeli military presence, would actually “ensure that Ben Gurion Airport and Netanya become a missile target,” which only “our continued presence in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan River” will prevent, according to the report.
“What are you talking about?” Ya’alon was said to have directly retorted to assertions by Kerry recently that his security proposal would render Israel’s eastern border more tranquil that the US-Canada border. “You’ve given us a plan based on advanced technologies — satellites, sensors, war rooms with TV screens — but with no presence in the field of our forces. How is that technology going to help when a Salafist or an Islamic Jihad terror cell tries to attack Israeli targets?” Ya’alon reportedly wondered. “How are satellites going to quash the rocket-building industry that’s developing in Nablus and that will launch rockets at Tel Aviv and the center of the country?”
He also hammered into Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, saying his continued rule of the West Bank was only thanks to Israel.
“The moment we leave Judea and Samaria he’s finished,” Ya’alon was quoted saying. “In practical terms for the last few months we’ve been holding talks not with the Palestinians, but with the Americans.” More>
From the Author: I would have to agree with Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon when he said, “Kerry has “nothing to teach me about the conflict with the Palestinians. He is against giving up any portion of the West Bank and suggested that the US proposal was not worth the paper that it was written on. He also feels that it would be a mistake to pull out of the Jordan Valley.
In a rare public rebuke of an Israeli official, White House and State Department spokespeople took Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon to task on Tuesday evening for calling US Secretary of State John Kerry “messianic” and “obsessive” over the latter’s pursuit of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
I’m fearful that we’ve made Israel skeptical of anything the US says or does. There was a time before this administration that America would have made it clear that they are not standing alone in their quest for peace and freedom. It appears that our relationship has been greatly damaged which puts America at risk if we believe the Bible.
Theoretically, Israel shouldn’t have to give up any of their land and especially the land that G-d gave Abraham and his descendants. Indeed, the early founding fathers of the modern state of Israel, even if they were not religious, were deeply steeped in the realization of Biblical heritage of the Jewish people and their connection to the land.
As for the current situation between Israelis and all of the terrorists who consider Israel theirs, Joshua reaffirms to the world that Gaza belongs to Israel – especially the tribe of Judah.
