Introduction by GA: The
following is a translation of the last segment
of an article in Ynet yesterday
on Brexit. The article explains that: the Jewish
State has located itself as post Brexit
Britain’s gateway to the world: “Once out of the
EU, Britain will have to sign separate trade
agreements with each state, and Israel will be
the first.” And that: “Israel has become
Britain’s strategic ally.” And, of course, “the
British government totally disregard the boycott
campaign against Israel. On a political level,
they boycotted the boycott.”
A few years ago we learned that
back in 1982 Oded Yinon devised an Israeli ‘plan
for the Middle East.’ The following Ynet’s
segment provides us with a glimpse into the
current ‘Israel’s plan for Britain.’
If you have
been puzzled by the insane institutional
campaign against Corbyn
(BOD,
Jewish Chronicle,
CAA,
etc.) the
Ynet article raises the possibility that the
campaign has not actually been about ‘antisemitism.’
It is more likely about shekles: Corbyn in
Number Ten could easily interfere with ‘Israel’s
plans for Britain.’
The Ynet
article may also help Brits to understand the
bipartisan forces that operate intensively to
push Britain to break away from the EU.
For some reason some of the staunch Israel
supporters within the Government and in the
Parliament are also pushing hard for Brexit.
Ask yourself, do they do it for
Britain, Brits and British national interests or
are they, once again, serving the interests of
that dark and oppressive foreign state.

“…It turns out that on some
fronts the British began to prepare in advance.
When it decided to withdraw from the European
Union, Britain was even more enthusiastic
about reaching agreements to sign bilateral
trade agreements, this time not through the EU,
but with countries around the world. The Brits
saw the signing of these trade agreements as
evidence of Britain’s steadfastness. Time and
time again, British leaders, headed by Theresa
May, said that “Britain can maximise its
business and commercial potential beyond the EU
as well.” Israel was one of the first stations
in that campaign. Once out of the EU, Britain
will have to sign such agreements with each
state, and Israel will be the first.
In recent years, Israel has
become Britain’s strategic ally. Innovation,
technological, intelligence and cyber
capabilities have made Israel one of the most
popular potential partners in Britain. The
volume of trade between the two countries rose
to a record $ 11 billion last year, of which $ 5
billion was Israeli exports to Britain, and the
rest was British imports to Israel. After the
United States, Britain is the largest exporter
to Israel, and trade relations span a wide range
of fields – energy, pharmaceuticals, food and
technology – and the British government’s total
disregard of the boycott organizations against
Israel. On the political level, they boycotted
the boycott.
In the past year, teams of
British and Israeli economic ministries have
gathered to discuss bilateral trade agreements.
They had to draft new agreements, since the
current trade agreements between the two
countries were within the framework of the
European Union. Ohad Cohen, head of the Foreign
Trade Department in the Ministry of Economics,
who was in charge of the talks on the Israeli
side, said that the British had entered talks
with a simple task: to continue without
unnecessary shocks, to repeat most of the
clauses in the agreement that Israel signed with
the EU in 1995.
“They came and said, ‘Whatever
was, will be,'” Cohen said. “In other words,
they wanted Israel to continue to trade with
Britain on the same terms, with full customs
exemptions, and to make very small changes to
existing agreements, especially in quantities. Britain
has named Israel as one of the first countries
with which it wants to sign a bilateral
agreement, and it is important for the British
government to ensure that the commercial ties
between the two countries are not harmed.”
According to Cohen, the
negotiations were oblivious to the many changes
that have stirred the British political system
in the past year. The British did not arrive
with any panic for the negotiations with Israel,
not even when ministers resigned one by one and
Theresa May’s government was crushed under the
wheels of Brexit.
“The only difference is that they were required
to set up a unit that deals with trade
agreements, which they did not have before,
because before everything went through the EU
institutions in Brussels,” says Cohen.
Thus, in
the coming month a trade agreement between the
two countries is supposed to be signed. After
Israel, Britain expects to sign trade
agreements with some 70 other countries,
including its closest ally, the US.
The
agreement with the Americans is very important,
because for a Brexit government this is a
prestigious card and a proof that Britain can
stand on its feet even outside the European
Union…”
