JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The United States may review its ties with
countries it deems as being anti-Israel after what a U.S. envoy said on
Sunday was a shift in policy toward equating anti-Zionism with
anti-Semitism.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a March speech that
anti-Zionism – opposition to Israel’s existence as a homeland for the
Jewish people – was a form of anti-Semitism, or hostility toward Jews,
that was on the rise worldwide and that Washington would “fight it
relentlessly”.
The State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating
anti-Semitism, Elan Carr, said this U.S. position could spell reviews of
ties with foreign governments or leaders.
“The United States is willing to review its relationship with any
country, and certainly anti-Semitism on the part of a country with whom
we have relations is a deep concern,” he told Reuters during a visit to
Israel.
“I will be raising that issue in bilateral meetings that I am
undertaking all over the world,” he said. “That is something we are
going to have frank and candid conversations about – behind closed
doors.”
Carr declined to cite specific countries or leaders, or to elaborate on what actions the Trump administration might take.
“I obviously can’t comment on diplomatic tools that we might bring to
bear,” he said. “Each country is a different diplomatic challenge, a
different situation, number one. And number two, if I started disclosing
what we might do it would be less effective.”
Some U.S. political analysts say that President Donald Trump and
other Republicans hope support for Israel will attract Jewish voters,
including those disaffected by pro-Palestinian voices within progressive
Democratic Party circles..........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/u-s-may-review-ties-with-countries-deemed-anti-israel-envoy/246224
