Pemimpin
agresif Israel berkata pd hari Ahad bahawa Kurd adalah "berjuang
orang2 yang telah membuktikan komitmen politik, kesederhanaan politik, dan
memerlukan kebebasan politik," dilaporkan Reuters.
Bercakap
kepada INSS pemikir Tel Aviv Universiti, Netanyahu menyifatkan keadaan di Iraq
dan Timur Tengah secara umum sebagai "runtuh," kerana perselisihan
antara Sunni dan Syiah Islam.
Di
tengah-tengah pemberontakan baru2 ini Negara Islam di Iraq dan Levant
(ISIS/ISIL) militan, Kurd telah merampas peluang untuk membawa negeri yang lama
dicari bebas Kurdistan lebih dekat dengan realiti.

ISRAEL
PM Netanyahu Endorses KURDISH Independence Citing Chaos in IRAQ . . .
Citing
the “collapse” of Iraq amid the ISIS insurgency and sectarian violence, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed the de-facto independence of
Iraqi Kurds. Netanyahu has also called to support the “Kurdish aspiration for
independence.”
The
hawkish Israeli leader said on Sunday that Kurds are “fighting people that has
proved its political commitment, political moderation, and deserves political
independence,” Reuters reported.
Speaking
to Tel Aviv University’s INSS think-tank, Netanyahu described the situation in
Iraq and the Middle East in general as a “collapse,” due to strife between
Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
Amid
the recent insurgency of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS/ISIL)
militants, Kurds have seized the opportunity to bring a long-sought independent
state of Kurdistan closer to reality. Kurdish Peshmerga armed forces have been
guarding their provincial borders from ISIS, but also seized the contested
Iraqi city of Kirkuk, proclaiming it part of their territory.

Sekarang,
dalam pertembungan jelas terhadap sokongan masyarakat antarabangsa terhadap
Iraq yg bersatu, pemimpin-pemimin Israel telah dipanggil untuk menyokong kemerdekaan
de-facto Kurdis.
"Kita
perlu . . . menyokong aspirasi Kurdish untuk kemerdekaan," Netanyahu
dipetik sebagai berkata.
Kata-kata
Netanyahu diikuti kenyataan-kenyataan ‘statements’ oleh pegawai-pegawai kanan Israel. Menteri
Luar Israel, Avigdor Lieberman pada hari Khamis memberitahu Setiausaha Negara
Amerika Syarikat John Kerry yang dia percaya "penciptaan sebuah negara
Kurdish bebas adalah kesimpulan diketepikan," memetik Iraq
"berpecah."
Sementara
itu, Presiden Israel Shimon Peres memberitahu Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack
Obama yang "orang Kurd telah, de facto, yang mencipta negara mereka
sendiri, yang demokratik."

Kemerdekaan Kurdish READ MORE: Israel says disintegration in Iraq may lead to
independent Kurdish state
Penduduk
Kurdish 40 juta orang telah sejarah telah bertaburan antara Iraq utara, timur
Syria, tenggara Turki & barat Iran - & telah menafikan kemerdekaan oleh
setiap negara-negara.
Kurd
mempunyai autonomi luas di Iraq, yang diperintah oleh Kerajaan Wilayah
Kurdistan. Iraq adalah satu-satunya negara yang tlh menerima Kurdish
sebagai rasmi. Turki dan Syria telah menghadkan penggunaannya.
'Deal
atau tiada perjanjian dengan Palestin, IDF akan kekal'
Netanyahu
pada hari Ahad juga disahkan secara rasmi apa yang dilaporkan dalam media
Israel awal tahun ini, dlm hal kehadiran berterusan tentera di wilayah
Palestin yang dijajah.
Dalam
ucapan dasar malam Ahad, Netanyahu berkata bahawa akan perlu menjadi kehadiran
jangka panjang Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) di Tebing Barat, wa-laupun
selepas mana-mana perjanjian masa depan dengan Palestin, AP melaporkan.
Kedudukan
kerajaan Israel mengenai isu itu datang berbeza dengan yang masyarakat
antarabangsa, yang telah memanggil untuk pengeluaran IDF daripada Tebing Barat
untuk membuat jalan untuk sebuah negara Palestin yang merdeka.
Now,
in an apparent clash against the international community's support of a united
Iraq, the Israeli leader has called to back the de-facto independence of Kurds.
“We
should . . . support the Kurdish aspiration for independence,” Netanyahu was
quoted as saying.
Netanyahu’s
words followed similar statements by senior Israeli officials. Israeli Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday told US Secretary of State John Kerry
that he believes “the creation of an independent Kurdish state is a foregone
conclusion,” citing Iraq’s “breaking up.” Meanwhile, Israeli President Shimon
Peres told US President Barack Obama that “the Kurds have, de facto, created
their own state, which is democratic.”
The
40 million-strong Kurdish population has historically been scattered between
northern Iraq, eastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and western Iran – and has
been denied independence by each of those countries. Kurds have had the
broadest autonomy in Iraq, ruled by the Kurdistan Regional Government. Iraq is
the only country that has accepted the Kurdish language as official. Turkey and
Syria have restricted its use.
‘Deal
or no deal with Palestine, IDF will stay’
Netanyahu
on Sunday also officially confirmed what was reported in Israeli media earlier
this year, in regards to sustained military presence in the occupied
Palestinian territories.
In
a policy speech Sunday night, Netanyahu said that there would have to be a
long-term presence of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) throughout the West
Bank, even after any future deal with the Palestinians, AP reported.
The
Israeli government’s position on the issue comes in sharp contrast to that of
the international community, which has been calling for IDF’s withdrawal from
the West Bank to make way for an independent Palestinian state.
