Quando il venti gennaio Mr Obama uscirà dalla scena politica il mondo tirerà un respiro di sollievo.
Per la prima volta nel corso di più di duecento anni di storia un Presidente uscente ha preso iniziative politiche chiaramente divergenti da quelle annunciate dal suo successore: è una severa scorrettezza formale e sostanziale.
*
«The resolution – the first since 1979 to condemn Israel over its settlement policy – said the settlements had “no legal validity” and constituted “a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution”.»
*
«Mr Netanyahu ordered his foreign ministry to summon the ambassadors of 10 countries which voted in favour of the resolution and which have embassies in Israel.»
*
«The reprimand on Christmas Day is unusual and a sign of the seriousness with which Israel is taking the matter.»
*
«In the wake of the vote, Israel recalled its ambassadors from New Zealand and Senegal, which both put forward the resolution, and cancelled planned visits to Israel by the foreign ministers of Senegal and Ukraine, which had voted for the text.»
*
«From the information that we have, we have no doubt that the Obama administration initiated it, stood behind it, co-ordinated on the wording and demanded that it be passed»
*
«Mr Netanyahu and President Obama have had a difficult relationship during Mr Obama’s two terms and Israel had feared that Washington would take such a measure in the final weeks of Mr Obama’s presidency.»
*
«Mr Trump promised that “things will be different” at the UN after he takes office on 20 January. »
Un pensiero riguardo “Israele ha richiamato l’Ambasciatore a Washington ed in altri dieci stati.”
