\"Israel<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction by GA:\u00a0<\/strong>The following is a translation of the last segment of an article in\u00a0Ynet<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0yesterday on Brexit. The article explains that: the Jewish State has located itself as post Brexit Britain\u2019s gateway to the world:\u00a0\u201cOnce out of the EU, Britain will have to sign separate trade agreements with each state, and Israel will be the first.\u201d\u00a0And that: \u201cIsrael has become Britain\u2019s strategic ally.\u201d\u00a0And, of course, \u201cthe British government totally disregard the boycott campaign against Israel. On a political level, they boycotted the boycott.\u201d<\/h5>\n
A few years ago we learned that back in 1982 Oded Yinon devised an Israeli \u2018plan for the Middle East.\u2019 The following Ynet\u2019s segment provides us with a glimpse into the current \u2018Israel\u2019s plan for Britain.\u2019<\/h5>\n
If you have been puzzled by the insane institutional campaign against Corbyn\u00a0 (BOD<\/a><\/span>, Jewish Chronicle<\/a><\/span>, CAA<\/a><\/span>, etc.)\u00a0the Ynet article raises the possibility that the campaign has not actually been about \u2018antisemitism.\u2019 It is more likely about shekles: Corbyn in Number Ten could easily interfere with \u2018Israel\u2019s plans for Britain.\u2019 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.<\/h5>\n

The Brexit Hurricane <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201c\u2026It 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\u00a0reaching 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 Teresa May, said that “Britain can maximise its business and commercial potential beyond the EU as well.”\u00a0Israel was one of the first stations in that campaign.\u00a0Once out of the EU, Britain will have to sign such agreements with each state, and Israel will be the first.<\/h5>\n
\u00a0In recent years, Israel has become Britain\u2019s strategic ally.\u00a0Innovation, 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\u00a0$ 11 billion last year, of which\u00a0$ 5 billion was Israeli exports to Britain,\u00a0and the rest was British imports to Israel.\u00a0After 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.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
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.<\/h5>\n
“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.\u00a0Britain 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.”<\/strong><\/h5>\n
According to Cohen, the negotiations\u00a0were 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.<\/h5>\n
Thus, in the coming month a trade agreement between the two countries is supposed to be signed.\u00a0After Israel, Britain expects\u00a0 to sign trade agreements with some 70 other countries, including its closest ally, the US. <\/strong>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\u2026\u201d<\/h5>\n
