Al-Watan: The American attack on Iraq and Israel
Iraq-Israel, Politics, 12/26/2002

A high ranking military source at NATO said that all European military reports whose information are inspired from the US agree on that the American war against Iraq will be in February.

In a statement issued yesterday by the Saudi daily al-Watan, the source said that Washington decided to transfer the headquarters of the American embassy in Tel Aviv to southern Israel in a place close to "Eilat port" before the beginning of the war against Iraq because Eilat is considered one of the secure areas which is away from the goals of the Iraqi Skud missiles, according to the experience of the Gulf war of 1991.

The source indicated that there are Israeli contacts with several European states for these states to receive the Israelis who will flee of fears of war, and that the expulsion and money transfers of hundreds of Israelis have already started in the European banks especially banks with secret bank accounts in Switzerland, where expectations are growing that thousands of the Israelis will emigrate from Israel of fears over their lives.

The source, on the other hand, indicated the fears of the Israelis from the war makes the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon stick to keep the date of early elections, without a change on January 28, 2002, despite the atmosphere of tension among the Israelis because the situation of the region being in a state of war will prevent the Likud party from taking him out of power because he is a former army general of a great experience in wars.
