Incoming
president of the European Parliament
Martin Schulz tells Haaretz the euro will
not collapse, calls Merkel's conduct
'arrogant' and Cameron's 'obstructive'.
"Our
biggest problem is that there is no
consensus in the EU. As for Israel and
Palestine, the EU is absolutely
divided, as it always was. This is
also true for Libya, for instance. We
had voices for and against, and
abstentions, in the Security Council.
It went in every possible direction.
As for Syria, we are imposing double
standards here - what we did in
relation to Libya we're not doing in
relation to Syria. Here, too, the
opinions of the Europeans are diverse
and at times contradictory."
To
what degree do you fear Islamization
of the Arab world, and is Europe,
which is now going through such a
difficult crisis, at all capable of
aiding the states that are
liberating themselves?

Political turmoil flares in Iraq as U.S. pulls out
Iraqi
Prime Minister
Nuri al-Maliki
is asking
lawmakers to
withdraw
confidence
from his
deputy after
Saleh
al-Mutlaq made
controversial
comments this
week over
American
forces
withdrawing
from Iraq,
state media
reported late
Saturday.
In a
recent
interview with
CNN, al-Mutlaq
accused
al-Maliki of
amassing
dictatorial
power.
"There
will be a day
whereby the
Americans will
realize that
they were
deceived by
al-Maliki ...
and they will
regret that,"
said
al-Mutlaq, a
leader within
Iraqiya
movement.
"America
left Iraq with
almost no
infrastructure.
The political
process is
going in a
very wrong
direction,
going toward a
dictatorship,"
he said.
"People are
not going to
accept that,
and most
likely they
are going to
ask for the
division of
the country.
And this is
going to be a
disaster.
Dividing the
country isn't
going to be
smooth,
because
dividing the
country is
going to be a
war before
that and a war
after that."
Neighboring
Iran,
predominantly
Shiite and led
by a Shiite
regime, views
al-Maliki as
its man in
Baghdad and
has dictated
the shape of
the current
government,
al-Mutlaq
said. But he
said al-Maliki
is playing
games with
both
Washington and
Tehran
