| CORRUPTION CLAIMS SHAKE THE GOVERNMENT IN ISRAEL |
|
 Israeli Government is having hard times. The eventual fiasco of the
operation against the aid flotilla to Gaza has not covered the
corruption of the Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Israeli people
are now arguing how a minister, who is drowning in claims of bribery
and corruption, can manage an emerging international crisis. The
Israeli Public Prosecutor is preparing to bring a new action against
Minister Lieberman upon the advice of the police. Lieberman is going
to be tried for misusing his position and fraud, on the suspicion
that he has reached certain confidential files related to the
corruption investigation about him. The police recommends that an
action should be brought against Zeev Ben Ariye, the former Israeli
Ambassador to Belarus, on the suspicion that the might have
transferred the files to Lieberman.
Lieberman has not yet made a satisfactory statement against the
allegations. While his assistants said that there is nothing to be
excited for, they accused the police of acting in haste as usual.
Apparently, the deep divergences between the Israeli Police and the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs will emerge in the coming period.
Corruption claims has been a topic that the Israeli people are
accustomed to. In 2008, claims of corruption and bribery dragged the
then Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resignation. Olmert was accused of
giving approval to a luxurious housing project named Holyland in
return for a million dollars when he was serving as the Mayor of
Jerusalem and the Minister of Industry. The police claimed that the
amount was not 1 million but 15 million dollars in the Holyland case.
Several connected individuals were detained. The claims about Olmert
were not limited to this. The former prime minister was accused of
receiving money from an American Jewish businessman prior to the
elections and charging the state with 92 thousand dollars for the
visits he made with his wife. It is amusing that Olmerts pictures
were hung all around Israel, on a Wanted sign.
The Israeli Government tended to initiate a campaign in 2009 so as to
facelift its damaged credit. An additional source of 2 million dollars
has been allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the said
campaign. The campaign was supposed to start with face-lifting
activities particularly in the fields of information and culture In
this context, it was planned to send well known Israeli writers and
artists abroad to open exhibitions, thus presenting the cute face of
Israel. Moreover, Israeli military forces were requested to tidy up
their attitude and behavior. However, nothing has changed despite all
these efforts. Israeli soldiers were wearing t-shirts having photos
and slogans that were making fun of dead Palestinians. The Israeli
army appreciates ethic values the most in the world, comically stated
the Chief of General Staff Askenazi against the reactions.
Nowadays, the Israeli people are paying the price of the mistakes done
by unreliable and incompetent ministers in the cabinet after the Gaza
crisis. The responsible ministers are expected to resign as soon as
possible.
