Israel joins US and other countries in rejecting UN migration agreement

T. Belman. According to Akiva Bigman, “the new compact will grant labor migrants the same legal status under international law as asylum seekers and refugees who flee tyrannical regimes. This would essentially make all migrants, legal or not, eligible for economic benefits.”

According to this article, Israel had to be convinced not to join, In fact I read else where that Israel contributed to its drafting.

I am shocked. It should have been a no-brainer.

With this development, Israel will not send officials to the conference in Marrakesh, which is scheduled to be held between Dec. 10 and Dec. 11.

Israel will join the United States and other countries in rejecting the United Nations’ Global Compact on Migration, which is expected to be adopted in Morocco in December.

The final version was agreed in July and consists of 23 goals to encourage legal migration and better administer the flow or immigrants and refugees as the number of people moving worldwide has increased to 250 million, or 3 percent of the global population.

Reportedly, Israel was encouraged by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an immigration hawk, who requested Israel leave the agreement. “They say [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu had not even been aware of the issue, which was dealt with by Israel’s Foreign Ministry,” according to Axios.

U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the accord during the meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in September and announced that the United States wouldn’t be part of it.

“Israeli officials said Israeli diplomats spoke to Trump administration officials after the speech and asked if they wanted Israel to withdraw too,” reported Axios. “The message from the Trump administration was that the U.S. would be pleased if Israel were to pull out. A few days after Trump’s speech, Netanyahu met in New York with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who also asked Netanyahu to withdraw.”

With this development, Israel will not send any officials to the conference in Marrakesh, which is scheduled to be held between Dec. 10 and Dec. 11.

Other countries expected to reject the pact include the Czech Republic and possibly Bulgaria.

  1. Netanyahu’s belated withdrawal from this outrage of an international agreement, is to be applauded. It has more than anything to do with Israel hurrying up to conform with the US position, which after all is Israel’s sole support in the UN.

    Hungary and Austria may also have asked for Israel’s solidarity, It is doubtful they would have made the cut without Trump weighing in.

    Serfs abused by their Russian feudal lords would dream fondly about their ‘Little Father’, the Czar. If only the Little Father would be informed about their misery, he would intervene on their behalf. That is the nature of idolized centralist leadership systems.

    Bibi, supposedly was never told, he did not know of the Global Compact before it was called to his attention.

    But Israel’s crème de la crème are members of http://www.maala.org.il , the willing tool and representative of UN’s Global Compact in Israel, busily preparing for the great social revolution. Nurtured by Peres at its inception, Maala’s conferences are addressed by key speaker Mr. Gilad Erdan, Minister of Strategic Affairs & Public Diplomacy, year by year.

    The problem with Netanyahu is that he is spread thin. Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and now Minister of Defense. It is not surprising he does not know. He does not know his diplomats are propagating the Palestinian cause abroad. He does not know his Embassies are supporting New Israel Fund, sponsor of Antisemitic ventures. Bibi did not know Poland was for two years with advance notice drafting a clumsy and horrid revision of history of the Second World War law, which to undo was more difficult than it would have been to properly guide from the start. And Bibi seemingly did not know Maala is on the forefront of the Global Compact in Israel.

    Netanyahu should replace some the bland, dour and incompetent apparatchiks in his bloated government of 19 ministers and 7 deputy ministers. In their stead, Bibi must instate vigorous figures such as the well-polished Shaked, or the rather ordinary Regev nevertheless, both shown they can ably reform the swamp.

    Netanyahu is evidently overwhelmed by the swamp. Or is he part of it. He must nurture capable leaders within his ranks, and learn to delegate. A capable personality should be installed in the Foreign Ministry quickly and wimps should not apply. This is no part time job.

  2. The sodomites see this as their right of return. The legal battle against ISRAEL will start 24-48 hours of this commy trash being passed.
