Israel ‘jeopardises its future’ if it loses ‘war of communication’, says Sarkozy
RABAT – AFP
If Israel loses the war of communication, it is seriously jeopardising its future, said former French president Nicolas Sarkozy at a conference in Rabat on Wednesday.
“I’m trying to be honest in what I say. . . . Israel will win every military war. But if it loses the war of communication, it is seriously jeopardising its future. Mr Netanyahu and I had a lot of disagreements about this.
“There have been Israeli prime ministers who wanted to move towards peace, with two states. One of them even paid with his life. I would remind you that it was not an Arab who killed him, but a Jew. So extremism can be on both sides,” said the former president, who was at the conference to promote his new book “Le temps des combats”.
