別の記事で、エジプトのムバラク大統領も反米態度を示しています。
イスラエルの行動のエスカレートに世界世論が危機感を持っているあたり、まだ、救いがありそう。しかし、当たり前の「非難声明」が、このように、あの国は、どの程度の非難、この国は、ということがニュースになること事態、すでに、異常だと思います。
ヨルダンも、サウジも、以前から、火種を国内に抱えている。その状況を考えると、今回のアブドゥッラー国王(いつまでも、王子の方が似合っているカリスマだけど)の発言も、国内むけ、ガス抜きともいえる。ブッシュも、この程度なら、ま、と許されているのだろう。
Jordan cancels talks with Bush
Tuesday 20 April 2004, 16:49 Makka Time, 13:49 GMT
King Abd Allah of Jordan has postponed talks with US President George Bush in a diplomatic snub at America's support for Israeli policy.
Amman announced that it needed "time to clarify the US position" on the Middle East peace process on Tuesday.
Other Arab states have also urged the UN Security Council to condemn Israel's illegal assassination policy after the death of Hamas leader Abd al-Aziz al-Rantisi.
The snub comes just after Bush broke with long-standing American policy and acknowledged Israel would keep many of its illegal settlements in the West Bank.
The unilateral announcement was made without any reference to the "quartet" of bodies that created the roadmap Middle East peace process - the UN, EU and Russian federation.
Criticising assassination
King Abd Allah's move also follows the killing of Dr al-Rantisi on Saturday in Gaza.
Political commentators suggest the monarch would damage his image if seen walking around US' corridors of power at a time when Israel is enjoying Washington's complete backing.
A possible future meeting has tentatively been rescheduled for the first week of May.
A vote is expected in the UN Security Council on Tuesday after Arab states submitted a draft resolution calling for Israel to end "extra-judicial" executions.
Veto vote?
Palestinian representative Nasir al-Kidwa said assassinations were the latest in a long series of war crimes and the Security Council's failure to condemn Israel had encouraged it to continue.
But Israeli envoy Dan Gillerman called al-Rantisi a "radical terrorist leader" and he defended his killing, saying there had been no viable means of arresting the Hamas leader.
Three weeks ago, the US vetoed a resolution condemning Israel for killing al-Rantisi's wheel chair-bound predecessor, Shaikh Yasin.
Most political analysts expect any similar resolution will also be vetoed by America.
