１月18日付け、イスラエルの「Haaretz」(電子版）よると、イスラエルは、イランの核開発問題をめぐり、国連安保理への付託を急いでいるものの、それに先駆けて、イランへの制裁処置について、アメリカとEUに相談を持ちかけたとのこと。
イスラエルの提案は下記の通り。
＊イランとの石油取引の禁止
＊サッカー世界大会へのイラン・チームの出場禁止（これが笑わせる）
＊イラン大統領及び政府高官へのビザ発給の禁止
＊イラン民間飛行機離着陸の禁止
など。

Israel in talks with U.S., EU over sanctions
Israel is in advanced talks with the United States and European countries over a package of sanctions that would be applied against Iran should it continue its nuclear program.
The goal is to have the package ready to go the moment a political decision is made to apply sanctions.
Israel is urging the international community to transfer Iran's case to the UN Security Council, which can authorize sanctions. The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is the body authorized to refer cases to the Security Council, will meet on February 2 to discuss the issue in light of Tehran's recent decision to resume research on uranium enrichment.
Under the guidance of an interministerial committee on Iran's nuclear program, headed by Mossad chief Meir Dagan, various Israeli agencies, both defense and civilian, have prepared proposals for diplomatic and economic sanctions against Iran that could be applied either by the Security Council or by the European Union and other countries independently. These ideas have been presented to American and European officials over the last two months. Some of them are as follows:
* Sanctions against Iranian oil exports. According to the defense establishment's analysis, an oil embargo would hurt Iran more than it would hurt the West, since Iran's economy is wholly dependent on oil. Moreover, Iran refines little oil itself, so the country also depends on imports of refined products. Sanctions would cause oil prices to rise, but no country depends wholly on Iranian oil.
* Banning Iran's soccer team from this summer's World Cup.
* Denying visas for foreign travel to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iranian officials involved in the country's nuclear program.
* Halting the IAEA's technical cooperation with Iran on nuclear issues.
* Restricting landings by Iranian civilian aircraft.
Israel believes it is necessary to increase the pressure on Iran by confronting it witha clear threat, as opposed to the vague warnings uttered to date. The Iranians have toughened their stance in the months since Ahmadinejad's election, first verbally withdrawing from their agreement with the EU to halt uranium enrichment, then resuming
uranium conversion (the first step toward enrichment), and now resuming enrichment research. But at each stage, the West has reacted rather than issuing clear warnings in advance. Israel argues that this order should be reversed.
Russia, which has a Security Council veto as well as close ties with Iran, is considered key to imposing and enforcing sanctions. Yesterday, a group of senior Israeli officials, headed by National Security Adviser Giora Eiland and Atomic Energy Commission Director Gideon Frank, flew to Moscow to discuss the Iranian issue. They will meet today with senior Russian officials.
Israeli officials believe Russia will abstain in the IAEA vote on referring Iran to the Security Council, but will urge that action be postponed in order to give negotiations time. Next month, senior Iranian officials will visit Moscow to discuss a proposal that Iran enrich uranium in Russia rather than on its own soil, thereby making it harder to divert enriched uranium to nuclear weapons.
Israel considers Iran's nuclear program its greatest national security threat. Acting Premier Ehud Olmert, commenting on this issue for the first time Tuesday, declared: "Israel cannot allow someone who has such evil intentions against us" a reference to Ahmadinejad's recent threats to "wipe Israel off the map" "to have control over a destructive weapon that could threaten our existence."
Israel's strategy has been to focus on diplomatic channels and to let the international community take the lead on this issue. However, it has also worked to develop military responses to the threat if needed, including through recent agreements to purchase two submarines from Germany and "bunker-busting" bombs from the U.S.
