Israel has repeatedly advocated a referendum on Kurdish independence. Even more
than that, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would push US
officials to accept the referendum on the Kurdish climate and prevent them from
holding it. Why Netanyahu supports this kind of referendum?
The referendum on the Kurdish region was held yesterday, when it seems that
Israel is the only foreign power to support this referendum. The climate
authorities emphasized the holding of a referendum at this time because they
said that now Iraq and the region are in a position to impose, the instability
and weakness of the central government on the one hand, and the war on terrorism
and ISIS On the other hand, there are two clear reasons why the Kurds have
provided an opportunity to make the most of their use of independence.
The Iraqi Kurds have been looking for a chance for independence for many years.
By Mullah Mostafa Barzani, so far, all Kurdish officials have been considering
the opportunity to declare independence. It can even be said that the current
officials of Kurdistan are all those who have long been dreaming of
independence.
No matter what the reason is clear, Massoud Barzani insists on achieving independence. He defines independence as his ultimate goal and permits himself
to use all the tools available to achieve this goal. Therefore, he does not pay
attention to any internal and external warnings, and by closing his eyes to the
facts and facts that exist, he is blindfolded to achive independence. To
do so, Barzani has only Israel's support behind him.
Here we cannot prove that Massoud Barzani personally cooperates with the
Israelis in order to bring Kurdistan's independence to an end. But on the other
hand, it seems that Israel, Barzani and Kurdistan, are a good guy to play in
pursuit of their goals.
In the meantime, the United States is unthinkable. Americans have repeatedly
stated in their frequent contacts with Iraqi officials and from various official
tribunals that they oppose the independence referendum in Kurdistan. They even
say they directly contacted the authorities and announced their opposition to
the Kurdish referendum. But, in fact, we do not see that the Americans have done
anything to oppose the climate referendum. At least, if Americans really oppose
the Kurdish referendum, they would extricate their forces out of this area.
While no US troops have left Kurdistan.
Why Netanyahu supports this kind of referendum?
There are many reasons to answer this question. One answer is that Israel
basically welcomes the breakdown of each country and even seeks to provide the
necessary fields for the division of countries. The breakup of any country means
weakening that country and finding a comrade from that country, which ultimately
benefits Israel. Now, if that country is also an enemy of Israel, it will do
more to parse it and attract a friend from within it.
The referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistan is precisely when the work of ISIL
terrorists and other terrorist groups in the region is nearing completion.
Israel cannot believe that the work of the terrorist groups has simply ended
without being taken advantage of by them or by what they have not sought after
terrorist activities. It has been a few weeks since Israel has raised its voice
and says everywhere that Iran has stabilized its presence in Syria and filled
the vacancies of terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria. Netanyahu even traveled to
Russia to prevent Iran from joining its borders, and personally asked Russian
President Vladimir Putin to stop Iran from taking part in Syria. He urged Russia
to pressure Iran to keep its forces and its allies at least 50 kilometers away
from the borders of Israel. This includes the Golan Heights, which Israel is
most afraid of being threatened from the area. An area has been occupied by
Israel for nearly 50 years. Netanyahu's attacks in Russia are closed. Even the
UN General Assembly did not find Israeli warnings against Iran. For the first
time, we saw the United Nations General Assembly united against the United
States and Israel against Iran. It is precisely at the same time that the
referendum of the Kurdish climate is held.
Israel hopes that by flaring the front of Kurdish, it may be able to spot the
Kurds' eyes and, by intensifying the tensions and even pushing it to the stage
of the war (which is now far from mind), will divert Iranian forces from its
periphery. Perhaps Israel has also thought that if the fire of war did not flare
up in the area, it would be so sensitive to the issue of Kurdistan that borders
Iran, Turkey and Syria, which could be used as a trading letter against Iran.
We cannot say that Barzani is aware of Israel's intentions and moves on the
basis of the Tel Avivian scenario. But at the same time for Barzani it is not so
important that there is such a scenario, because it is important to achieve
independence. However, what others think and what they are in the second place
is important to him. Maybe Barzani thinks he can form active diplomacy after
independence and relinquish such doubts.
Anyway, Barzani seeks independence at any cost to replace his immortal name with
Kurdish history, and Israel is looking for an opportunity to repel the Iranian
pressure and remove Iran's threat from its borders. Possibility to reach Iran's
borders, Kurdistan can serve the interests of Israel. The Kurds may not have
such an intention, but they can unwittingly fall into Israeli intentions. Future
developments in the coming days will prove these scenarios more reliable. The
situation is sensitive and requires high sensitivity. Certainly it cannot be
fished for any action. Every action must be taken into account. This is well
known to all the peripheral Kurdish countries.
