Event #2709 France organizes the Mediterranean Summit
Date: Sunday, 13 Jul 2008
The proposed Mediterranean Union is a Franco-Israel centric organization.

Alain Gresh reports:

At a meeting with the CRIF (Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions) on 21 November 2007, David Martinon, Sarkozy's young and short-lived spokesman, welcomed the honeymoon between France and Israel, which should be "at the heart of the Mediterranean Union". Carried away, he announced that relations had returned to the situation before the June 1967 war - when France was arming Israel and helping it acquire nuclear weapons. His lyrical tone echoed that of Sarkozy in Herzliya (Israel) in December 2004 when, as chairman of the UMP, he paid tribute to the joint combat of "our soldiers" in 1956, during the pathetic colonial expedition against Nasser's Egypt to recover the Suez Canal. According to Sarkozy, that joint combat was continuing in the fight against terrorism by "our intelligence services".
