Re: Think tank =|= Echo chamber (none / 1)
Iraq-Israel relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1948, Israel and Iraq have been implacable foes. Technically, Baghdad has been in a continuous state of war with Israel since 1948.[3] It sent armies to fight Israel in 1948 and 1967, and to back up Syria's defence of Damascus in the October 1973 war. Unlike Egypt, Jordan or Syria, Iraq has never been willing to discuss an armistice with Israel, let alone a peace accord like those Israel signed with Egypt and Jordan-despite some wishful mediation attempts by the United States and other Western countries with business interests in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's presidency.
The reference to Syria and Egypt is relevant because of the United Arab Republic that Iraq hoped to be part of. Also because Syria is not a US client but Egypt is.
