China's Middle East journey via Jerusalem
By M K Bhadrakumar
Two prominent leaders of the Middle East headed abroad last weekend,
canvassing support from the international community. Iranian President
Mahmud Ahmadinejad went on a tour of Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecuador,
the "red rain land" of Latin America, while Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert headed for China.
By coincidence, on Wednesday, while Ahmadinejad was being received in
Managua by the charismatic Marxist revolutionary Daniel Ortega at his
inauguration as the democratically elected president of Nicaragua,
Olmert was received with state honors in Beijing. Nothing can bring
home as vividly the complexities of the emerging "multipolar" world
order.
The intimacy between Iranian Islamists and Latin American socialists is
now out in the open. One view is that the newfound rapport between the
left and the jihad is only an evanescent residue of the "war on
terror". But Fred Halliday, a British academic specialist on the Middle
East, wrote recently, "There are signs of a far more developed and
politically articulate accommodation in many parts of the world between
Islamism as a political force and many groups of the left."
Halliday visualized critically that the left might be seeing "some
combination of al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas and
not least Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad as exemplifying a new
form of international anti-imperialism that matches - even completes -
their own historical project".
But that is small comfort for Ahmadinejad's goodwill mission. Any axis
between Islamists and the left cannot seriously change the "co-relation
of forces" in the Middle East. What is obvious, though, is that
Olmert's visit to Beijing holds deep implications for the security of
the region. The Chinese leadership in discussions with Olmert has come
down rather sharply on the Iranian stance in the impasse over Tehran's
nuclear program.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao openly rebuffed Tehran's claim that the
United Nations Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Iran
was a mere "piece of paper". Wen said, "Resolution 1737 adopted
unanimously by the UN Security Council members reflects the concerns of
the international community about the Iranian nuclear issue."
Olmert couldn't hide how pleased he was to hear the Chinese position.
First, his mission to China was the final leg of his tour of the UN
"permanent five" capitals (after London, Paris, Moscow and Washington)
with a view to ratcheting up international pressure on Iran. He told
the media in Beijing that he heard "many surprising and positive
things" from Wen on the Iran nuclear issue, and that Wen "made it
absolutely clear" Beijing opposed "an Iran with a nuclear bomb".
Even making allowance for Israeli exaggeration and Olmert's own
keenness to draw attention away from the scandals weakening his
political standing at home, the fact is Wen's statement appeared soon
after consultations by Iran's chief negotiator on the nuclear issue,
Ali Larijani, in Beijing. Chinese President Hu Jintao told Larijani
last Thursday, "The UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution
1737, which reflects the shared concerns of the international community
over the Iranian nuclear issue, and we hope Iran will make a serious
response to the resolution" (emphasis added). ... (cont)
