A top Iraqi official has made it clear that although Iraq is free of Saddam Hussein, it is not free of its enmity towards Israel. Speaking to the Arabic news site Albawaba, Hamid Al-Bayati, Iraq's new deputy minister of foreign affairs, asserted that his country refuses
Bayati emphasized that Iraq will always be on par with the Arab consensus. "Arab consensus is currently against having any diplomatic relations with Israel," said Bayati, "and so we will be in support of this stance."
Israel's Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom has said that it should be up to the Iraqi people to decide whether Iraq should have diplomatic relations with Israel or not. Although there have been reports of Israeli businessmen working in Northern Iraq and even training Kurdish fighters, Bayati denied such claims. "Kurds in northern Iraq have denied any Israeli entry into Kurdistan... and I can assure you that we do not have any individual or corporate Israeli activity in other parts of Iraq," Bayati emphasized.
