Arnaud de Borchgrave tells Newsmax that he will not see a Palestinian state
in his lifetime — and the ultimate solution will likely be a single nation
shared by both Israelis and Palestinians.
In his exclusive interview
with Newsmax.TV, de Borchgrave also says he seriously doubts that new
sanctions will deter Iran from continuing its nuclear program, warns that a
single incident in the Middle East could push oil prices to as much as $400
a barrel, and asserts that Mexico is already to a great extent a “narco
republic.”
De Borchgrave was with
Newsweek magazine for 30 years, 25 of them as chief foreign correspondent
covering most of the world’s major news events. He is now a senior fellow at
the Center for Strategic and International Studies, editor at large at
United Press International and The Washington Times, and a Newsmax
correspondent.
Asked about reports that
the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, Germany and China have agreed to draw up
new sanctions against Iran in response to its nuclear weapons program, de
Borchgrave says the sanctions will be determined by “the lowest common
denominator among all those powers.
“China has some long-term
arrangements with Iran, oil deliveries going over 10 years. Russia, now
after the latest terrorist incident in Moscow, may be a little more amenable
than it was. There will be sanctions. Whether they will bring Iran to a
different viewpoint on their nuclear ambitions, I doubt it very seriously.
They’ve been at it for 25 years.”
Turning to the
Israeli-Palestinian question, de Borchgrave — who received the Lifetime
Achievement Award from the Phillips Foundation in 2007 — tells Newsmax:
“I’ve long argued that you’re not going to see a Palestinian state in my
lifetime.
