10 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>. Le ton \u00e9vident des divers constats et d\u00e9clarations est r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par le constat un peu dramatique du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Eitan Ben-Eliahu, un ancien chef de la force a\u00e9rienne isra\u00e9lienne, qu’on peut r\u00e9sumer de la sorte: Le constat est clair. Isra\u00ebl est seul d\u00e9sormais.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIn Israel, the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) sowed foreboding and frustration at the prospect of having to take matters into its own hands.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbImplications are clear. It leaves Israel alone, said Maj. Gen. Eitan Ben-Eliahu, a former commander of the Israel Air Force.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAnd a senior MoD official acknowledged that while Israeli policy will remain unchanged, it will feel increasingly compelled to lessen its isolation through high-risk intelligence activities aimed at correcting the U.S. assessment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe burden will be upon us to take less-than-reasonable risks in presenting information that cannot be dismissed by those apologetic analysts in Washington, the official said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAlthough Israeli officials struggled to prevent a rift with Washington, Cabinet members and leading academics questioned key findings, especially the high confidence that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program back in 2003.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbDefense Minister Ehud Barak said Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran probably restarted its weaponization program after a short pause following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWe must remember that words don’t stop missiles. We’re obliged to continue to act in the realm of sanctions and also in other realms, he said in a Dec. 5 Defense Ministry statement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMatan Vilnai, Barak’s deputy at the Defense Ministry, said a few days later that no option needs to be off the table, despite the American findings.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tL’analyse rapporte \u00e9galement l’amertume et la duret\u00e9 des propos de Shimon Peres, le pr\u00e9sident isra\u00e9lien, lorsqu’il a re\u00e7u madeleine Albright le 5 d\u00e9cembre, \u00e0 propos de la NIE 2007. (Peres est pourtant pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme un mod\u00e9r\u00e9; quant \u00e0 Albright, elle rencontrait Peres un peu comme une \u00e9missaire d’une possible prochaine administration Hillaruy Clinton.) Ces divers constats et ces remarques montrent que les Isra\u00e9liens craignent d’avoir subi un revers de grande dimension dans cette affaire, autant \u00e0 cause de l’absence de consultation US avec eux durant l’\u00e9laboration de NIE 2007, qu’\u00e0 cause du contenu de NIE 2007, cela sur une mati\u00e8re aussi sensible, sinon vitale pour eux que l’Iran. C’est la premi\u00e8re affaire de cette importance depuis le 11 septembre 2001 et le signe que le caract\u00e8re extraordinairement proche des relations des USA avec Isra\u00ebl depuis cette date est peut-\u00eatre arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 son terme. Il est par exemple manifeste que les relations entre services de renseignement isra\u00e9lien et US vont d\u00e9sormais \u00eatre marqu\u00e9s par une r\u00e9elle suspicion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

De plus en plus d’indications montrent que l’affaire de la NIE 2007 a notamment fait une victime de marque: Isra\u00ebl.
