Israel Approves of Wolfowitz and World Bank head Honcho by Kurt Nimmo

Not surprisingly, Israel likes the idea of Paul Wolfowitz heading up the World Bank. “Senior Israeli officials reacted with satisfaction Wednesday to news that US President George W. Bush tapped Paul Wolfowitz as his choice to be the next head of the World Bank,” writes the neocon Jerusalem Post. “Wolfowitz’s appointment to head the World Bank will have significance for Israel since the World Bank is expected to play a key economic role in Gaza after Israel’s withdrawal… The World Bank is expected to supervise the implementation of hundreds of million of dollars worth of projects to rebuild Gaza. One official said that Wolfowitz would likely ensure that the Palestinians fulfill strict conditions regarding reform and democratization in order to get the money.”
