Reuters. 25 September 2002. Saddam says U.S. allows Israel to spurn U.N.; Israel unmoved by U.S. plea to end Arafat siege. BAGHDAD and JERUSALEM -- Iraqi President Saddam Hussein accused the United States on Wednesday of allowing Israel to flout U.N. resolutions at a time it is threatening Iraq with military action. "America was speaking recently about its keenness on Security Council resolutions and international law and today it is required to apply this keenness on the Zionist entity," Iraqi television quoted Saddam as saying during a cabinet meeting. "International law and the Security Council resolutions were trampled on and nobody objects, and in particular the Americans... do not object," Saddam added. Some Arab states had criticised Washington for not putting pressure on its ally Israel to implement U.N. resolutions which call on Israel to withdraw from occupied Arab territory. Israel faced international isolation this week after the Security Council approved a resolution urging the Jewish state to halt its siege of the headquarters of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank. The United States abstained. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government did not respond publicly to a U.S. request to abide by a U.N. resolution calling for an immediate end to the six-day-old siege of the Palestinian president's headquarters. But Israeli diplomatic sources said Israel had no intention of complying. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
