These are known statements that does not mean much as German chancellor right went after invasion and offer all the help he could to Bush. similar thing happened with Turkey. apparently you have no understanding of control opposition and control choas where intermediate power eat every one else and its official still take all the jobs from the host after going out of government.
Gulf states invest in countries that ultimately benefit EU. At this rate Turkey exports alone will be $10b to Israel. if you add Turkey part of Germanic Europe. than EU dominance over Israel is absolute.
where you get this information? some of the largest investments and refineries in US are Gulf owned. dont go by empty political talk.
