Israeli cabinet deliberations on Scud attacks and potential US‑Israel military coordination (1990‑91)
Israeli cabinet deliberations on Scud attacks and potential US‑Israel military coordination (1990‑91) The passage reveals internal Israeli cabinet debate, involving future prime minister Ehud Olmert and former foreign minister Dan Meridor, about responding to Iraqi Scud attacks and the pressure from US‑led coalition. It mentions a planned delegation to Washington to convey Israel’s stance, suggesting a possible back‑channel diplomatic effort. While the names and context are known, the specific reference to a secret meeting with Shamir and the timing of a US‑Israel liaison could provide a concrete lead for further archival or FOIA requests on US‑Israeli coordination during the Gulf War. Key insights: Shamir convened a closed‑door session with Dan Meridor, Misha (likely a senior official), and the author to gauge opinions on a military response to Iraqi Scuds.; Olmert and Meridor expressed concerns about damaging US‑Israeli relations if Israel acted militarily.; Three nights of Scud attacks on Tel Aviv suburbs increased pressure on Shamir to consider retaliation.
