Both of these nations were much stronger when they relied on their own people for manufacturing, supply chains and military protection of secure borders.

But Israel has now agreed to join the U.S. in a diabolical plan to hand over sovereignty on matters of "public health emergencies" to the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO).

Israeli leaders apparently have short memories.

Just three years ago, in May 2019, the WHO passed a resolution accusing Israel of perpetuating a "public health crisis" in the Palestinian territories.

In 2019, a nation accused of having a public health emergency still had the right to disagree with the WHO's assessment and tell that global body to go pound sand.

That right still exists but is hanging by a thread.

If the U.S.-sponsored amendments to the International Health Regulations get passed by a majority of the 194 WHO member states next week at the WHO's World Health Assembly in Geneva, the new rules will go into effect in six months, which is in November. And unless the amendments get watered down or removed at the last minute, the signatories will cede their sovereignty over who gets the final word on declaring public health emergencies to the WHO. The current leadership of the U.S., the E.U., U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and now Israel all think this would be a good idea, as do quite a few other nations.
