“We can't negotiate about the existence of Israel, but we can reduce its size to historical proportions,” Henry Kissinger, the 56th Secretary of State of the United States from 1973 to 1977, told his Iraqi counterpart in a high-level meeting three decades ago, according to a December 1975 memo presenting details of a conversation between Kissinger and Foreign Affairs Minister Saadoun Hammadi eight years after Iraq cut its ties with the U.S.

Highlighting U.S. efforts at that time to win friends in the Arab world while it was aiding Israel militarily, the papers further quoted Kissinger as saying:

“We are on the other side of the fence,” Kissinger said at that time.

“What the United States is doing is not to create peace but to create a situation dominated by Israel.”

“Our attitude is not unsympathetic to Iraq. Don't believe; watch it.”

“Israel will be like Lebanon - struggling for existence, with no influence in the Arab world,” said Kissinger, who also stated that the U.S. public was more sympathetic with the Palestinians’ struggle for independence, claiming that Washington was reconsidering the huge amount of aid it gives the Jewish State.

But Hammadi was still skepticalabout Kissinger’s claims. He asked him whether the U.S. would recognize Palestinian identity and a Palestinian state.

“Is it in your power to create such a thing?” Hammadi asked.

But Kissinger replied with a little bit maneuver, telling him that he can’t make recognition of Palestinian identity happen right away.

“No solution is possible without it,” Kissinger said.

“After a settlement, Israel will be a small friendly country,”
