[5] “Indeed, in May 1965, Tunisian foreign minister Habib Bourguiba Jr. (the president’s son) came to Washington in search of financial support for Tunisia’s four-year economic development plan. The State Department prodded the Israelis to “convince” the Germans and the French to grant Tunisia $20 million in aid, and for Israel to purchase Tunisian wine. The Israelis intervened on behalf of Tunisia without prior coordination with Tunis. It was hoped that despite Tunisia’s relatively marginal role in inter-Arab affairs, Bourguiba might enlist the help of moderate Arab leaders and together they would foil or sabotage Egyptian and Syrian Arab unity efforts.”    أنظر المرجع السابق

“(…) Once the size and scope of Palestinian activities in Tunis became clear, Israeli intelligence operatives began a crash program to recruit Tunisian agents. Some were found abroad, others within Tunisia itself.

Some Tunisian "assets," for whom greed was the incentive, were told the truth, that they were working for Israeli intelligence. High-ranking Tunisian officials were recruited under false pretenses, believing that they would be helping European intelligence services. And some Tunisians, resentful of the PLO presence in their country, volunteered their services to the Israelis.”

“USEUCOM is a unified combatant command whose mission is to maintain ready forces to conduct the full spectrum of military operations unilaterally or in concert with the coalition partners; to enhance transatlantic security through support to NATO; to promote regional stability; and advance U.S. interests in Europe Africa, and the Middle East."

[15] “EUCOM has remained actively engaged in Africa, with mixed results. U.S. participation in recent peacekeeping operations in Liberia has been effective and appropriately limited. The command is also looking at establishing basing arrangements in countries like Tunisia and Morocco so that U.S. forces can deploy to the continent more effectively if American troops are required.”
[16] في الملاحظة (14) للتقرير نقرأ ما يلي:
“According to the EUCOM commander, these basing options would be "footprints with dirt strips and very low-level maintenance, but strategically in place. As you might imagine, a lot of those would be perhaps somewhere in Africa and the like. They have been called `lily pads.' That's not a bad visual term to explain the concept, as opposed to the massive, fixed base of the 20th century."

“In Africa, virtually all of the facilities where the U.S. is looking at
establishing a presence will require infrastructure improvements. In North
Africa, Pentagon officials are looking at establishing semipermanent bases
in Algeria, Morocco and possibly Tunisia. The U.S. expects to keep a small
number of troops at these facilities and then rotate through a larger force.”

[25] “The center of gravity for the last 50 years in the alliance has been in Western Europe, but the center of activity is, in my perspective, moving east, and I think it’s not an understatement to say that the geo-strategic center of interest for the foreseeable future has to be the greater Middle East. And therefore the U.S. footprint [deployment] legitimately has to adjust to be as supportive as possible. There’s also an emerging concern, not only for the alliance but for the United States, to our south. Africa is replete with ungoverned spaces for attracting the merchants of terrorism, radical fundamentalism, weapons of mass destruction and all kinds of criminality, and I think we’re going to see more of that.”

[31] Chicago Tribune. April 18, 1999. U.S. ADMIRAL SAYS ITALY NOW UNFIT FOR AIR TRAINING.

“With the United States strictly observing Italian rules on low-altitude flights since a Marine jet severed a ski gondola cable last year, killing 20 people, Italy is now unsuitable for some essential training, an American admiral said Friday.

The admiral, Joseph Prueher, who disclosed part of a report on new flight rules that he wrote with Lt. Gen. Leonardo Tricarico of the Italian Air Force, said the United States is looking for other training sites, including in Tunisia and Morocco.”
