Negotiations are still stalled

Washington's statements about the Doha round of negotiations on August 15 and 16, 2024, on the subject of the Gaza war, that it had achieved positive steps and was approaching an agreement to cease fire and exchange prisoners, are not new, because in all previous rounds of negotiations, such statements were issued by the United States itself, unlike the Qatari and Egyptian mediators, who were more reserved in expressing and describing what had been achieved.

The three mediators did not issue a word about the failure of the Doha Round negotiations, which extended to next week in Cairo, as no agreement was reached on the four main issues, which are:

1- Ceasefire 2- Withdrawal from the Gaza Strip 3- Return of the displaced to the northern Gaza Strip 4- Exchange of prisoners, in addition to providing relief requirements of food and medicine for the hungry.

Americans are the most enthusiastic about reaching an agreement, and this is due to the motives of the US presidential and midterm elections for the two houses of Congress on 11-5-2024, the House of Representatives and the Senate, as the Democratic Party seeks to achieve an achievement to brag about to voters in the face of the defeated President Trump, who accuses the Biden administration of inability and failure to stand by the colony.

The US administration also seeks to block the expansion of the size of the shocks in the Arab region, and to prevent regional clashes with Iran, which imposes American-European intervention in favor of the colony, and imposes Russian-Chinese intervention in favor of Iran and its support, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict turns into a regional conflict and international interventions, in which the Americans have no interest.

The Israeli colony, its government, and Netanyahu's extremist coalition team of allies Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and Foreign Minister Israel Katz, have no interest in a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, because that means moving the state of failure and failure they fell into due to the October 7 operation and its repercussions to a state of defeat, and they are working to avoid it and not fall into it, and they are helped in this by the interventions of the Americans and Europeans who have mobilized their forces to flow into the region in an unprecedented manner of this magnitude, value, and number.

The Palestinians have held out for this long despite the heavy losses in people and property, but they have not yet won. If a ceasefire is reached and prisoners are exchanged, this will be an indication of their steadfastness, success and victory, and this is not what the United States and Europe want, in addition to the colony, of course.

The conflict on the ground and in the field continues, and the Israeli ferocity and crimes have not stopped, coupled with the political conflict at the negotiating table. The negotiations and their results will reflect what has been achieved on the ground, in the confrontation on the valiant and courageous land of Gaza, which is waging its battle, the battle of dignity, freedom and independence, and with it, Arab solidarity, by the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Yemeni Ansar Allah, and some Iraqi factions, and they have no interest in Iran’s intervention in one way or another, because Netanyahu is the one who seeks to expand the scope of the clash, so that its title is an Israeli-Iranian conflict, jumping from the essence of the conflict on the land of Palestine between the two conflicting and contradictory projects: 1- The Palestinian national democratic project in confrontation 2- The Israeli colonial expansionist project, and other than that are mere repercussions, whether in solidarity with the suffering and aspirations of the Palestinian people, or with the colony and its expansionist occupation ambitions.

The conflict will only be resolved on the ground, inside Palestine and not outside it, no matter how severe the repercussions are. The basis is Palestine because the conflict is in it and over it, and its impact is on what is around it.
