"PLO" .. between the Al-Aqsa flood and the iron swords

Since October 7, 2023, two battles have been taking place. The first is the Al-Aqsa Flood, which was planned and executed by the Hamas leadership, and the second battle is an Israeli aggression called “Iron Swords,” which aims to kill and displace civilians and destroy infrastructure and service facilities.

The Palestinian Authority has no role, neither in the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, nor in the negotiations, nor in stopping this battle.

The second battle included air, artillery and tank shelling of civilians, infrastructure and civilian facilities.

This led to demonstrations all over the world, South Africa and others turning to the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to accuse Israel of genocide, and the issuance of global condemnations of the aggression, the severing of relations, the withdrawal of ambassadors, and international recognition of the Palestinian state. The aggression also led to the entry of support fronts from Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq, with the aim of stopping this aggression.

The role of the Authority was clear in international courts and discussions of the Security Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations. Some Palestinian ambassadors also played a role in demonstrations and marches.

In the first battle, there is no role for the Authority, and in the legal battle, there is no role for Hamas.

The Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization behind it are the competent legal body accepted in international courts and foreign relations, and it alone bears responsibility for political moves to stop the aggression on Gaza and the West Bank.

The role of the Palestinian embassies in 100 countries has not been at the required level, nor is it commensurate with the size and number of these missions and the tasks that the Palestinian people expect from them. With limited exceptions, you rarely hear about the activity of these embassies and diplomatic missions. At the same time, we expect the Palestinian Foreign Ministry and its embassies to begin preparing files that condemn Israel, and those who stand with it publicly and secretly, from foreigners and Arabs, on charges of participating in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian media and diplomatic missions should start coordinating with the friendly Western media to spread the facts about the genocide taking place in Palestine. The West should know that it is accused and a partner in the war of extermination.

The terms "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" must be spread in every corner of the West and Western and global institutions. This is the minimum role of the hundred Palestinian embassies and consulates abroad.

After the battles are over, the Authority and Hamas can sit down and discuss how to heal the wounds, how to rebuild Gaza, and how to prosecute Israel for its crimes. This is how unity is embodied, and this is the least we can do.
