Jerusalem is not for sale or bargaining

Written by: Sri Al Qudwa*


And Jerusalem, with all its civilized, Arab and Islamic components, and its cultural and religious heritage, remains the eternal capital of the State of Palestine with its Islamic and Christian sanctities, and in accordance with the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law. The Israeli flag is a natural matter, and therefore the march of the flags will pass according to its natural course, as he put it, and that those sterile positions and Israeli statements about Jerusalem will not give legitimacy to the occupation of the city and the occupation will end, no matter how long it takes.

The international community, especially the US administration, must assume its responsibilities to stop the Israeli violations and stop dealing with the existing double standards, which the occupation benefits from in its continued evasion of the entitlements of the peace process and pushing the region towards more acts of chaos and rival conflicts, which reflect the extent of the ideological conflict within Israeli society, which is mainly based on violence. The hostility and practice of hatred against the Palestinian people, especially in Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories, which contributes to the continuation of the policy of extremism and terrorism, which has become an essential part of the Israeli work system and the approach adopted by the extremist and racist occupation government.

The occupation government does not care about the decisions of international legitimacy and the endeavors and initiatives to establish peace and justice. In light of the practice of this policy and the continuation of the aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque, targeting it with Israeli flags, and trying to impose policies of Judaization and theft of history, these positions cannot achieve security and stability in the region as long as the occupation government continues its war on the people. The Palestinian, his land and sanctities, dealing as a state above the law, rejecting the resolutions of international legitimacy and the foundations on which the peace process was based, and not abiding by them, and flouting all international resolutions in disregard and disregard for international law.

The occupation government must realize the facts it practices on the ground and that the only way to achieve stability and lasting peace passes through fulfilling the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that Jerusalem and its sanctities are not for sale and peace will not be at any price, and the Palestinian people stationed in Al-Aqsa Mosque and cannons On behalf of the Islamic and Christian sanctities in the city of Jerusalem, the capital of the eternal state, they will keep the covenant and the promise, as they confront with their bare chests the settlers who are trying to desecrate Al-Aqsa Mosque, and stand together to protect it from the Israeli occupation forces, believing in the inevitability of victory and ready to confront the usurper occupier, no matter the sacrifices.

No one can overlook the legendary steadfastness and resistance of the Palestinian people to the occupation, especially the Palestinian people in the city of Jerusalem, who show courage that is unparalleled in this time and defend the Holy City and its sanctities, embodying national unity and ensuring the integration of Palestinian performance in all places of presence, whether in the occupied interior or in places of diaspora. In order to thwart the occupation plans that target the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites.

And those demonstrations that took place in various countries of the world to condemn the occupation and its racist aggression are only an affirmation that the Palestinian people face the occupation and its settlers with more patience and steadfastness in order to fight the battle to defend Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa and thwart all plans that target the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem, stressing that the fate of these plans is failure, as the previous ones And that the Palestinian people will be victorious and achieve their goals of liberation and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
