A military blockade will not work

Jerusalem Hadith

The military siege on many areas in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, in a desperate attempt to deter citizens and harm the resistance fighters, who are responding to the violations and crimes of the occupation by several means, after enough is enough, and the Palestinian people have no choice but to confront the violations and crimes of the occupation forces herds of settlers.


The military siege imposed on the city of Nablus and its environs, coupled with the attacks of settlers and the occupation forces, especially on Hawara, near Nablus, cannot work, and it cannot make the citizens acquiesce or conform to the policies and goals of the occupation in undermining their cause and their inalienable national rights to return and self-determination. Fate and the establishment of an independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. On the contrary, such violations will intensify the conflict and confrontation between the Palestinian people and the occupation forces and herds of settlers who wreak havoc on the land with the support of the occupation government, the Minister of Defense and other occupying security agencies.


The lack of a political horizon as a result of the occupying state’s rejection of peace, its attempts to reduce the conflict instead of resolving it, and proposing economic solutions instead of political solutions, along with the practices and violations of its forces deployed along the West Bank and its breadth, including East Jerusalem, in addition to the attacks of herds of settlers that affected people, trees and stones, are behind What is happening in the West Bank in terms of resistance to the occupation, especially since the youth do not see any future for them under the occupation and its attempts to confirm this occupation, taking advantage of the international, local, Arab and Islamic conditions to implement its policies, which will, as in the past, be doomed to inevitable failure.


The simplest way to establish security and peace in the region is the end of the occupation and the recognition of our people's inalienable and inalienable national rights.


The first steps in this direction, which the occupation has no choice but to resort to sooner or later, is to lift the siege on cities, villages and camps, especially the city of Nablus and its environs, and to curb the herds of settlers and delinquency to peace based on the two-state solution according to the international vision, leading to ending the occupation. And his irreversible departure from the Palestinian land.


Without that, the situation will go from bad to worse, and the other side, the occupation, will also pay the price, not the Palestinian people alone.


Also, the state of hostility will increase, which complicates matters, and therefore the price that will be paid in terms of blood will be many times over for delinquency to peace.
