The ongoing settler crimes in the West Bank reveal the falsity of Western values ​​and show the flaws in the security provisions of the Oslo Accords and its annexes

The Palestinian people are no longer subjected to crimes of murder, assassination, wounding, war, demolition, house bombing, arrest, land confiscation and Judaization by the Israeli security forces, but have recently begun to be exposed to the crimes of house burning and desecration of mosques and churches in broad daylight by herds of settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

And while the repeated settler attacks on defenseless Palestinian citizens and their property in Jerusalem and the West Bank, especially in the villages and towns that are located in the areas under Israeli security responsibility (B + C) according to the Oslo Accords, are part of the Israeli army's campaign known as the breakwater, which the army was Its implementation began about a year and a half ago, but at the same time it constitutes crimes described in accordance with international laws and norms and principles of human rights.

In addition to considering these crimes as clear indications of the failure of the Israeli security establishment to achieve its stated objectives of the Breakwater campaign, which is evident in the army allowing these flocks of settlers to commit these crimes under its protection and supervision, they are also considered as irrefutable evidence of the fascism and racism of Zionist settler colonialism. For Palestine and its partners from the West, which continues to protect and support Israel and guarantee its evasion from condemnation and sanctions, which makes this West an actual partner in these crimes.

And since it is no secret to the youngest observers of the scene that the West's protection of the perpetrators of these crimes against the defenseless Palestinian people makes it easier for them to carry out more of them, which seems clear in the series of crimes carried out against the Palestinians and their property in the West Bank, at least since the beginning of this year.

After the Hawara Holocaust on Sunday, corresponding to 26/2/2023, with the protection of the army and the support and encouragement of the Minister of Finance and the Minister in the Ministry of Security, Bazelil Smotrich, which corresponds completely and completely with the “Night of Broken Glass” according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, when groups of German Nazis came under the protection of the police. By burning and destroying Jewish shops and synagogues in 1938 following the assassination of a German diplomat in Paris by a Jewish youth, larger groups of settlers, with the protection of units of the army, set out on the Turmusaya crematorium last Wednesday corresponding to 6/20/2023, but with the support and blessing this time from The Israeli Minister of National Security, Ben Gvir, accepted Smotrich’s partner in the current government, which means that more holocausts and crimes will be carried out by the settlers and the army against the Palestinians in the coming days as long as the world that claims liberalism, democracy and justice does not take the initiative to provide the necessary protection for the Palestinian people, as it hastened and took the initiative to provide what is necessary From the support of the people in Ukraine against the Russian aggression against Ukraine according to the rhetoric of the West.

While these crimes show the weakness of the international community and its institutions in providing protection to the Palestinian people from the increasing settler crimes in the West Bank, they reveal at the same time the shortcomings of the security provisions included in the Oslo Accords, which are considered the legal basis for the Palestinian security establishment. The task of the Palestinian security services is to maintain internal security and public order, and it forbids Palestinians, individuals and groups outside the security services, to own weapons, even for self-defense purposes.

This seems clear in the texts of Articles No. (A/3, 8) of the Declaration of Principles document known as the Oslo Accords, which was signed in September 1993 in the American capital, Washington, between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the government of the State of Israel, where the first article stipulated {. …the Palestinian police (security services) shall ensure public order}, while Article 2, which was mentioned under the title of public order and security, stipulates that “in order to ensure public order and internal security for the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Council (i.e. the Authority) will establish a police force strong, while Israel will continue to assume the responsibility for defending external threats, as well as the responsibility for the overall security of Israelis for the purpose of protecting their internal security and public order."

Article No. (XIV), i.e., Article No. (14) of the Transitional Phase Agreement, which was signed in 1995, in Cairo, assumed the task of controlling the explanation and interpretation of the articles contained in the Declaration of Principles Agreement, in four paragraphs, including: “It is prohibited for any armed force to operate in the West Bank, except for the Palestinian police and the Israeli army.” It also defined the functions, functions, structures, equipment, and theater of operations of the Palestinian police.

The facts on the ground, three decades after the agreement, especially in the West Bank, show that the Israeli negotiator has restricted the Palestinians with unfair provisions, as the articles regulating the security services were devoid of any reference to self-defense, and left the task of defending the Palestinians to the Israeli army, and most importantly, they denied the basic pillars that The concept of order is based on them, and the interpretation of public order is confined to the hands of the Palestinian police or the Palestinian security that is restricted by the terms of the agreements, which contradicts the concept of the idea of ​​public order, which all legal scholars see as representing a set of basic principles, philosophical ideas and supreme values ​​that represent the political, economic, social and cultural system. On which the state and society's perception of these systems is based.

The foregoing shows that there is a Palestinian necessity to deviate from these unfair clauses against the Palestinians in the signed agreements, especially since Israel has violated and disregarded them and allowed settlers and other Israelis to carry weapons and use these weapons to carry out crimes against the Palestinians, as is happening daily in Jerusalem and the West Bank. In addition, the transitional period has ended for more than two decades, and the most important thing is that the Palestinian Authority, which was established according to these agreements, has become a state according to Resolution No. (19/67) issued by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012.

Based on that, I argue at the end of this article that the quickest and safest step to deviate from these articles lies in adopting the draft constitution of Palestine to be the basis upon which the state under occupation is based with all its institutions, especially the security establishment. Here, the Palestinian debate and dialogue must focus.
