The Palestinian leadership and the Next Impasse

A number of Arab countries followed the path of the "Trump-Abraham" agreements in 2020 AD at a rapid pace in the framework of caring for the private internal affairs of each country, and achieving its economic interests as a priority with the Israeli through the provisions of these agreements of "mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom including religious freedom" in accordance with the conventions.


And through what the agreements also stipulated in terms of “exerting efforts to promote dialogue across religions and cultures to promote a culture of peace…”, and through confronting the Arab countries that signed with the occupation to “common challenges”! Through "cooperation and dialogue", and through "development of friendly relations between countries", and in pursuit of "tolerance and respect for people to make this world a place where everyone enjoys a decent life and hope!"


The signatories said they support "science, art, medicine, and commerce as a means of inspiring humanity and maximizing its potential, and bringing nations closer together" and also through: "cooperation in the fields of health care, science and technology, the peaceful uses of outer space, tourism, culture and sports, energy, the environment, and education!", arrangements Maritime, Telecommunications and Post, Agriculture and Food Security, Water and Legal Cooperation.


Despite some vague or indirect references that the Arab side intended to include the Palestinians, their direct mention was turned into a deal or a slap of the era for Trump. They were not specifically included, or with a clarification of the Arab-Palestinian demands. Rather, the discourse of generalities with regard to the (central!) Or achieve the independence of the existing State of Palestine, according to the United Nations.
The signatories said in general that "they seek to end extremism and conflict in the (Middle East)" region, and to "establish peace, diplomatic relations and the full normalization of relations...". And also "promoting a culture of peace between the two communities"! Although there was no existing armed or unarmed conflict between the signatory Arab countries and the Israeli occupation, neither in the recent nor the distant past. Where the signatories at the time, including the occupation, sought to "achieve a vision of peace, security and prosperity in the Middle East and in the world."!
In the agreements tagged with the name of Trump and Abram or the biblical Abraham, the intruder to Muslims, the Palestinian cause or the name of Palestine had no mention at all, which clearly meant that the central stage of the Palestinian issue or the liberation of Palestine, or even the independence of the existing State of Palestine but under occupation, the curtain has come down on it. And the issue lost its priority in the Arab official system, as it dropped its sanctity, and where no reference was made to the city of Jerusalem or the Islamic and Christian sanctities in all of Palestine at all either.


Despite the generality, ambiguity and ambiguity of many texts that did not agree, and do not yet agree with the practices of the Israeli occupation, as imposed by its terrorist settler militias with the army and government by force, killing, land theft, arrest...etc. But it has no real meaning such as “hope”, “children”, “peace”, “closeness”, “cooperation”, “care”, “dignity”! It has no real meaning because it is all - and more - fallen into Zionist practices in Palestine.
And to the great surprise at that time, cooperation in the field of "education", whose meaning was not understood? However, the intent was to abolish what is related to the right of the Arabs in Palestine in terms of the historical narrative at least! Or the abolition of the Qur’anic verses that address the oppressors of the Jews, or the ancient defunct tribe of Bani Israel?


In general, these are agreements that are bypassed by Israel in Palestine, and even America is not mentioned much, and it has proven, in fact, its abject failure in curbing the occupation from the minimum of its daily terrorist, aggressive and extremist actions until today. In achieving Zionist hegemony over the region on the one hand, and in dragging the Arabs to bypass Palestine and the Palestinian cause, even culturally and intellectually.


Regardless of the opinion on the "Trump-Accord Agreements" and Trump's deal, which the occupation clearly destroyed by losing hope and bringing down peace, what is emerging these days about the Saudi track with its expected relations with the Israelis requires the Palestinian leadership first and foremost to pause carefully and think carefully about the next steps in an era After the American exclusivity in the rapidly coming world, and in the modern era of the kingdom led by Prince Mohammed bin Salman.


It is known that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has supported the Palestinian cause since its inception. It is the owner of all the political initiatives that were launched at various stages to save the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization from falling, and even before that in light of the Egyptian-Saudi Nasserist conflict. President Abdel Nasser directed the leadership of the "Fatah" movement to open relations with Saudi Arabia, which indicates the centrality of This role is even known to those who disagree with it.


Saudi requirements and interests must be dealt with with caution, care, and respect, and the extent to which they are linked to the ever-strong Palestine, the greatness of its cause and its people, and its consideration as inalienable in the region because it, that is, Palestine, is the seal or the key to true peace and the key to war within the framework of what is being leaked about the US-Israeli-Saudi deal.


The current situation places heavy burdens on the shoulders of the Palestinian leadership, between fortifying national principles and goals that cannot be abandoned, and between looking at a shining lamp that does not sever any relationship with a major country in the region such as Saudi Arabia on the one hand, and in a way that does not make the Arab-Israeli conflict finished. Since the end of this conflict can never be achieved without self-determination on the one hand and the return of refugees, and the achievement of the independence of the State of Palestine, which is established by natural, historical and legal right and recognized as a member of the United Nations in 2012 AD, on the other hand.


The form of dealing with the countries of the "Trump Abraham Accords", which is actually boycotting these countries or reducing the level of dealing and relations with them, may not be correct in the concept of political realism, and it is not correct, especially in the political course that is rolling today between repositioning and the reversal of ideas and positions, and it is not correct in light of what The state of Israeli aggression is doing it with its fascist government on the one hand, and from its endeavor to achieve hegemony over the nation and encircle Palestine from the six sides, despite the Palestinian leadership’s opinion as a whole, which is still clear on the need to implement the King Abdullah initiative - the Saudi Arab initiative from A to Z and not the other way around with the necessity of the scheduled Israeli withdrawal from the land of the State of Palestine.


The new Palestinian vision or policy must never neglect the just Arab-Palestinian narrative, and the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people in their land and their historic homeland is guaranteed by all international laws, and it must not neglect the liberation of the State of Palestine from the Israeli occupation. And do not neglect that the name of the State of Palestine under occupation (and not the Authority or others) be blatant when signing any upcoming Arab agreements, especially after the occupation failed in what was required of it by the Trumpian agreements, and before that when it destroyed the Oslo agreements, which must be reflected in the course of Palestinian relations with The new world, and with the new kingdom.
