The occupation does not trust its side
Despite what is rumored and written that there is a deal to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and that this deal does not exclude the Palestinian side, which presented its demands to Saudi Arabia and the American administration, the occupying state is continuing with its policy of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in its favor through what it is doing in the West Bank... This includes practices, violations and crimes in East Jerusalem, most notably cold-blooded murders, the continuation of settlement and ethnic cleansing operations in several areas of the West Bank, attacks by herds of settlers, and work to increase their number to reach one million settlers under the current government, which is one of the most extreme, racist and hostile occupation governments to everything that is Palestinian and Arab.
Yesterday, it was approved to transform three settlement outposts into settlements in the Hebron and Jericho regions, in addition to Israeli decisions to expand roads in the West Bank for the benefit of settlers at the expense of Palestinian land, and to besiege citizens and work to demonize them within the framework of the policy aimed at displacing them either voluntarily through attacks on them and confiscation of their lands, destroying their crops and cutting down their trees, especially olive trees, to make them unable to bear life and emigrate of their own free will, or by carrying out the largest ethnic cleansing while waiting for the appropriate time and then the opportunity arises to empty the West Bank of its people and plant it with more settlements and settlers.
In addition to this matter, there are other things that the occupying state and the herds of settlers are doing to resolve the conflict in its favor, and that any agreements that may be concluded with the Saudi side through America and the provision of so-called concessions to the Palestinian side, as if the occupying state is the one that owns the country and is the one that is giving up, the occupying state will not abide by it. Thus, as is achieved by disavowing all agreements signed with the Palestinian side, even though these agreements detract from the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people to return, self-determination, and establishing an independent state with Holy Jerusalem as its capital. It is enough that these agreements recognized the occupying state on 78% of the Palestinian land, compared to 22%, which is the territories occupied in 1967. Despite this, the occupying state has violated and continues to violate this through settlement expansion and creeping annexation, especially in the Jordan Valley and other surrounding areas in Jerusalem and within the Holy City.
The Palestinian side must not continue to bet on the possibility that the occupying state will provide anything to the Palestinians. On the contrary, it will continue its procedures and policies based on ending and resolving the conflict in its favor by intensifying settlement and increasing the number of settlers, in addition to other violations and crimes, using force. Thinking that it can force our people to give up their inalienable national rights.
The time has come to unite ranks and restore national unity because it is the only way to force the occupation to recognize the rights of our people in full and without compromise. As for the situation remaining as it is, the only beneficiary is the occupation at the expense of the cause of our people.
The occupation does not trustful, and the one whose mind is tested by the tempter is ruined, as our popular proverb says, and as the noble Prophetic hadith says (A believer is not stung from the same hole twice).
