The new phase and reliance on it
- Everyone is talking about a new phase that the region will witness in light of the Saudi move to find a solution to the Palestinian issue and normalize relations between the Kingdom and Israel, which in turn, if this happens, many Arab and Islamic countries will normalize with the Israel, especially if it commits to implementing the Arab initiative, which is originally Saudi. The Arab and Islamic countries agreed to it, or most of them certainly.
- However, what draws attention is that the Israel is the one that is currently, in the past, and perhaps in the future, standing in front of this new phase and preventing it from implementing what is required of it for the security and stability of the region and putting an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has gone on for a long time without any solutions.
- On the contrary, any initiative or proposed solution is failed by Israel, especially if this solution emphasizes Palestinian national rights and the necessity of Israel implementing international resolutions related to the Palestinian issue, which affirm the right of the Palestinians to establish their independent state and the withdrawal of Israel from the lands it occupied in 1967, Including East Jerusalem.
- We believe that the new phase will not take place as long as Israel continues the cancerous settlement and works to increase the number of settler herds in the occupied territories, including Jerusalem, and the West Bank is considered Israeli territory, and the settlers have the right to settle there, and as long as the settler herds continue their attacks on the Palestinian people, In addition to the occupation forces continuing their crimes against everything that is Palestinian, the annexation, Judaization and Israelization of Jerusalem, the daily attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and many violations such as house demolitions and ethnic cleansing operations in more than one place and location to push citizens to leave the land of our fathers and grandfathers, which they baptized with the blood of martyrs and prisoners of freedom.
- The practices of the occupation and its failure to recognize international resolutions, laws and norms, especially those related to the Palestinian issue, are what will fail any aspirations to make the region stable without wars and conflicts, just as all previous initiatives and attempts at solutions have failed.
- Therefore, we say that we should not rely too much on the possibility of the region witnessing a new phase, as long as Israel continues its arrogance, believing that the power it possesses can resolve the conflict in the region in its favor and erase and liquidate the Palestinian issue, and it is important to do so, because power will not last and the Palestinian people who adhere to their full rights are... Who will prevail in the end, sooner or later, and then all the occupation’s attempts to liquidate the issue will be in vain. Will Israel understand that, or will it continue in its error until it is defeated?!!
