When will Israel wake up from the arrogance of power?!

The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues after 12 days of attacks, incursions, the demolition of institutions, and the deaths of hundreds of innocent children, the elderly, and many who have no ability to participate in the war. In this war, Israel committed many massacres, the most notable of which happened in the Baptist Hospital, where hundreds gathered either to request medical service or because they believed that the hospital was far from being bombed. But what happened was exactly the opposite, and Israel bombed the hospital and hundreds of citizens fell inside or in the courtyard. Israel also bombed one of the mosques in the Gaza Strip, causing severe damage to those present there, as well as to the building itself.

These attacks led thousands of citizens to leave the northern area of the Gaza Strip, which is completely adjacent to Israel, and head to the south, perhaps where the dangers are less than in the north.

The head of the Yisrael Our Home party, Avigdor Lieberman, came out with broad criticism of the United Nations and claimed that this international organization was making mistakes and misleading, especially in its positions regarding Palestinian refugees. This reckless extremist proposed establishing a city for refugees in Sinai, considering that this solution was appropriate and at the right time. He also called for pressure on Egypt to accept this solution.

This continued aggression against the Gaza Strip sparked widespread reactions, and President Abu Mazen withdrew from the meeting that was proposed in Amman for a number of Arab leaders. He said that he would return to Ramallah to study the major developments and Israeli attacks, which called for the cancellation of the quadripartite summit that was scheduled, and after his return. Abu Mazen declared general mourning for the souls of the martyrs of Gaza.

The situation in the Gaza Strip does not seem to be on its way to calm, but what is happening is the opposite. Developments have begun to take shape in the West Bank as well, which has begun to move in condemnation of the occupation and all its practices.
These conditions that we are living in in light of the occupation’s arrogance and attacks, and its disregard for all international and humanitarian laws, may lead to the explosion of the region, and we have begun to notice this with the tension between Lebanon and Israel and the mutual attacks between the two sides and the possibility of this tension expanding, which makes Israel face two battles in the far north, with Lebanon and in the introduction. Hezbollah, in the far south, with the Gaza Strip, led by Hamas.

What is required in these situations: First, for all Arab countries to take a serious and influential stance so that Israel feels what it may face from the Arab nation, and second, what is required internationally is for there to be a strong, realistic and influential voice so that Israel feels the danger... and respects laws and rights.

In any case, our people are steadfast and cling to their land and rights, regardless of the developments, and if Israel feels strong and arrogant today, it must know that the future is ours and that what strength it has is destined to disappear.
