The former Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency and former Egyptian presidential candidate, Mohamed ElBaradei, launched a scathing attack on the international system, describing it as an 'illusory international community'. ElBaradei expressed his shock at the absence of a resounding reaction to the humanitarian tragedy and the genocide faced by the Palestinian people, emphasizing that what is happening is occurring before the eyes of the entire world without real action.
In a post on the 'X' platform, ElBaradei expressed deep disappointment at the state of silence and stagnation dominating the scene, considering that the inability to stop this suffering indicates the death of a part of the inner human conscience. These statements came in the context of his commentary on the successive developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which he sees as exceeding the limits of human endurance.
ElBaradei warned that the Israeli occupation authorities are exploiting the current circumstances to implement a comprehensive plan aimed at definitively liquidating the Palestinian cause. He pointed out that this move comes amidst the global powers' preoccupation with other issues, foremost among them what he described as the aggressive and illegitimate war targeting Iran, which provides cover for the continuation of violations in the occupied territories.
The prominent Egyptian politician also noted that the situation in the Gaza Strip is becoming more tragic day by day, while the situation in the occupied West Bank is no less serious. He explained that the West Bank is witnessing an unprecedented acceleration in the pace of settlement expansion, in addition to the escalation of forced displacement policies aimed at emptying the land of its original inhabitants and changing the demographic reality.
ElBaradei strongly criticized the mere issuance of daily condemnation and denunciation statements by countries and international organizations, considering them merely tools to throw dust in people's eyes. He stressed that these entities lack the necessary credibility to translate their words into actions, emphasizing that the absence of deterrent practical measures encourages the continuation of crimes against Palestinians.
ElBaradei concluded his vision by affirming that relying on the international community in its current form has become a losing bet in the absence of genuine political will. He called for a review of Arab and international positions regarding what is happening, warning that history will not forgive those who fail to support the rightful owners in the face of the relentless war and settlement machine.
It seems that a part within us has died; the international community is illusory, content with condemnation statements without the courage to take practical measures.
