Afrasianet - Ahmed Atawneh - Many writers and historians, including the well-known writer Muhammad Hassanein Heikal, believe that the wars that led to the establishment of Israel as a colonial tool in our region, and as a functional state serving imperialist policies and ambitions, were largely controlled by the dominant colonial powers of the time, especially Great Britain, in order for the Zionist guerrillas to emerge at the time, which would later form the Israeli occupation army as a lethal military force capable of defeating a group of Arab armies combined.

This contributed to the construction of a false narrative that lasted for decades: that the IDF is the "invincible army." To this end, Arab armies were introduced, some unqualified and others led by British officers who controlled their decision and level of participation in battles with known results in advance.

It can be said that this strategy has succeeded for many decades, but it has declined significantly after the emergence of Palestinian and Arab resistance forces and factions, as well as after the 1973 war, when the Israeli army's deterrence capacity began to erode little by little, and this army needed direct Western support, and sometimes even operational partnership in battles.

The change in the scene culminated in the military confrontations with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and the Lebanese resistance, where Israel has repeatedly failed to achieve its goals of war, or to subdue its opponents, who have demonstrated determination, strength and determination. 

After the exceptional blow that the Israeli occupation state received on the seventh of October 2023, which was known as the Al-Aqsa flood, and the strategic repercussions of this blow at all levels, which appeared as a real threat to the entity and its future, it seems that the entity and its international sponsors, especially the United States of America, have decided to reproduce the old Israel, Israel, the colonial military and security proxy capable of deterring and beating anyone who thinks of challenging it or challenging Western colonial hegemony in the region.

Israel has always played this role, striking everywhere with freedom, force and without far consequences, and carrying out attacks in the Arab world from the far west in Tunisia, when it carried out a military landing operation during which it assassinated Khalil al-Wazir Abu Jihad, a prominent leader of Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

And in the east of Iraq, when it destroyed the nuclear reactor there, and it also did not stop the and beating in Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, and in many countries in secret and overt operations.

The change brought about by the resistance forces in the region on this particular equation in Lebanon and Gaza, and the construction of an equation of deterrence in which Israel seemed handcuffed in this geography, and calculated the excesses to the extent that it could not force Hezbollah to remove some of the tents it had placed on the southern border and considered by Israel a violation of the border.

As well as its inability to harm the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the martyr Yahya Sinwar, after the 2014 war, when he defied the occupation by assassinating him while walking in the streets of Gaza after finishing the press conference he was holding at that moment.

Today, a year and a half after the battle of the Al-Aqsa flood and the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip, it seems that the United States believes that it is facing a historic opportunity to reproduce the "policeman of the region", rehabilitate its security agent and colonial tool and shape the region again so that the Zionist entity is in its security, economic and political center.

It embraces the Israeli vision, despite being right-wing fascist and religious, of the conflict in the region entirely, including the displacement of Palestinians and the non-recognition of any of their political rights.

•    The absence of any fundamental or significant differences between the position of the previous US administration, "Democratic", and the current "Republican" administration towards the war from its first day until today, indicates that the political, military, security and economic establishment is consistent with this vision and the goals of the war.

•    Unlimited military and political support for Israel's aggression against anyone it wants in the region, and providing it with everything necessary to strike strikes in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Iran.

•    The expected normalization with a number of Arab and Islamic countries and the huge economic project known as the Economic Corridor linking India to Europe through the Middle East through Israel, also aims to restore and compensate for what Israel lost as a result of the strike of the seventh of October and the subsequent war on both levels:  Political and economic.

•    Returning to the policy of threat and Israeli power, and waving it in the face of the countries and peoples of the region, as Trump repeated more than once, when he called on Israel to end the mission in Gaza, while providing all the requirements for that militarily, as well as in Lebanon through Morgan Ortagus, Deputy Special Envoy of the US President, who expressed her gratitude to Israel for destroying Hezbollah, and called for a commitment to dismantle its weapons, otherwise Israel can resume carrying out the mission.

•    The United States' refusal so far to propose any logical and political solutions that could constitute a compromise between the parties, and its obstruction of all political tracks, whether in Lebanon or Gaza, in favor of imposing the Israeli vision, gives the impression that it supports the idea of resolving the conflict in favor of the Zionist project, and helping it in what it considers subjugation to its enemies.

•     This hostile American policy, which is completely biased towards the Israeli occupation, certainly helps in the continuation and nutrition of the conflict, and will not bring stability or security, and will sooner or later push for transformations and explosions in the region, and it represents a number of strategic and existential dangers that go beyond the Palestinians and their cause, to many countries and peoples of the region, and which may result:

•    Undermining the common Arab-Islamic national security and Qatari national security of many countries, and deepening the differences between Arab and Islamic countries, as Israel will invest in them in order to strengthen its position and weaken everyone. Israel will continue to be able to intervene directly in internal and internal affairs and confront all collective and individual aspirations for development and development, especially in both the military and security aspects.

•    Israel does not hide its intentions and plans to divide many countries in the region, whether with the aim of colonial expansion or to weaken countries, and strengthen their divisions, sectarian and national crises, which also enhances the risks of civil wars in many countries that enjoy ethnic, sectarian and sectarian diversity.

•    This diversity, which should be a factor enriching the experience of those countries, since the peoples of the region have been able to live with it for many decades, will turn the occupation into an explosive agent and feed and support everything that would cause division, clash and chaos.

•    Threatening the Palestinian presence on its land and squandering its political ambitions. This new start of the Zionist project will pose a real danger to the Palestinian presence on its land, especially in light of the adoption by the fascist government in Tel Aviv of what is known as the decisive plan, which stipulates the need to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians in favor of the Zionist project through settlement, subjugation, killing and displacement.

•     It will also threaten his political and national ambitions, because the same plan, the decisive plan, emphasizes that the land between the river and the sea can only accommodate the national aspirations of one people, which in their view is "the Jewish people, and that the Palestinian should seek his national aspirations elsewhere.

•    Hindering the progress and development of many ambitious projects, economically and politically, in the region, whether at the national or collective level, and depriving peoples of their hopes for change and the development of their countries into stable pluralistic civil states. Israel will ensure that the countries of the region remain totalitarian, weak, poor and corrupt. It will prevent the establishment of influential regional alliances or agreements.

•   The expected growth of its economic role will exacerbate the economic crises of poor countries in the region, which have been counting on partnership and trade exchange with their wealthy sisters, given that Israel will be a trade and investment alternative.

•    Some of the expected projects will put pressure on the economies of many countries because they will threaten large economic projects that the countries of the region have long relied on, such as the Suez Canal, electric power generation projects, food industries, and technology in more than one country.

•    The danger to the movements for change in the Arab and Muslim world has worsened because Israel considers the forces of change as its enemy, just as change itself.

•    This could lead to popular frustration and anger that could reproduce radical movements that plunge many countries into internal conflicts.

•    In the face of this serious attempt to reproduce Israel as a military base and an advanced colonial tool for the hegemonic and colonial powers, in particular the United States, and because of the dangers we have outlined, confronting this attempt becomes a moral, national, national and humanitarian duty, which is certainly not limited to the Palestinian or his resistance, but extends to the forces and movements of change in the region, and countries that wish to renaissance and progress and believe in human and universal values. 

•    Thwarting this attempt is the duty of the historical moment that no one should abandon, and supporting and supporting all those who resist it is a necessity for everyone, and therefore supporting the Palestinian resistance and confronting attempts to destroy or eliminate it is vital for many actors, forces, peoples and countries around the world.
