Afrasianet - Swallowing the earth, terrorizing the people and undermining the regime, these are the three axes on which Israel's systematic and organized daily practices and procedures in occupied Palestine are distributed.
The Netanyahu government's decision to refuse to allow the Arab/Islamic ministerial delegation to enter Ramallah was characterized by a lot of arrogance and arrogance, and internalized many meanings of disregard and "lack of respect" for the Arab system. Tel Aviv did not see the visit of the delegation of ministers as "half the way" to normalization, as described by the opponents of the visit, Arabs and Palestinians, but rather as a blatant challenge and a "provocation" to the neo-fascist government with its agenda and priorities, which are no secret to anyone.
However, the "aborted" visit, in its preparatory context for the New York conference scheduled for the seventeenth of this month, and the previous Israeli expansionist and settlement steps and decisions of a strategic nature, re-shed light on the current situation in the West Bank, and the titles of the strategic Israeli orientation appeared, whether in terms of the future of the occupied Palestinian territories, or regarding what the Arab/international movement is about: the two-state solution and the recognition of an independent Palestinian state.
In this sense, the Netanyahu government viewed the visit of the Arab/Islamic delegation as a step that falls in a context that is completely opposite to the priorities of the strategy regarding the Palestinian cause, land, people, rights and sanctities, not caring that it is the first visit by a senior Saudi official since the occupation of the West Bank, and even since the visit of the late Saudi King Faisal to Jerusalem in 1966, nor because Saudi Arabia is by all standards the "crown degree" of the Abrahamic Path, and the grand consolation prize that awaits it if it stops the war on Gaza, and accepts – Even verbally – with the broad demand for a "two-state solution."
Israel did not care that the visiting delegation includes in its ranks – with a teacher's tie – the most important Arab countries (and Turkey), all of which are involved to this or that extent, in peace with them, and engaged to this or that extent, in bilateral normalization paths, which were not affected or shaken even after twenty months of the war of encirclement, cleansing, starvation and extermination in the Gaza Strip... Tel Aviv did not weigh the "passion" of the Trump administration, and the Biden administration before it, in generalizing the "Abrahamic Peace" to more Arab and Islamic countries, always in a new Middle Eastern context, subject to US-Israeli hegemony.
Not because Israel is an ascetic in normalization, or because it does not want this "new Middle East" to see the light of day, but because it does not want to pay for it, any price of any kind and of any size. Tel Aviv has a list of priorities, topped by the projects of extermination, cleansing, annexation and displacement, and then, only after that, can we consider what relations can be established with Arab and Muslim capitals...
Normalization is no longer a decisive priority in the calculations of Israeli policy, there are more important priorities, and the decision to prevent the visit of the delegation has demonstrated the decreasing weight of our Arab and Islamic countries in the calculations of Israeli policy, as the Arab official system has been adopting "diplomacy without claws", content with condemnation, denunciation and appeal, and appealing to the international community to play roles on its behalf, and to take measures that its countries do not want to take, nor have the political will to try them.
Three goals
In addition to what was said about the consultation and coordination on the eve of the Paris and New York conferences, the Arab ministers set three stated and implicit objectives for their "aborted" visit to Ramallah:
(1) Consolidating the eroding position of the Palestinian Authority and rescuing it from the "collapse scenario"...
(2) Encouraging Western and other countries to recognize a Palestinian state, albeit on paper, as Israel Katz said.
(3) Mobilizing international support for the "two-state solution", as the most realistic and practical solution to this protracted conflict, despite its difficulties.
These goals, direct and indirect, clash with the agenda of the fascist right-wing government in Tel Aviv, which does not let an opportunity pass without employing it to undermine the status of the authority, for which neither the "sacred security coordination" with the occupation nor its anti-resistance positions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and everywhere have interceded for it. The ruling coalition, backed by an Israeli majority, decided to undermine the idea of a Palestinian state, once and for all.
What Israel is doing in the West Bank, and Jerusalem in particular, is not a secret to anyone, and the Palestinian and Arab citizen does not need analysts and experts to explain the goals and objectives of Israeli policy, they say publicly what they want to do, boldly beyond rudeness, and follow their words with deeds, and we will prevail in a "state of denial", we see the wolf in front of our eyes, and we strive to search for "retributionists" to find out the location of "hate", while "Israel" is going relentlessly, in destroying the idea of a Palestinian state, with its three pillars: The land, the people and the political system.
Swallowing the land, terrorizing the people and undermining the regime, these are the three axes on which Israel's practices and daily procedures, systematic and organized, are distributed..."Israel" preceded the visit of the Arab delegation, with an unprecedented decision since the occupation of 67, to establish and recognize "22" settlements and outposts, extending from the north to the south of the West Bank, passing through Jerusalem, the central region and the Jordan Valley... Before that, Netanyahu's government was taking one of its most serious decisions, when it transferred responsibility for land and real estate registration in Area C to Smotrich, as the second minister in the Defense Ministry, in charge of the Civil Administration of the West Bank... Israel is in the process of canceling major roads in the West Bank and opening "tunnels" for the movement of Palestinians, to bypass the dismemberment of Palestinian land, which with the presence of 800,000 settlers, has turned into "cantons" isolated from each other.
The terrorization of the people turned after the seventh of October into a nightmare that haunts the Palestinians, after the fall of nearly a thousand martyrs, and the injury of many times their folds, the arrest of more than 15 thousand citizens, the displacement of more than 2000 Bedouin villages south of Hebron and the Jordan Valley in "Area C" to areas (A and B), and the displacement of more than forty thousand citizens from the camps of Jenin, Tulkarm and its vicinity, as part of an announced plan, to remove the camps and hunt UNRWA (and the right of return), and the deployment of nearly A thousand military checkpoints, many of them, were transformed into crossings resembling "international crossings," in an effort to dismember the people and the land, and to cram Palestinians into " concentration camps," reproducing the Jewish experience under the shadow of German Nazism.
As for the undermining of the Palestinian political system, this is manifested in the policy of drying up the sources of power, confiscating clearance funds, undermining any "sovereign" role for it, even if it is "nominal", and in its "temporary capital", in addition to deliberate humiliation operations that do not exclude its president and prime minister, as happened when it obstructed his exit from Ramallah to visit Damascus, and when it prevented the Arab ministerial delegation from reaching its headquarters in the "boycott", operations from which almost no one survives, including the security and police services. Justice, civil society institutions and financial and economic institutions.
Israel does not want power, not because, God forbid, it poses a security threat to its occupation, but because it indicates the "possibilities" of its transformation into a state. It refuses to empower it in the West Bank, cuts off its legs and arms in Jerusalem, and denies it access to the Gaza Strip, even the "next day" or the next...Israel is proceeding with the "city links" project, and all it can allow is a form of "non-united Palestinian Emirates."
In Jerusalem, the projects of Israelization, Judaization and threats are intensifying, the Netanyahu government is holding its meeting in a settlement outpost in the Silwan neighborhood, and road signs are pointing to the location of "the Temple, not the Haram al-Sharif, and the desecration of Al-Aqsa is no longer an individual act, but a systematic policy organized, funded and sponsored by the occupation government, and members of the Knesset boast that they are storming the mosque in their thousands, holding biblical prayers and practicing their Talmudic rituals, without anyone moving a finger... They view what they are doing today inside the Haram and its courtyards as a "dress rehearsal" to remove this pure Islamic trace, without fear of "the applicability of the heavens to the earth", as some of us warn, motivated by hope and hope, and perhaps by "hopeful thinking".
Israel is continuing to translate its strategy towards the West Bank, and does not want anyone to disturb it, neither because of an unwanted visit by an Arab ministerial delegation, nor as a result of an international movement aimed at mobilizing international recognition of the Palestinian state and forging an "irreversible path" towards the "two-state solution", and unless the Arabs "arm their diplomacy" with some fangs and claws, this movement is not expected to change the conditions on the ground, and this is the meaning that Katz meant, when he said, "They recognize a Palestinian state on paper, and we We establish the state of the Jews on earth."
Any efforts aimed at isolating Israel and delegitimizing its long and bitter occupation are steps in the right direction and in the longer term in the interest of the Palestinians, but the "exaggeration" of the value and impact of this movement is what should be alerted to its dangers, especially since there are "leaders" of this movement: France wants Western recognition of the Palestinian state (on paper) to fall within the context of a "package" that leads to Arab and Islamic recognition, and perhaps free normalization, of a Jewish-Israeli "state" on the ground, so that the "barter" becomes unjust, and saves Tel Aviv from the danger of isolation and isolation.
