Afrasianet - In keeping with the rituals in front of the Buraq Wall, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made sure to place a piece of paper in one of the cracks in the wall, which read: "May peace prevail in this holy land and in the world."
Then, together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the U.S. ambassador to the occupying power, he participated in the recitation of some psalms and prayers for the comfort of U.S. President Donald Trump and the Israeli hostages, according to an official statement from the Western Wall Foundation. Judaism, more than a visit to the head of American diplomacy, is evidenced by the fact that Rubio took his wife to share this ritual of the "Hajj", and Netanyahu took him to inaugurate an archaeological tunnel that not only adds to the occupation of the city of Jerusalem after the blatant religious and symbolic violation, but also threatens the integrity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque structure and damages the architecture of the Islamic holy places. Washington is unique from the entire world in its blessing, coverage, and supply of weapons, money, and diplomatic cover?
In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continues to occupy more neighborhoods in Gaza City, destroying residential towers and buildings, forcing women, children and the elderly to be forcibly uprooted into the unknown, in addition to tightening the already suffocating siege, bombing hospitals and refugee camps, and killing hundreds of martyrs.
In the West Bank, the manifestations of de facto annexation, the strengthening of settlements, and the transfer of settlements to the heart of Area E1 are increasing, in a way that breaks the geographical contiguity between the Palestinian territories.
All this is days away from the Israeli war crime of targeting Hamas leaders in the heart of the Qatari capital, Doha, even as they are gathered to study the proposals of the US president himself on a ceasefire deal and the exchange of hostages and prisoners, and hours before Qatar hosted an exceptional Arab and Islamic summit, which is the culmination of a wave of comprehensive international condemnation of Israeli state terrorism.
It is strange, but it was expected in such contexts that Rubio would refrain from making any statement that addressed the White House's embarrassment over the Israeli, that the media would be prevented from asking questions, and that the usual leaks would be entrusted with confirming the weak position that President Trump is "unhappy" with the Israeli aggression on Doha.
Netanyahu also expected that this false "pilgrim" would follow the example of some of his hosts who are war criminals, and during his press conference with Netanyahu, he described the men of the Palestinian resistance as "barbaric animals", repeating the phrase of former Israeli Minister of War Yoav Gallant, who considered that the occupying state is fighting "human animals." Except for the Holy Land itself.
