A senior Arab analyst sharply criticized the weak positions of Arab leaders at yesterday's Cairo meeting and warned of the trap the Zionist regime, with the support of the US and Arab regimes, is setting for the Palestinian people.
According to Ashura News, quoted by Mehr News Agency, "Abdul Bari Atwan", a famous Palestinian analyst and editor of the Rai al-Youm newspaper, in his new editorial for this newspaper referred to the Arab summit in Cairo that was held yesterday and wrote: Addressing the rapid reconstruction project of the Gaza Strip and holding an international conference to discuss the necessary budget to implement this project without displacing the people of Gaza, which was mentioned in the final statement of the Arab summit in Cairo, is a good point; but the ladder of priorities inverts and ignores important and crucial issues.
Atwan added: "We will explain further and say that the Zionist regime's deliberate insult to this summit and all participants in it or even those who boycotted this summit is openly seen in the hunger war against the Gaza Strip, with the halting of humanitarian aid to this strip for the past two days, coinciding with the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan." This action by the Zionist regime and its American backer is an open insult to the Arabs and their humiliation, and they are sure that the Arabs will not respond to these insults, as they have done in the past.
The Palestinian writer added: Initial reports from inside the famine-stricken Gaza Strip indicate the increasing concern and fear of death by starvation for 2 million people in this strip, where the occupation regime has closed all crossings to trucks carrying aid to Gaza, the price of basic goods has increased by 200 percent, and the occupation regime is using the weapon of hunger to kill Palestinians, all in front of the ears and eyes of the Arabs who are sitting at luxurious tables. We really do not know how the Arabs can hold these luxurious feasts, while their fasting brothers just a few kilometers away in the Gaza Strip cannot find even a loaf of bread, dates, or water to break their fast.
The article continues: The occupying regime, by using the weapon of starvation against the people of Gaza, is directly challenging the Arab leaders participating in the Cairo summit, and its goal is to provoke and blackmail these Arab rulers and force them to exert pressure on the resistance movements in the Gaza Strip led by Hamas to surrender to the regime’s conditions; namely, extending the first phase of the ceasefire agreement and evading all clauses of the agreement, including the complete withdrawal of the Zionists from the Gaza Strip and a complete cessation of hostilities. (It should be noted that this pressure on Hamas began before the Cairo summit and is still increasing.)
The Arabic-speaking writer noted: If this Arab summit and its participants do not take practical steps to confront this bullying by the Zionist regime and its American support for it, it will be a stain of shame that carries a heavy price and will embolden the occupying regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue the war of hunger and genocide that has been raging in the occupied Gaza Strip for the past year and a half.
Atwan emphasized: "We all have no doubt that all the Arab leaders who participated in the Cairo meeting will not fire a single bullet to defend the two million Arab Muslims in the Gaza Strip, and the Palestinian people and hundreds of millions of people from other nations around the world have also been disappointed by such a request, which is of course a legitimate and moral request; because most Arab rulers have actually killed themselves and do not have an ounce of courage, dignity, or national and moral responsibility, and if they hear the name of the Gaza resistance, they will faint."
According to this article, opposing the displacement of the people of the Gaza Strip is a good step, but it is not a heroic act and is not in the framework of defending the people of Gaza. Previously, many non-Muslims in Europe and elsewhere had also opposed and condemned the displacement of the Palestinian people, but Arab leaders oppose the project of displacing the Palestinians primarily to defend themselves and their own national security.
The editor of Rai al-Youm continued: "The Arab leaders know very well that if they do not react to this conspiratorial project that starts from Gaza and extends to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and all the countries that are candidates for hosting Palestinian refugees, Netanyahu will never oppose the creation of an independent Palestinian state, but rather he will strongly support it; but this state must be established in the Arabian Peninsula. Today we see how Netanyahu has occupied an area in southern Syria that is twice the area of the Gaza Strip and has also occupied a wide and long border strip of Lebanon, and other dangerous projects are on the way."
The note continues: If the Arab Summit does not take practical decisions for immediate implementation, the first of which is to confront the Zionist regime’s war of genocide and starvation against Gaza, the second is to stop all mediations, which are actually a cover for the Zionist regime’s aggressions and crimes against the West Bank, Gaza, and southern Lebanon, and the third is to expel the Zionist regime’s ambassadors from their capitals and completely cut off ties with Tel Aviv, then all participants in this summit will have a black mark of shame on their foreheads and will enter through the widest gates of shame and disgrace.
Abdul Bari Atwan emphasized: “Perhaps the resistance groups will retreat a little to protect the blood of the people of Gaza, but they should never lay down their weapons under Arab, American, and Zionist pressure. Throughout history, no resistance movement has laid down its weapons; Except for the Palestine Liberation Organization, which unfortunately laid down its arms without gaining any concessions, and worst of all, used its arms to protect the occupying regime and the Zionist criminals.
The author of this article warned at the end: Therefore, after the successful performance that the Palestine Liberation Organization demonstrated in serving the Zionists and protecting their interests in the West Bank, it may also take power in the Gaza Strip. But its rule in Gaza will not last long; of course, if it can rule here, because a wise man is not bitten twice by the same hole, and we do not think that the Palestinian resistance groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip will be caught in the trap that the Zionists spread with the support of the United States and the Arab governments.
