Middle East analyst: The armed intifada in Palestine has sidelined the reconciliation process
According to IRNA, he made the remarks today, Tuesday, at a press conference entitled “The Horizon of Palestine Developments and Its Security Impacts on Iran,” hosted by the Noor Thinkers Study Center in Tehran.
The meeting coincided with escalating tensions in occupied Palestine, during which Dr. Saadullah Zarei reviewed the recent violence in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the rapid developments in Palestine, given its security implications for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Developments in the 1948 Palestinian territories are unprecedented
Referring to the developments in Palestine, Zarei said at the beginning of the meeting: “We are now in the atmosphere of events and developments in Palestine in the 1948 territories, which has been unprecedented during the last 40 years and has been proposed as an important security measure and a new phase for the Palestinian nation.” Is. The movements carried out by the Israeli army around Al-Aqsa Mosque and East Jerusalem in general, the widespread arrests that take place, and the daily and nightly clashes that the Israeli police carry out in Palestine, show the great sensitivity of the situation for It is Israel. For this regime, Ramadan and the third decade of Ramadan are very sensitive, and in this decade, the Israelis have always witnessed serious events against themselves. First, Ramadan is an ideal month for Muslims, and in Palestine, Muslims are more spiritually prepared, and according to Islamic beliefs, the jihad that takes place during Ramadan is more valuable than other months. For example, the Battle of Badr was in the month of Ramadan, in which the Muslims were promised victory, and the Muslims defeated the infidels with a smaller number.
He added: “The Zionist regime during Ramadan has a terrible memory of the Ramadan 1973 war, which is also called the October war and the Boom Kipur war.” This day is the day of the Jewish religious holiday in which the Jews fast and the day of the fast of the Jews is also considered, but the war of Ramadan or Yom Kippur is a bitter memory for the Zionists and they in this The war suffered a great blow. During the Ramadan war or the Yom Kippur, Egypt and Syria were able to surprise Israel in a lightning operation, and a large part of the Golan fell to the Syrian army, and the Sinai Desert was almost completely given to Egypt; Although there were other incidents later in the war, according to their own statistics, the Israelis killed more than 2,800 people and wounded 9,000, while the Israelis always announced less statistics, and this memory Bitter remains in the minds of the Israelis, so Ramadan is important for the Arabs, and the first thing that showed Israel’s defeat was the Ramadan war, which showed that the Israeli army can be defeated, and after that, the Israelis will go. They pursued peace, and the story of Camp David was followed by Tel Aviv after the same Ramadan war. Later, Israel has always been in a state of mental crisis during Ramadan and has always been waiting for unexpected events during this month.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the heart of the developments in Palestine
In another part of his speech, Zarei said: Another point in the discussions these days is the issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque. This mosque is the heart of the developments in Palestine, and the first main point of Palestine is Al-Aqsa Mosque as the first qibla of Muslims. It should be noted that the Jews never used their qibla as Al-Aqsa Mosque, because the Jews do not have a Qibla, but Al-Aqsa Mosque is the first qibla of Muslims, and before Muslims, Al-Aqsa Mosque was not the qibla of any group. Also in the month of Ramadan, the issue of the Ascension of the Prophet from Al-Aqsa Mosque has occurred, which is described in the Qur’an and in Surah al-Isra, and this story is very important for Muslims and shows the important position of Al-Aqsa Mosque. For this reason, this place and time are very important for Muslims. For Sunnis, 27 months of Ramadan is important as the night of Ghadr, and for Shiites, this night is also recommended. Therefore, for Israelis, the period from the 17th of Ramadan, which is the time of the Prophet’s ascension, to the end of the month is very sensitive, and of course another event made this period important, and that was the Ramadan war last year in 2021. Last year’s war in Palestine is very important, because it was the first time that the Palestinians started a war, and this war took place during Ramadan, which was to defend Jerusalem. So last year’s Palestinian war is important both spatially and temporally, and the Palestinians call it the Saif al-Quds war. Therefore, the issue of sanctity and the effort to preserve Jerusalem is not only a historical issue of the past, but also a current issue for the Palestinians, such as the battle of Saif al-Quds in Ramadan last year, which shows that Palestine is alive and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is still the focus of mobilization. And the Palestinian forces, and this can not be ignored for Muslims.
A new feature of the developments in Palestine
Referring to the recent Palestinian conflict with Israel, the head of the Noor thinkers’ study center said: “It should be noted that in the 1948 territories, which cover about 70% of the Palestinian territories from the Lebanese and Jordanian borders to the Gulf of Aqaba, these territories in It has been the Israeli security zone for the past 50 years, and the UN resolutions and the Oslo and Madrid agreements have worked hard on this Israeli plan, and other subsequent compromise plans have been with the approval of the 1948 territories, and the Palestine Liberation Organization is the subject of the territories. 1948 was accepted under the Oslo Accords. However, in these lands, a large population of Palestinians still exists and lives, and out of the population of 8 million Israelis, 2 million are Palestinian Arabs who, despite the past silence, are now pursuing security and military movements. The last four operations during the two weeks in the 1948 territories have been very unexpected for the Israelis. For the Israelis, the question is where did the weapons come from in these areas and why did Shabak not discover these heavy weapons and how were the operatives able to carry out their operations in different areas of 1948? For Israel, the question now is how many weapons are available to the Palestinians in the 1948 areas? Therefore, Israel is now involved in the internal territories, and unlike in the past, when the wars were outside the occupied territories, but now the internal Palestinian front has been activated and the war has become Israel’s security and internal war.
Zarei added: “The second point is that in the previous wars, the Israeli side in the war was well-known Palestinian organizations.” For example, there was a 12-day war with Hamas, and other wars were with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, all of which had an organizational identity. Therefore, when there is a war with the organization, it can be stopped at some point, like the previous mediations carried out by Egypt between the occupiers and the resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. But the current battle scene is not mediated, and Israel can not enter into a dialogue with anyone, and it is directly involved with the body of Palestinian society.
He continued: “The third issue is that the armed actions of the Palestinians in 1948 were unequivocally and immediately supported by the Resistance Front, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, the resistance of Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen, and these developments gained regional coverage and inside Palestine. All Palestinian organizations supported this action, and even the Fatah movement supported the Palestinian action. Therefore, the Israelis could not describe the recent Palestinian actions as blind and terrorist, and especially these actions took place at a time when an Arab axis was formed to compromise with Israel. The Abrahamic peace agreement was reached in the same office of the founding of Israel. Therefore, the current compromise agreement began in 1948 in the same conditions of the Intifada, and if we examine the news coverage of the Palestinian side, we will find out which issues the world pays more attention to, and at least 10 news related to the Palestinian operation in the media and only one The news is about the treacherous summit of compromise with Israel. At the same time, the Israelis traveled to Bahrain and Turkey to demonstrate reconciliation beyond the Arab front, but the recent armed intifada marginalized developments in reconciliation. The intifada also marginalized the Oslo Accords and marginalized and isolated Mahmoud Abbas’s government as Oslo’s legacy, but the armed wing of the Fatah movement became active and showed that there were deep differences between the Fatah movement and the PA.
All Israeli roads are deadlocked
The Israelis are in a state of shock and there are still some dangerous days ahead for Israel until the 27th of Ramadan. However, this does not mean that the situation will return to normal after Ramadan, but big things may happen in these 10 days, and Tel Aviv is worried that Hamas will not respond militarily, because now is the worst time for Israel to go to war because of three There is a simultaneous economic, political and security crisis in this regime. Now Israel is worried that it will not go to war, and this situation shows that the situation is beyond the control of Tel Aviv, because it has no ability to fight, and the cost of any war for Tel Aviv is very high and there is no possibility of victory. On the other hand, the hopes of the Palestinians have increased, and at the Arab level, adaptive tendencies have been marginalized and revolutionary tendencies have been strengthened. This situation can not be controlled by Israel and the United States in any way, and the West and Israel have no means to control this situation. Previously, political agreements such as the Oslo Accords and the Ibrahim Accords could not save them, the war, including last year, did not work and they did not succeed, and the economic siege of Gaza, which began in 2007, failed to help Israel. Therefore, all Israeli solutions to face the Palestinian people have reached a dead end, and Tel Aviv’s solutions have been severely ineffective and weakened, and these show the downfall of Israel.
