The Weakness of the Arab League Summit and the Invasion of Israel
The Weakness of the Arab League Summit and the Invasion of IsraelBy: Journalist Analysis - Abdul Bari Taher
From the beginning, the Arab Summit was reduced to the Gulf States that have strong relations with America and cannot override its will. This summit is described as a consultative and fraternal meeting, which means that what will be proposed will be nothing more than advice. Islamic advice is based on opinions and is not binding, even for those who give it. Countries that may have a different opinion have been excluded from the preparation: Algeria and Tunisia. As for Egypt, it is in a critical position.
It is the one that proposes an alternative plan to the plan of Trump and Netanyahu, and it and Jordan realize that they are targets and want a minimum of support from the summit. All the Palestinian Authority wants is formal recognition of its legitimacy and the exclusion of Hamas, which it considers a greater threat than Israel. Neither Algeria nor Tunisia participated; excluding them from the summit preparations was of course intentional, and Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, was not present at the meeting and was not the sponsor of the plan.
Part of the strength of the plan and the speech is the presence of leadership, and its absence means – in a sense – its weakness. The plan is therefore twice as weak.
First: it is an opinion of brothers, a consultation, and not binding.
Second: the remaining Arab parties of Arab power that could oppose it are absent. These are Algeria and Tunisia.
Third: the absence of Mohammed bin Salman – the original engineer, Mohammed bin Salman.
The absence of Bin Salman, and the absence of Algeria and Tunisia, is not without meaning. Not mentioning Hamas (the leadership of the resistance) and talking about its exclusion and disarmament is interpreted as appeasement for America, Trump and Israel. Commentators and political observers pointed out the avoidance of reference to the war of extermination, the prevention of UNRWA activities and the failure to deliver food and basic supplies, and that the speech of the UN Secretary-General and the representative of the European Union was stronger than that of the UN leaders.
It is true that the speeches of the leaders of the Arab summits are clownish and stillborn, but at the extraordinary summit in Cairo on March 4, they were boring and meant nothing. The only reference to war crimes and the decision of the International Criminal Court was in the speech of the representative of the State of Oman. Now, after the dispersal of Samer, the entire burden falls on Egypt and Jordan, but Palestine belongs to God.
Two Arab and Islamic summits in Saudi Arabia, meetings and an exceptional summit in Egypt, which fail to deliver a single carton of water to two million Palestinians who are dying of hunger and thirst. The speech of the Lebanese president was perhaps the most courageous and sincere. Destroying Iraq and Syria, turning one's back on Palestine and Lebanon, and participating in the war against Libya, Sudan and Yemen have led to the hateful result we have reached today.
Trump and Netanyahu want to seize Gaza, Judaize the West Bank, displace the immigrants of 1948 and 1967, threaten Egypt and Jordan, and blame what is happening on Arab domination. Abrahamic will be imposed on everyone, normalization will be forced, and Israel will dominate the entire Arab region.
Will the positive aspects of the summit be the rejection of population displacement, the rejection of Trump’s ownership of Gaza, the reconstruction that will find its way to implementation and resistance to war?
What Trump and the Biblical Zionist right want is greater than the illusions of America’s friends and the promise of two states. The catastrophe is that the exposure of Arab weakness strengthens the Israeli incursion and Trump’s recklessness.
