Will the Arab States, members of the League, follow the example and determination of Algeria in the UN Security Council on the Palestinian question? The opening, this Thursday, of the work of the summit in Manama, capital of Bahrain, is described as a real turning point and an indicator of the policy of the Arab States on the process of normalization with a criminal and genocidal Zionist entity, condemned everywhere across the world.
There is no doubt that the situation in Palestine, mainly in the Gaza Strip, ravaged by Israeli bombs and carnage for more than seven months, will dominate the agenda of this summit.
According to observers, this is one more test for Arab regimes which either maintain diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv, or refuse to take radical and clear-cut decisions on the crimes committed by the Zionists against the Palestinian civilian populations, as This is the case of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, which maintain very close relations with Netanyahu’s criminal regime.
Everywhere, world public opinion is shocked, traumatized and completely devastated by Israeli cruelties. Western universities are experiencing unprecedented turmoil, intellectuals, workers and NGO A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit association of public interest, which does not come under the control of the State or international institutions. denounce and demonstrate against this Zionist aggression on civilians.
Will Arab leaders go beyond the traditional resolution of condemnation of Zionist crimes and move towards another powerful and convincing discourse? There is little hope of seeing this summit emerge with a strong text, capable of putting pressure on Tel Aviv which challenges the world and the international community. The Israeli government does not listen to its own allies or other supporters. Not deigning to respond to any call, whether from the United Nations or from humanitarian NGOs, he will surely not worry about the outcome of this Arab summit.
As a reminder, Algeria had demanded, during the last summit held in Saudi Arabia and in the emergency meetings of the Arab League in Cairo, the total severance of political, diplomatic, economic, commercial and cultural relations with this bloodthirsty and racist. This call further demonstrates Algeria’s commitments to making the Palestinian cause a strategic priority in the Security Council and other international organizations.
This effort has already borne its first fruits: the recognition of the State of Palestine by the UN General Assembly, the opening of investigations into Zionist crimes by the International Criminal Court, as well as resolutions condemning the genocidal policies committed in the occupied territories and its multiple violations of human rights.
For Algeria, the status of non-impunity that has stuck to Israel since its creation in 1948, with the blessing of the West, must end. Faithful to its principles and ideals, Algeria has pleaded, in a clear manner, for the recognition of the State of Palestine as a sovereign State, for the establishment of a lasting and permanent ceasefire in this region, to the cessation of the murderous madness of Tel Aviv and its relentlessness on everything that is Palestinian.
It remains to be seen whether the Manama summit is capable of following Algeria’s commitments in international forums and finally achieving this long-awaited Arab surge.
