PALESTINIAN PEOPLE ARE NOT ALONE IN THEIR STRUGGLE
The United Arab Emirites ( UAE ) and Israel have signed an Agreement at US White House on August 13 th , 2020 . It calls upon the UAE to establish full diplomatic ties with Israel and , in exchange , Israel to suspend its plans to annex parts of the Palestinian territories in the West-Bank .
The deal , doubtlessly , is a product of US conspiracy to undermine the long drawn struggle of Palestinian people for Homeland and erect new hurdles in the way of peaceful and reasonable resolution of Palestinian question .
It is also a product of US strategic design and attempt to grab , divide and dismantle the support base of Palestinian people in the Arab World ; sharpen the aggressive teeth of Israeli Zionists further so as to use Israel as a weapon to impose its domination over it . It also lays the road to spread the tentacles of Israel ’ s plunder widely in the Middle East . Through a decree issued after the signing of deal the UAE Govt . said : ‘’ It will be permissible to enter , exchange or posses Israeli goods and products of all kinds in the UAE and trade in them ”. Netanyahu , Israeli Prime Minister welcomed it and said : “ It opens the door for unbridled trade , tourism , investments , exchanges between the Middle East ’ s most advanced economies .” He also said that the delegations of both Countries would meet soon to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment , tourism , direct flights , security , telecommunications , technology , energy , healthcare , culture , the
6 environment , the establishment of reciprocal embassies and other areas of mutual benefit .” “ You will see how the sparks fly on this . It is already happening ,” and predicted that “ today ’ s breakthrough will become tomorrow ’ s norms . It will pave the way for other countries to normalize their ties with Israel .”
The UAE and Israel deal says that Israel will “ suspend its planned annexations of Palestinian lands .” But , Netanyahu hastened to stress that Israel was not abandoning its plan to annex the Jordan valley and Jewish settlements across the ( Israeli ) occupied ( Palestinian ) lands in West Bank . He clarified that “ he had only agreed to delay not cancel , the annexations ”. The plans remained “ on the table .”
Thus the Arab regimes normalizing relations with Israeli rulers are playing a big game of deceit . Quite justifiably , therefore , the Palestinian leadership called the UAE – Israel deal as “ betrayal ”, and a “ step to blow up the Arab Peace Initiative and the decisions of the Arab and Islamic summits , and international legitimacy , as an aggression against the Palestinian people , and as neglecting Palestinian rights and sacred things , especially Jerusalem and the independent Palestinian State on the borders of June 4 th , 1967 .” The Palestinian Liberation Organisation questioned the UAE and Bahrain : “ If you really wish to ‘ advance the cause of peace , dignity , & economic opportunity for the Palestinian people ’ how about ending Israel ’ s ruthless occupation and its theft of our land and resources ? Coercing and cajoling Arabs to normalize with Israel will not bring you peace and dignity .”
The Palestinian people ’ s struggle is long and tortuous . On one side , the Palestinian people are faced with an annexationist , ferocious and Zionist Israel . It is fully supported and armed by the US imperialists . The US imperialists provide the Israeli rulers protective shield to grab Palestinian territories at the end of each war or armed action . They used even the peace time and peace talks to gain respite , consolidate and legalise their control over the occupied territories and prepare for more ferocious armed actions against the Palestinian people . The Israeli rulers never respected and honoured the peace deals or international resolutions . When the Palestinian leadership was preparing to co-exist with Israel on the basis of the recognition of Palestinian people ’ s right to an independent Palestinian State with its own state capital in East Jerusalem and clearly defined ( 1967 ) borders and this solution was gaining wide international acceptance , the US imperialists were doing everything to frustrate it and arbitrarily dictate the so called solutions as wished by the Israeli rulers . On the other side , the rulers of most of the Arab countries went on succumbing one after the other to the pressures , threats and allurements of US imperialists and thus ending up in abandoning or betraying the Palestinian people .
