The battle of Bass Jenin uprooted Netanyahu's idea of ​​reproducing a submissive, submissive Fatah

Yes, the battle of Bass Jenin (the name that is not devoid of significance) has uprooted the people, and they are Netanyahu, the head of the fascist government that now rules Israel, calling for the creation of a submissive Fatah movement that has surrendered to the fait accompli imposed by Israel. As a result of the destruction of the homes, facilities, and infrastructure of the camp, the option of committing a new catastrophe crime against the Palestinians is a serious, existing, and perhaps imminent option.


These are, in my opinion, the most important conclusions of the battle, and the observer, especially if he is a Palestinian observer, can reach these conclusions by reading and linking the following facts to each other, first: Israel's goals related to the fate of the West Bank and Jerusalem and the future of the Palestinians, especially the Palestinians in the West Bank and the areas of 1948 According to the announced Smotrich plan, and secondly: the statements of Prime Minister Netanyahu that he made during a session of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee of the Knesset, which were reported by the official broadcaster (Kan) a few days before the start of the aggression against the Jenin camp, and thirdly: the escalation of the possibility of Israel initiating a major regional war.


In terms of the declared goals of the current Israeli government, it should be emphasized that this government came to power at the end of last year and its stated goal is to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians, i.e. to resolve the project of Israel’s industry in the region, according to the plan of the religious Zionist party led by Smotrich (Minister of Finance and second minister in The Ministry of Security), which indications are increasing daily since the formation of the government that it has adopted it and has actually begun to implement it.


These indications can be seen in the following: the rapid pace of settlement since the rise of the current government to rule in the areas designated for the promised Palestinian state, and in the repeated execution of crimes of burning Palestinian villages and towns by large groups of settlers under the protection of the Israeli army, as happened in Hawara, Turmusaya, Urif and Kafr Qaddum, last but not least. And in bringing about fundamental structural, administrative and legal changes in the structure of the Ministry of Security, through which Smotrich, the godfather of the decisiveness plan, became directly responsible for the settlement file and settlers in the West Bank, in addition to his direct responsibility for the file of the civil administration in the West Bank, and his ally Ben Gvir became the leader of the party Jewish Power direct commander of the Border Police force operating in the West Bank, in the repeal of the 2005 Disengagement Law at the end of last March, by which Israel unilaterally withdrew from all the settlements of the Gaza Strip, and four from the northern West Bank, and in the daily executions of Palestinians In all the governorates of the West Bank, as the number of martyrs who have risen since the beginning of this year reaches 300, and in the increase in the rate of house demolitions, especially in East Jerusalem, and in the government, immediately after its formation, began tightening its control over all state institutions, especially the judiciary, due to the conviction of the components of the government that the authority The judiciary and its rulings constituted an obstacle to resolving the building of the state, and finally the large-scale military operation unprecedented since 2002 against the Jenin camp, which the army called “the house and the garden.”


The plan, marked by the "Decision Plan", prepared by Smotrich in 2017 and published at the time in the Hebrew magazine "Hashiloh", which was approved by the party after the 2022 elections, when the party was able to occupy important joints in decision-making in the ruling coalition, aims to end the conflict with the Palestinians. Not to his administration, for managing the conflict according to the plan is nothing more than a waste of time and encouragement of terrorism.


The plan believes that addressing the conflict requires ending the Palestinians' hope for the establishment of a national homeland, and its most prominent axes are: settlement, denial of the existence of a Palestinian people, rejection of the establishment of any Palestinian national entity, the use of force and violence against them, and displacement. The plan identifies two scenarios for dealing with the Palestinians, the first talks about Keeping the Palestinian population as individuals residing in the Jewish state, and the second is related to the Palestinians who do not want to give up their national ambitions and aspirations, and it is divided into two parts, either voluntary displacement, or the use of asymmetric force and military decisiveness.


In terms of Netanyahu's statements, he had said in the aforementioned meeting that "work must be done to uproot the idea of ​​establishing a Palestinian state, and block the way for the Palestinians' aspirations to establish an independent state for them."


He added, according to what was reported by the radio, "Israel is preparing for the post-President Abbas period, explaining that the survival of the Palestinian Authority is an Israeli interest, and that Israel is not concerned with its collapse, but is ready to support it financially."


While Netanyahu's statements are consistent with Smotrich's plan, they clarify very clearly that the basic criterion for the authority that Netanyahu wants in the day after President Abbas, and which he does not seek to collapse but is ready to support financially, is that this authority, in the sense of its leadership, government, apparatus, and institutions, does not seek to remain an authority for transformation. Absolutely to an independent state, and that its survival depends on the extent of its service to the interest of Israel.


It is true that Netanyahu and Smotrich before him did not refer directly to Fatah in their statements and plan, but since the Palestinian Authority and an independent state are the goals of the national project led by Fatah in its capacity as the largest Palestinian faction, owner of Palestinian patriotism, and leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Fatah is the first target of Netanyahu and Smotrich’s statements. Which makes reading the aggression against a fetus far from that, at best, involves clear naivety.


In fact, the statements of Netanyahu and those before him reflect the ideas of Smotrich and Ben Gvir only their delusions and blindness that prevent them from seeing the reality as it is, and this is what their experts in national security inside and outside Israel say, because instead of acknowledging the fact that the Zionist colonial project has failed in Palestine as a whole, they continue to deceive themselves and their people Among the Jews in Israel and abroad, by preparing the Jewish public opinion (rejection of their policies, even if their rejection appears for other reasons), is that they can succeed in what the early founders of the Israeli industry project failed in more than a century ago by adopting a conflict management strategy rather than addressing and resolving it.


The most important thing is that they continue to deceive themselves based on the assessments they have and perhaps some of their regional allies, that the state of weakness, fragmentation and division in which the Palestinian people and their movement Fatah appear allows taming the latter and forcing its surrender, which was uprooted by the Battle of Jenin and the Fatah speech that accompanied it, whether it was Official or unofficial during the hours of the battle and in its aftermath, the speeches that asserted that Fatah does not belong to anyone, even if it is from its leadership, who can direct it in the direction he wants, as it is the property of its people who resemble it and who are still connected to Palestine.


In this regard, Fatah said in a statement issued by the Commission for Information, Culture and Intellectual Mobilization on Wednesday, 5/7/2023, "The battle that our people fought in the Jenin camp against the aggression of the Israeli occupation army is a qualitative shift in the course of the conflict with the occupation and a qualitative message that our people wrote down with their sacrifices and steadfastness." and join forces.”


Yes, it is a qualitative shift in the course of the conflict, especially since its coordinates and developments showed that the scenario of forced displacement is present and effective, and here I argue that Israel may embark under the current (decisive) government to implement it, especially if a major regional war breaks out, and I am certain that we are closer to its outbreak This war, especially since the initiation of the war (and victory in it), and there is great doubt about this, as many security experts in Israel say, and the recent battle of Jenin evidenced, is an integral part of the Israeli security doctrine through which it seeks to maintain deterrence and the imbalance in Force, as any change specifically in the balance of deterrence, which has become an irrefutable reality today, is read as a security threat of the type that affects the permanence of existence, which necessitates going to war.
Accordingly, Fatah's leadership and bases must make rapid qualitative transformations in its structure, discourse, behavior, and options in preparation for this scenario, and any preoccupation with other than that is a waste of time and a misplaced effort.
