After Jenin .. Palestine to where?!
The strategy of the Ben Gvir-Smotrich government led by Netanyahu and its top priority is the annexation of most of the West Bank, isolating the main cities in disjointed cantons in the north, middle and south of the West Bank, in addition to the Gaza Strip canton, which is becoming more entrenched day after day. In order to achieve this strategy, it continues its bloody aggression against our people, their land, and their sources of life and livelihood. This government, which seeks to implement the so-called biblical law, which considers historical Palestine to be the Promised Land and the base for "Greater Israel" capable of imposing its full hegemony over the region, is trying to contain the internal objections that erupted in the face of the so-called judicial amendments, which resolve Israel's identity and reduce it to a state. theocracy. It realizes that to the extent that these amendments spark fundamental contradictions within that society about the nature of governance and the identity of the state, the permissibility of the blood of Palestinian citizens, the destruction of their homes and ways of life, the annexation of their lands and the expansion of settlements narrows the division gap within it, and it also prolongs the survival of this government and its ability to The continuation of the misinformation that the successive governments of Israel, since the Nakba, have been claiming about the so-called "democracy of the state" at a time when it arose on the usurpation of Palestine, and racial discrimination against the Palestinian minority that remained steadfast on its land.
Annexation: the title of the war against our people
From this angle, we must look at what happened in the Jenin camp, and what is happening in the old town of Nablus, and in other Palestinian cities, towns, and villages, in terms of daily killing operations carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, which aim primarily to terrorize the Palestinian people, and in a desperate attempt to subdue the ember of their stubborn resistance , and his determination to reject the occupation, and to resist his plans for annexation and liquidation in which the occupation government is racing against time to dictate it on the ground, and in fact it reminds us of the terrorist crimes carried out by the Zionist gangs to displace and expel the Palestinian people from their land on the eve of the Nakba in 1948.
It is noteworthy that, in a manner similar to black comedy, the government of the trio "Netanyahu - Smotrich - Ben Gvir" is carrying out these murders with the support of the American administration under the pretext of what is called "strengthening and empowering the Palestinian Authority" and mowing what some call "poisonous weeds" under the cover of what is known With the understandings of Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh, that is, the liquidation of the rebels against those plans, which it cannot do. All of this is done under the cloak of security coordination, which no longer has any function other than protecting the security of the occupation and settlement, and not affecting its ability to implement its plans, which no longer accept interpretation, to uproot the mere thought of ending the occupation and extracting an independent Palestinian state. Once again, this is being done in coordination with the American intelligence services, whose administration has been talking about the two-state solution as an empty slogan without practical or political content, and its sole concern is to expand the state of normalization with the Arab countries without any price, especially with regard to the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The question in people's hearts is: How can the Palestinian Authority and the dominant trend of its ruling party take a gray and ambiguous position, and even put itself in the face of the will of national steadfastness expressed by the Jenin camp, the old town of Nablus, and many other camps and sites? without realizing this dominant leadership of power; The Palestinian people, who have provided it with one opportunity after another since its inception, in order to, firstly, avoid internal conflict, and secondly, may these forces that dominate the divisive scene reverse their course and submit to the will of their people for unity and resistance. However, it has become clear that the people's patience has run out and they are convinced that the danger is clearly affecting not only the future of their ability to extract their rights, but also threatens their existence and their ability to remain in this country.
Rising up in the face of aggression
In the face of the defeat of June and the completion of the occupation of Palestine, the battle of dignity constituted a strategic turning point that enabled the Fatah movement and the Palestinian resistance factions to take the initiative to lead the march of the revolution. Also, in the face of the results of the war on Lebanon and the forces of the Liberation Organization and their evacuation from the northern front lines, the major uprising exploded. It is obvious today, and in light of this fascist aggression, that the centers of resistance in its various forms will explode, especially in the absence of a national strategy that unites the resistance in the service of national goals. What is new this time is that these centers of resistance are emerging from the rubble of division and the state of collapse or near collapse that characterizes the national movement, and in light of the authority’s adherence to its security commitments that put it or almost in confrontation with its people, and at the expense of the popular incubator that was launched since the Battle of Dignity and the steadfastness of Beirut. And the great uprising. Also, in light of the Hamas movement's efforts to conclude the so-called long-term truce that perpetuates the separation and isolates Gaza from its historical role as a lever for the national movement and the preservation of the unified identity of our people.
Tragedy Repeated: A Black Comedy
Is history preparing itself for this black comedy that the Palestinian people paid for with their blood, sacrifices and land? Will the national movement led by "Fatah al-Karama" remain locked in its crisis to mourn its march, sacrificing the march and sacrifices of tens of thousands of martyrs, on the altar of the illusion of peace and the mirage of the divisive conflict over "alleged legitimacy" with the Hamas movement, which constitutes the other tragic aspect of the concept of governance and power under the spears of occupation and the armistice? Long-term the other side of security coordination and both are free.
People's impatience
The popular reactions that followed the battle of Jenin camp are like the last bell and the red light that should ignite the senses and responsibility of everyone, regardless of their circumstances, and perhaps their departure from the traditions of our people, especially during the funerals of the martyrs, but it reflects the impatience of the people, and the extent of their need to review the process of erosion. And the reasons for the isolation experienced by the national movement and its main forces, and the entire dilapidated political system.
The final test: the government of unity and steadfastness
The last test is what will result from the possible meeting of the secretaries-general, which Egypt announced its hosting at the end of this month, especially in terms of the extent of the ability to come out of such a meeting with a unified national position that cuts with the causes of collapse and disintegration, and leads to a national road map that embodies the need of the Palestinian people And the status of his national cause to end the division immediately, and to announce the formation of the transitional government of "unity, steadfastness and national salvation", which must include everyone and put them before their responsibilities, which means stopping separatist loose ends in Gaza, and the threats of the stick and security solutions in the West Bank, and the dangers they warn of. An almost existential strategy, restoring the position of the inclusive national institutions at the level of the organization and authority as a prelude to restoring the trust and constitutional rights of the people, enabling them without equivocation or manipulation to elect their national leadership within the framework of the Unified Liberation Organization and restore its frontal character as the only legitimate representative of our people and the leader of its liberation struggle, and rebuilding a function And the role of the National Authority according to the priority of steadfastness and the ability to survive and face the imminent dangers. This is the practical test away from the media consumption and waste of time. As for continuing to prevaricate and failed bets, abandoning the requirements of national responsibility, and the struggle over the legitimacy of representation under the wreckage of what was left behind by the devastating division, it no longer deceives anyone and is gradually being uttered by the people. This time has passed, the overwhelming majority have realized their way to freedom.
