Does peace bring security and stability in the region?
Saudi Arabia today, as a leading country in the Arab and Islamic worlds, is perhaps more aware than others of the importance of taking the reins of the region towards “peace” and “development,” but not at the expense of the rights of the Palestinian people, which is what His Highness the Crown Prince confirmed in his recent interview with the American Fox News channel, saying, “ “There is no peace with the Israelis at the expense of the Palestinians.”
In continuation of last week’s article, “Efforts to Revitalize the Peace Process in the Middle East,” I find it important to review what was stated in the Saudi Council of Ministers (last Tuesday), which was chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which stated, “The Council looks forward to the contribution of efforts to revitalize the peace process.” The peace initiative launched by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the League of Arab States, and the European Union, in cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, to achieve security and stability in the Middle East region, through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the decisions of legitimacy. International and Arab Peace Initiative. The extremist right-wing Israeli government, led by its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, must say that one of the political rules regulating the world of politics today is based on the principle of “violence begets violence” and “peace begets security, stability, and prosperity.” According to this principle, I read much of what the Western and Israeli press wrote on the face of it. In particular, they see Israel today as a historic opportunity and an Arab political climate supportive of the just peace process. Provided that the bleeding of recent developments on the ground is stopped. Our need today to revitalize the peace process is based on a coordinated approach to encourage all parties to implement political and reform transformations, and to address the main factors that fuel the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. I will be more clear: resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict is a fundamental interest of the entire region, and this will only be achieved with a two-state solution and the existence of an independent, viable and contiguous Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbors. The meaning of the previous context is that a lasting solution must be achieved on the basis of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, the Madrid Principles including land for peace, the road map, the agreements previously reached by the two parties and the Arab Peace Initiative. If an agreement is reached to end the conflict once and for all, the door will open to deepen and strengthen cooperation between all countries in the region. Although the previous meeting held in New York, on the sidelines of the work of the United Nations General Assembly in its 78th session, headed by Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Saudi Foreign Minister, and in the presence of representatives of about 70 countries and international organizations, has nothing to do with the final status negotiations, it is considered a factor. Motivating the return of the parties to the conflict to the path of the peace process, giving a realistic vision of what the situation could be like in the Middle East region, and benefiting everyone - without exception - from the security, political, economic and social benefits that prevail on the map of the region. It is a goal that everyone desires, and it is an opportunity for makers. The Israelis' decision to accept the facts and not be stubborn towards the ideas of the extreme right, which is losing its legitimacy at the internal Israeli and international levels.
Saudi Arabia today, as a leading country in the Arab and Islamic worlds, is perhaps more aware than others of the importance of taking the reins of the region towards “peace” and “development,” but not at the expense of the rights of the Palestinian people, which is what His Highness the Crown Prince confirmed in his recent interview with the American Fox News channel, saying, “ "There is no peace with the Israelis at the expense of the Palestinians."
I conclude with a very important article written by Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Vice-President of the European Commission for a stronger Europe in the world, and published in the first quarter of this year, in which he mentioned some main points, in which he stated: “Many will fall.” of victims every week in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, and millions live in fear and despair, while the world's response is limited to many statements and few measures. In order to succeed, we must first be honest with each other and with ourselves... When the Israelis depend on their state and their army, The Palestinians have no such recourse. This huge disparity in the ability to control one’s destiny is evident at every checkpoint, and these facts constitute obstacles to peace. May you be well.
