During the past week, the media began to speculate the
outcome of the meeting between President Trump and Mr. Netanyahu regarding the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The
discussion focused on the issue of one or two states solution.
In my opinion, the President provided some suggestions, but Netanyahu
smiled and will continue his aggressive annexations of Palestinian lands in the
occupied West Bank. Such policy has been
in violation of U.N. Resolutions and International Law. Prior to the creation of the Israeli State the
first Israeli prime minister, Mr. Ben Gorion in a public speech to the Jewish
Zionist Community stated that; they should accept whatever the U.N. will give
them, it will be the first stage of the implementation of “Eretz Israel” which
means greater Israel.
Since 1948, the Israeli government began to implement that
policy. Such aggression is reflected in
the following:
1. Israel, has demolished more than 600 Palestinian villages
2. Israel, demolished
thousands of homes in the occupied West Bank since the 1967 war, 3. Israeli government built more than 350
Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, where more than 450,000 Jewish
Settlers are living.
4. Hundreds of homes
were demolished in East Jerusalem which led to more than 222,000 Jewish
settlers living in East Jerusalem.
5. Israel annexed
more than half the Palestinians lands. Such aggressions are an act of violation
which the Israeli government committed since 1948, and is in total violation of
the U.N. Resolutions and International law.
This type of political conflict took place with the direct
and indirect support of the American Government. The U.S. used its veto power at the U.N.
security council more than 50 times to prevent the passages of any resolutions
against Israel. It is of interest to
notice that only in the last two weeks of his presidency, President Obama
allowed the passage of one resolution condemning Israel for its aggression in
the West bank.
He instructed the
U.S. representative not to veto a resolution that was supported by a majority
of the member in the U.N. security council condemning Israeli violation of
increasing settlements in the occupied lands.
