Palestine-Israel
Deadlock
The current strategy of Netanyahu on the
Palestine-Israel conflict is an attempt to divert the subject live-issue toward
the so-called Iran threat. Had he been
able to get a green signal from the United States he would have
missile-attacked to destroy the nuclear installations of Iran, diverting the
Israel-Palestine chronic issue to Iran issue.
The
current administration of Israel is playing a game which is neither helpful to
the security and safety of Israel nor helpful to its faithful ally, the United
States. Israel is beset by its deadly
enemies all around. The current Middle East scenario of the surge of people’s
awakening is by all means going to be all explosive for Israel, no doubt, in
the present state of geo-politics. Egypt
is already in the hands of Brotherhood, an arch-enemy of Israel. Syrians are
fighting for self-determination. Jordan is fighting against the autocratic rule
of Hashemite dynasty. Unrest and
opposition are emerging in the West Bank and Jordan. Lebanon has not forgotten
the scars of Israel’s aggression in the past. How far the policy of
confrontation will help Israel in getting safety, security, peace and progress
is a matter to think.
United States has pledged for Israel’s security
and safety from all kinds of external and internal threats. The US administration, current or the forthcoming
has a paramount responsibility to honor its pledge. Israel has, after all, the right to have a piece
of land to live in as much as the Palestinians.
Israel had been in Diaspora since destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem
in 70 CE, when the Jews lost their land and were forced into exile. Currently,
there is no power in the world other than the United States, especially after
the fall of the Soviet Union, who has the confidence and reliance to unlock
this century-old deadlock subsequent to creation of Israel at the end of World War-I. What
is needed is the exclusive seriousness and wish, from both Palestinians and
Israelis as well as from the United
States without binding this problem with other geo-politics of the area. In the past geo-politics of the Middle East and
other great powers have been the consideration for solving the knotty issue.
It is utmost necessary to maintain
impartiality of the mediator in this conflict resolution. The United States cannot win the confidence
of the Palestinians by being an unconditional friend and partner with
Israel. The United States impartiality
can only be achieved if its friendship and cooperation are guaranteed equally
to both the parties. The problem will
remain unsolved so long the mediator does not see it equally in the broader
benefits of both Israelis and Palestinians.
