In a dangerous and unprecedented development, the Israeli Air Force launched raids on sites inside the Qatari territory, with weapons that the radar did not reveal, in a move that sparked a wave of regional and international anxiety. This sudden military escalation is a dangerous violation, raises questions about the future of stability in the region, respecting the sovereignty of states, and opens the door to more complex scenarios. Targeting the State of Qatar, which has always played a diplomatic role in the Palestinian file, may carry political messages that exceed the military dimension, and puts the region in front of new challenges in the absence of effective deterrent mechanisms for continuous, escalating and multi -shape aggression.
As usual, the Arab Gulf states turn around each other, all of which come to denounce in the strongest terms the brutal Israeli attack and the blatant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, stressing their full solidarity, standing and support in all its measures and warning of the dire consequences that Israel wages on its bases in its criminal transgressions and its exit on the principles of international law and all international norms.
And linked to this unprecedented escalation, the position of US President Donald Trump comes to reveal flagrant contradictions between diplomatic discourse and military behavior on the ground. Although the White House confirmed that Trump was previously informed of the Israeli raid on Hamas sites in Qatar, Qatar confirmed its communication with America 8 minutes after the start of the raid, and all this is followed by the expression of the American administration about “regret” towards targeting an ally country that plays a pivotal role in mediation, and this contradiction raises a fundamental question: What is peace that they seek, and can it be achieved in light of the negotiators of peace themselves?
The real peace in this context cannot be reduced to a ceasefire or the exchange of prisoners and detainees, but also must include respecting the sovereignty of states and ending the siege immediately on Gaza, as it is not possible to talk about peace while the people of Gaza are besieged and are deprived of their most basic rights to food, medicine and shelter, so what is required is to redefine the goal of peace amid all this chaos, and the description of the dimensions of security to include the security of Palestinian civilians The other, and re -consideration of the Palestinian issue as a human rights issue, not as a security or terrorist file as some want it, but as a issue of liberation and dignity, calls for fair and comprehensive solutions. Peace is based on justice, sovereignty, and human dignity.
Victims of genocide in the Gaza Strip have been more so far in any of the 35 military campaigns in the twentieth century! The Gaza war is the most deadly, at least 60% of the buildings and 90% of the houses in Gaza were exposed to total destruction and severe damage. The destruction machine affected all the universities of Gaza, and about 80% of the sector’s schools and mosques, and for the third year in a row, the children of Gaza without schools or education, while the hospitals, none of them work with its full card !! And the tears of doctors are the best witness to the horror of what is happening.
Gaza continues to pay the largest price, and is subject to continuous forced displacement consequences, as thousands of families are forced to leave their homes under the weight of the bombing, without a shelter or guarantees to return. Complete neighborhoods have turned into rubble, and schools and shelters are no longer safe, in a scene that embodies a comprehensive human collapse, global sympathy is not enough, but there is a need for an urgent political and diplomatic move, re -consideration of the Palestinian issue, and puts an end to the policy of collective punishment practiced against civilians, as the Palestinian file must be reopened at the table of the international community, not as a security crisis, but rather as a issue of freedom and rights A human being, a land that deserves justice and dignity, and with the horror of everything that happens comes the statement of the Israeli Chief of Staff, who said: “We will continue to carry out our tasks everywhere.” !!
