TEHRAN - The first regional trip of Secretary of State Marco Rubio recommends that the United States has actually left the Palestinian Authority (PA) high and dry.Top American diplomats have actually routinely convened with leaders of the Palestinian Authority during their sees to the Middle East (West Asia) after meeting with Israeli officials.But Rubio broke this tradition.
He held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem (al-Quds) on Sunday and after that took a trip to Saudi Arabia.Rubios move methods that he is looking down on the Palestinian Authority, regardless of the numerous advantages and the substantial cooperation it has actually used to Israel.The PA serves as a governing entity that has actually administered specific regions of the occupied West Bank given that the mid-1990s.
It was established as a result of the Oslo Accords, which were signed by Palestinian and Israeli leaders in 1993.
The PA was required to recognize Israel and eliminate Palestinian armed groups in exchange for a Palestinian state.However, Israel has actually just used the deal as a smokescreen to broaden its unlawful settlements in the West Bank.
The routine still stays opposed to the facility of a Palestinian state.The Palestinian Authority is still digging its heels in, demanding compliance with the Oslo Accords.Many Palestinians think the Palestinian Authoritys stance amounts to complicity with Israel to keep its occupation.The Palestinian Authority has actually played a significant function in assisting Israel in keeping strict oversight of the Palestinian people.
The PA is regarded as an Israeli pawn.
Its US-trained forces have been blamed for managing attacks on the Palestinians who target Israeli soldiers.
These PA elements have actually likewise apprehended union leaders, journalists, and social networks critics.The PAs complicity in Israels actions further came under the spotlight after Hamas performed a surprise military attack in southern Israel in October 2023.
The Israeli army introduced a genocidal war on Gaza after Hamas carried out the operation dubbed the Aqsa Storm.PA forces have punished protesters who have taken to the streets in the West Bank to condemn Israels genocidal war on Gaza which has actually claimed the lives of almost 62,000 Palestinians.
Israel signed a peace deal with Hamas in January after stopping working to attain its goals in the war on Gaza.President Mahmoud Abbas, likewise understood asAbu Mazen, has been under mounting pressure over his position towards the Al-Aqsa Storm.Hamass policies and actions do not represent the Palestinian people, and the policies, programs, and choices of the (Palestine Liberation Organization) represent the Palestinian individuals as their sole legitimate agent, Abbas said in mid-October 2023.
Given that late in 2015, the PA has also been assisting Israel to secure down on Jeninwhich remains ahotbedof Palestinianresistance.Palestinians consider the Western-backed Ramallah organization as irredeemably corrupt and a toothless body in the face of its inaction towards Israels criminal offenses in Gaza and the West Bank.Rubios rejection to consult with PA officials plainly shows that the organization is deadwood.The United States and Israel have actually utilized the Palestinian Authority as their stooges to fulfill their objectives.Rubios move has thrown a spotlight on the fact that just resistance, national unity and strength will add to bringing an end to Israels decades-long profession and godawful criminal offenses.
