3 Mar 2023 – <\/em>The leaders of the world as of now have shown little interest\u00a0in resolving conflict between\u00a0Jews of Israel and Palestinians since the Second World War when the United Kingdom and France\u00a0won the war. It appears\u00a0that conflict\u00a0between\u00a0Israel and Palestinian seems to be the longest and largest conflict in the world today. We recalled that the establishment of the United Nations\u00a0 is to establish\u00a0peaceful resolution\u00a0of the conflict in the world. As of now the United Nations did not succeed\u00a0to resolve conflict\u00a0between Israel and Palestinian. The Resolution 181 passed by the United Nations general assembly in 1947 which has called for the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states with\u00a0the city of Jerusalem as a corpus separatum<\/em> (separate entity) to be governed\u00a0by a special international agent.<\/p>\n

Since 1947 the UN has not succeeded\u00a0to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine. It is suggested that the security council of the United Nations should be abolished which in fact has not resolved the problem\u00a0but rather continues the problem in the world as of now. Decision of any conflict in the world should be taken by the majority leaders of the world\u00a0not by the only Security council. Since the security council could not succeed\u00a0to resolve any problem of the world.<\/p>\n

It is equally surprising\u00a0what International law acts in case of violation of religious\u00a0and cultural sites as of now no national\u00a0 sovereign government has ever been held to account since Israel has violated religious\u00a0sites of\u00a0 the Muslims in Al-Aqsa\u00a0mosque in Jerusalem. The Rome statute adopted by the United Nations at diplomatic conference of plenipotentiary\u00a0the establishment of an international criminal court on 17 July in1998 and enforced on 1st July of 2002. The International Criminal Court (ICC) at Hague declared that anyone intentionally attacking\u00a0buildings dedicated to religious, educational,\u00a0 art, science or charity will be declared as war while\u00a0both Israel and Palestinian signed the statue but Israel backed out the treaty to follow the footprint of the United States of America headed\u00a0by former President\u00a0George Bush.<\/p>\n

The situation in Israel is back to square one since the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now back to rule the country. This is the sixth term Prime Minister of Israel. It seems that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be the cautious leader on diplomatic and security matters. It is hardly possible to make significant concessions to Palestine to advance the peace process although he is facing a case in connection with corruption. It is hardly possible to advance progress in the case of Palestinian.<\/p>\n

It seems that Netanyahu is planning\u00a0to expand its territory to the West Bank, apart from he plans to organize\u00a0to settle settlers\u00a0in the West Bank while\u00a0 US foreign secretary Anthony J. Blinken\u00a0 is reported\u00a0to have said that America would oppose the settlement but\u00a0 stopped\u00a0short of commenting on Netanyahu\u2019s\u00a0far-right cabinet. It seems the\u00a0US\u00a0is reluctant\u00a0to take a hard line against\u00a0Israel.US foreign secretary himself\u00a0is Jewish.\u00a0 Jordan by now hosted urgent meeting with top Israel security officials and\u00a0Palestine security officials, apart from political\u00a0officers of Israel and USA on 25 February this year since Israeli security forces carried\u00a0out raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus\u00a0that killed as many as eleven\u00a0Palestinian\u00a0which has become the highest since second intifada.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by chief\u00a0of security representatives\u00a0of Israel and Palestinian\u00a0and agreed” to work toward a just and lasting peace and affirmed the need to commit to de-escalation\u00a0on the ground”. Israeli Prime Minister’s national security adviser as well as chief of the Shinbet domestic security agency attended the talks apart from advisors to President Mahmoud Abbas, while delegations from\u00a0Jordan and Egypt and the United States participated. Meanwhile, King Abdullah of Jordan had a meeting with the President of US Joseph Biden in the US capital and had talks with the Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu\u00a0in Amman in January 2023.<\/p>\n

It is ironic to note that the Prime Minister of Israel is surrounded by hardliners like Finance Minister Bezleel Smotrich who reportedly said there will not be a freeze on the construction in the West Bank for settlers which means the situation becomes harsh for Palestinian in the West Bank in particular. It is ironic to note that President Joseph Biden has given deaf ears in spite of an appeal by more than 500 former staffers of the President, apart from seventy members of the House of Representatives belonging to the Democratic Party on 24 July in 2021 to reverse the policy of former President Trump era with regard to Israel. The situation in Israel is probably by design to destroy the aspirations of Palestinians now.<\/p>\n
