Continue, despite everything, to believe it – Liberation

Everything, today, pushes us to no longer believe in the possibility of one day seeing two states, Israeli and Palestinian, coexist in peace. On the ground, Gaza is a field of ruins under the almost total control of Israeli leaders who dream of chasing all the Palestinians, and The West Bank has become a West West West Dominated by all-powerful settlers whose aim is to recover the entire territory. The Israeli Prime Minister has only one objective, to remain in power, which supposes to continue the war, and the extremists of Hamas know in the same way that peace would sign the end of their existence. To top it off, Benyamin Netanyahu thinks he can count On the total support of the United States which regularly use their veto to block any binding resolution towards Israel. The situation seems inextricable. And yet, everything pushes us to continue to believe in the imperative need to recognize a Palestinian state. Because there is no alternative.

Emmanuel Macron made a lot of errors at the diplomatic level but that he understood this. He saw the ravages of Israeli strikes on the population of Gaza and he feels anger of opinion before the helplessness of world leaders to put this blood bath to stop. He set up a plan in coordination with « MBS ”, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, who has a tiny chance of succeeding. He supposes a ceasefire, the release of hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, the recognition of Israel by the Arab States, the revitalization of the Palestinian authority with elections by one year under international control (Mahmoud Abbas said it was ready in a letter sent this week to the Elysée), and the financial aid of Riyadh to rebuild Gaza. The idea is to make Donald Trump understand that the midterms approach and he needs a diplomatic victory. MBS (which has just taken a contract for the sale of weapons over $ 100 billion) and Macron bring it to him on a set if he forces Netanyahu to accept a cease-fire. On paper, it’s nickel. But Trump has to accept it. And that the Israeli and Palestinian extremists do not make the plan to the last moment. It is far from being won. But this tiny chance exists. You have to try it. And it will be necessary to start again if it fails. Tirelessly.
