Arab nations are outraged after Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements that he feels connected to his vision ‘Great Israel’
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, the Arab League and the Palestinian Authority issued statements by condemning the comment of Israeli prime minister, criticizing “the mentality dipped in colonial illusions”
In an interview with the i24news aired on Tuesday night, Netanyahu was asked by the presenter of the Sharon Gal network if he “feels a connection” with a “vision” of the Great Israel, in which he replied: “Too”.
The term ‘Great Israel’ It refers to expanded borders with biblical or historical descriptions and has many versions, some of which include parts of today’s Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It spread after the June six days of June 1967 and was “updated” to also refer to the areas that had just conquered Israel – East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights.
It is still adopted by some far -right personalities in Israel, who express the desire to annex or ultimately control many of these territories.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and the Arab League have issued statements criticizing Netanyahu’s comments and warning that they are threatening regional and global stability.
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it was condemning Netanyahu’s comments, describing them as “dangerous and provocative escalation”.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry also condemned the comment, saying that Cairo has asked Israel to clarify data from “impacts of volatility and reflects the rejection of the pursuit of peace in the region, as well as perseverance in escalation”.
“This (the comment) contradicts the ambitions of the regional and international parts that love peace and seek to achieve security and stability for all peoples in the region,” he added.
In his own statement, the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the “condemnation and denial” of Netanyahu’s comments, “Considering them as an extension of the arrogance -based approach, fueling judgments and conflicts.”
Doha added that “false Israeli claims and irrational inflammatory statements would not undermine the legal rights of Arab nations and peoples” and reiterated “Qatar’s full support in all efforts aimed at achieving a fair, overall and viable area”.
The Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the comments, expressing “a complete rejection of the ideas and plans for settlements and expansion adopted by the Israeli occupation authorities”. He also issued a warning “to the international community against the ongoing blatant Israeli occupation violations, which … threaten security and peace both regional and globally.”
In his statement, the Arab League characterized Israeli Prime Minister’s comments as “A blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Arab states and an attempt to undermine security and stability in the region.”
The comments, he added, “reflect expansive and aggressive intentions that cannot be accepted or tolerated” and also “expose a mentality dipped to colonial illusions”.
The Palestinian Authority has participated in the conviction as “a challenge and dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the area, which derives from the expansive colonial policies of the state of occupation”.
He stressed that he is “committed to what has been approved by international legality and international law for the establishment of the Independent Palestinian state at the 1967 border, with Eastern Jerusalem as its capital”.
The idea of attaching parts of neighboring Arab countries from Israel as part of the vision of the “Great Israel” is not widely accepted by the Israelis, the Times of Israel highlights, but the inclusion of some extremist ministers, such as Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotry.
Jewish journalist Martin Guck, who lives in Germany, had stated that the ongoing chaos in the Middle East stemms from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to implement the plan of “Grand Israel” and convert the country in dominant regional power.
Speaking to Anadolu agency, Guck criticized Israel’s aggressive actions in the area as illegal and deeply destabilizing.
Surveying Plan that burns the idea of the Palestinian state
Bezalel Smotric, a far -right Minister of Finance of the Netanyahu government and colonization, approved plans for the erection of a settlement that would separate Israel -occupied Eastern Jerusalem from the western obsession with the western obsession.
This is the E1 planwhich has remained frozen since 2012 and is intended to divide the western bump. It has not been clarified whether it has been approved by Benjamin Netanyahu and is expected to cause international outcry.
In a statement entitled ‘Burning the idea of a Palestinian state’a spokesman for Smotric said the finance minister would give a press conference within the day on the plan to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlements between existing settlements in the West Ohthi and Jerusalem.
Israel has frozen the plans for erection due to the disagreements of the United States, European countries and other forces, which considered the plan threatened to any future agreement with the Palestinians.
