| Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
A video showing Israeli police shooting a Palestinian man, Karam al-Qawasmi, in the back while he walked away with his hands raised at Al-Zaeim checkpoint outside Jerusalem sparked outrage. The May 2018 incident was filmed by an officer and later leaked, leading to the Israeli justice ministry considering charges against the female officer who shot al-Qawasmi. The victim recounted his ordeal, describing cruel treatment and fearing for his life. The PLO and Palestinian Journalists Syndicate have called for UN action and investigations, respectively. Israeli human rights group B’Tselem cited a culture of impunity among Israeli security forces.

South Africa to bring landmark case against Israel at International Court of Justice

English
| Israel-Palestine Conflict
South Africa is set to bring a landmark case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. The case is driven by South Africa's apartheid history and long-standing support for Palestinian liberation. President Cyril Ramaphosa and other South African leaders have strongly condemned Israel's actions, describing them as war crimes and genocide. The case could lead to an interim measure for a cease-fire, though enforcement challenges remain due to potential Security Council vetoes. The move underscores South Africa's influence on the global stage.

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, during his presidency, has consistently supported the Palestinian cause, dating back to his time as a union leader. Lula's administration recognized the Palestinian State in 2010 and sought to strengthen Brazil's role in international diplomacy, particularly in the Middle East. Despite a shift towards Israel under Jair Bolsonaro's government, Lula, upon his return to office in 2023, has faced domestic and international challenges but continues to advocate for Palestine, including condemning Israeli actions in Gaza and receiving Palestinian refugees in Brazil.

After Arafat I : In the Mideast, France stands and waits

English
| International Relations
France, under President Jacques Chirac, has shown renewed interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighted by the respectful treatment of Yasser Arafat during his final days. Chirac's actions, including sending a jet to transport Arafat to a French hospital and ensuring he received state honors in death, have been well-received by the French public and the Arab world. This aligns with France's longstanding Middle East policy of supporting Palestinian statehood while recognizing Israel. Despite being sidelined in recent years, France's gestures have reaffirmed its historical ties and influence in the region.

Abbas open to a trilateral confederation with Jordan and Israel
05 Sept 2018
|
Arab News
|
English
| Jordan-Palestine Relations
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas expressed openness to a trilateral confederation with Jordan and Israel when approached by US President Donald Trump's negotiating team. This idea, however, faced opposition from Jordanians and Palestinians who demand an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital before any confederation talks. The article traces the historical context of the confederation concept, noting the 1950 unity decision between the two banks of Jordan and the establishment of the PLO in 1964. It covers the aftermath of the Six-Day War in 1967, King Hussein's 1972 proposal for a United Arab Kingdom, and the eventual disengagement of Jordan from the West Bank in 1988. The article also touches on the peace process, including the Madrid Conference in 1991 and the subsequent peace treaty between Jordan and Israel in 1994. Jordan's current stance rejects any confederation talks until an independent Palestinian state is established, with King Abdullah emphasizing that peace cannot be achieved as long as Israel occupies Palestinian territories.

A Biden presidency could present both challenges and opportunities for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While Biden's approach to Iran and the Palestinians may create tensions reminiscent of the Obama era, it could also allow Netanyahu to rally domestic support by positioning himself as a defender of Israeli interests. Biden's administration is expected to reengage with Iran on nuclear issues and restore ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organization, contrasting with Trump's policies that heavily favored Netanyahu. The article highlights the potential for diplomatic shifts and the need for Netanyahu to adapt to a new U.S. administration.

| Israel-Palestine Conflict
As the deadline for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority passes without progress, attention shifts to the recent reconciliation deal between Fatah and Hamas. The Palestinian Liberation Organization has initiated a five-week strategy to unify the two parties, split since 2007. In Gaza, the closure of smuggling tunnels with Egypt has strained Hamas financially, leading to concerns among government workers about job security. In Ramallah, the mood is more cautious, with less visible celebration and a focus on potential changes under President Mahmoud Abbas's leadership. Despite previous failed reconciliation attempts, there is cautious optimism about the current deal's potential to ease life in Gaza.
