48 Palestinians demonstrate against the annexation and the American peace plan

Muhammad Mohsin Wedd - Western Baqa

Thousands of Palestinians 48 today participated in a march in the western city of Baqa, on the borders of June 4, in rejection of the American peace plan aimed at liquidating the Palestinian issue, and its provisions stipulating the separation of the Triangle area from the Israeli interior and its transfer to the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority.

The Triangle region nominated for annexation includes Umm al-Fahm and its environs, Arara, Ara, Kafr Qara, Baqa al-Gharbiya, Qalansawa, Taybeh, Al-Tira, Kafr Bara, Jaljiliya, and Kafr Qasim, while the plan excluded the villages of Jit and Zimer for their high strategic and geographical location overlooking the coast from the side The West and on the West Bank.

The Triangle region was annexed to Israel in 1949 under the Rhodes Agreement, as the terms of the American plan suggest annexing the villages and cities of the Triangle region, which are inhabited by approximately 350,000 Palestinians, who live on about 170,000 dunams (17,000 square kilometers), after the area of ​​land they owned was about a million acres before The Nakba, as the occupation confiscated it over the decades.

The march presented by the leaders of the Arab masses came as part of the protest steps launched by the Higher Follow-up Committee for the Arab masses, under the title "The Arab masses return the deal with a slap", and was held in partnership and cooperation with various party and political actors and the national and Islamic forces.

Step up the struggle
The activities launched on Friday and Saturday and continuing in the next week included demonstrations and protests at the entrances of the Arab towns in the Triangle, the Negev, the Galilee and the Coast, in a message to America and Israel that the so-called "deal of the century" will not pass, as Friday sermons were dedicated in mosques The repercussions of US President Donald Trump's plan on the Palestinian issue.

These moves confirm the unanimity of the Palestinian people, everywhere, to reject the US peace plan aimed at liquidating the Palestinian issue, and to reject the proposal to annex the Triangle region to the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority.

The Arab student movements continue to organize activities and protest stops in Israeli universities, in refusal to liquidate the Palestinian cause, and to confront the annexation plans launched by the Israeli government.

In addition, the campaign called "the one democratic state in historic Palestine" called for addressing "the colonial and brutal reality in Palestine."

The joint Arab List, represented by 13 deputies in the Israeli Knesset (Parliament), organized a political festival today in Sakhnin, in the Upper Galilee, in northern Palestine, under the title "Unity: We Resist the Deal and Refuse to Delete".

The representatives of the joint list agreed that the so-called "deal of the century" is not a peace plan, not even a basis for the possibility of negotiation, but rather a plan to liquidate the rights of the Palestinian people, prevent fair peace and exercise the right to self-determination, and block the road to applying international law and implementing international decisions on the issue Palestinian.

Danger of deportation
"We continue the protest steps here steadfastly in the Western Baqa, and with us about two million Palestinians in Israel who are at risk of deportation, as we reject the American plan, and we say: No to the century deal with all its provisions and dimensions ... not to the plans of apartheid" (Racial discrimination) and transfer (deportation). "

Jabareen explained in his interview with Al-Jazeera Net that the proposal to annex the Triangle area - if it appears unrealistic and impossible to implement on the ground - "paves the way to initiate the plan of displacement of a part of the people of the Palestinian interior within the American-Israeli plots that are being hatched against the Palestinian people, and to purge historic Palestine from the Arabs, And the establishment of a Jewish state without the Arabs. "

He stressed the necessity to unify the Palestinian struggle in all its places of life against the American plan, which constitutes a new aggression against the Palestinian people, which paves the way for liquidating its cause, stressing that Palestinian reconciliation, national unity of the various factions and parties, and the joint struggle and protest all of its position is the way to thwart the "Deal of the Century".

Partition resolution
The head of the People's Committee in the western city of Baqa al-Sheikh Sheikh Khairi Iskandar warned that the US peace plan "restores the Arab-Israeli conflict, not just the Palestinians, to the first square before the Nakba."

Alexander added in his talk to Al-Jazeera Net that if there is a need for annexation and population exchange, the first is to return to the partition resolution issued by the United Nations and annex the Galilee, the Coast and the Negev to the Palestinian state and not only annex the triangle, stressing that the Palestinian interior refuses to be a hostage to the American and Israeli plans, And to be driven like a flock.

He believed that the so-called "deal of the century" was put forward for electoral purposes and goals in Israel and America, and "it will have its place in the dustbin of history," stressing that dropping the deal requires a joint struggle room for the Palestinians in all its places, including 48 Palestinians.

Mono steps
On the other hand, the Secretary of the National Assembly in the Triangle Region Jamal Daqqa believes that the American peace plan is unrealistic, and carries with it many dangers, as Israel got - for the first time - a green light from America to take unilateral steps, with everything related to annexing parts of West Bank, and the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over settlements and valleys.

Regarding the annexation of the Triangle area and population exchange, Daqqa told Al-Jazeera Net that "Israel wants to establish a Jewish state free of Arabs after the legislation of nationalism, as it will not relinquish the lands in historical Palestine, and everything related to annexation is another aspect of transfer and displacement, so the conversation is taking place On aspirations to displace 48 Palestinians first, as a prelude to the displacement of all the remaining Palestinian people in historic Palestine.
