British Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not hesitate to put a touch of tragedy on the political scene of his country - he is the lover of writer William Shakespeare - by making heavy accusations of the European Union about trying to impose a food blockade on the United Kingdom and its division and dismemberment.
The accusations that Johnson justified the controversial "internal market" law, which gives ministers the right to veto some provisions of the Brexit agreement without returning to parliament, which means that the United Kingdom retreats from an international agreement that was approved and voted on by Parliament.
Johnson acknowledges that he is in violation of international law by adopting this law, which was passed by the British Parliament on the first reading by voting in favor of 340 votes against, against 263 parliamentarians.
Despite the opposition of scores of conservative parliamentarians to this law, the prime minister rests on a comfortable majority that makes it easier for him to pass laws in Parliament.
Parliament did not grant a blank check to the British government, as British lawmakers will discuss restricting the "home market" law by requiring the government to return to parliament before this law is enforced.
The status of Northern Ireland
In all stages of the Brexit negotiations, Northern Ireland was the stumbling block given its special status.
As many expected, it was the main reason for the explosions of disputes between the United Kingdom and Britain, which curbed the latter's resort to breaking the law and violating an international treaty in a precedent of its kind in the country's history.
According to the Brexit agreement, Northern Ireland will remain in the European Common Market, in order to prevent the application of customs borders on the island of Ireland, between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which means that goods and goods coming from the Kingdom towards Northern Ireland will be subject to the customs law of the European Union.
This complex situation is what the former Prime Minister Theresa May rejected, and said that he is dividing the country and making part of it under the authority of the European Union despite Britain's exit from it, but Johnson - who is obsessed with the idea of exit at any price - agreed to this clause, before he returned this Al-Ayyam, and justifies his approval of it by not expecting "to be interpreted in bad faith by the European Union."
In the event that Britain and the European Union do not reach a trade agreement by mid-October, this means the application of customs tariffs on goods imported into Northern Ireland from Britain, if they are placed under a clause called "at risk", meaning that they may reach The Republic of Ireland at a later stage, and if it is proved that these goods have not crossed into the Republic, customs duties will be refunded to importers.
A situation like this means that the Kingdom will not possess its sovereignty over a part of its lands, and will be forced to pay customs to bring goods into its subordinate region, which could impede trade between Northern Ireland and Britain, which Johnson described as imposing a "food blockade."
But Europeans have always responded to Johnson's accusations that this is what was agreed upon and Johnson signed, and even defended.
The prime minister refuses to hold him accountable, resorting to the Internal Market Law, which gives government ministers the identification and definition of "endangered" goods, meaning that can be imposed on customs without returning to the European Union.
In search of other justifications for his taking the step of violating international law, Johnson says that the European Union may even prevent food products from reaching the countries of the Union, but in fact, what will happen is that Ireland - and by remaining in the European Common Market - will have to respect European standards for agricultural products.
The Europeans justify the possibility of preventing some products from entering Northern Ireland, as the United Kingdom has so far failed to provide sufficient data for its health standards for food products.
Discoloring reputation
The 'Home Market' Act unified the position of 4 former British ministers who declared its opposition and considered that it would deal a blow to the UK's reputation in the long run.
Sir John Major, Tony Blair, David Cameron and Theresa May agreed that this law would tarnish Britain's reputation and turn it from the most ancient democracy in the world to a country that violates international laws and backs down from an agreement and treaty concluded by it.
This law caused an unprecedented crisis between the cabinet and legal institutions in the country, with the head of legal affairs in the government Jonathan Jones announcing his resignation in protest of what he considered to be a conflict with legal principles.
Given the sensitivity of this file, a number of military officials have stated - some of them preferring not to reveal their identity, and others who have made this explicit - that this law would be a blow to the image of the United Kingdom.
Security officials fear that the Johnson Act will distance London from its natural allies, and provide an excuse to opponents (Russia and China) that Britain is also violating international law.
In addition to the fears, the greatest fear among the top security personnel in Britain is the impact of this law on the "Good Friday" agreement that approved peace on the island of Ireland, as hints began on the island that any change in its status and the movement of goods in it is considered a threat to this agreement.
As for the Europeans, the approved language is a threat to resort to international courts, and not to conclude any trade agreement with the United Kingdom. Rather, the echoes of the law reached the United States, where US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed the need for her country to wait for a free exchange agreement with Britain After the passage of this law, because it gives negative signals about London's handling of international agreements.
