The British newspaper (The Guardian) said that Israel has changed its laws and amended its policies in order to achieve one goal of protecting the occupation, but no normalization agreement - whether with the Emirates or Bahrain - will bring it peace, stressing that the "racist" occupation policies in Palestine do not exist. Save Israel from the inside.

In an article by Palestinian writer and lawyer Raja Shehadeh, the newspaper stated that after more than a quarter of a century of handshake between the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in the White House lawn in September 1993, on the occasion of the signing of the Oslo Accords, Israel managed to transform its occupation of the Palestinian lands. From burden to gain.

Under this transformation, what had long been seen as a responsibility - that is, a flagrant violation of international law - became an Israeli "valuable commodity".

Understanding this development - according to the newspaper - is the key to understanding why the Israelis signed two peace agreements with two Gulf states that are geographically distant and not with their closest neighbors (the Palestinians), without whom a real peace could not be reached.

Occupation management

The Guardian asserts that Israel has learned in recent years how to manage the occupation file forever and at the lowest cost. Since the beginning of the occupation in June 1967, Israel has been unwilling to recognize the Palestinian people or give up its control over the occupied Palestinian territories in order to achieve peace.

This is clearly evident through the occupation archives, as Israel issued, just two days after the start of the occupation in 1967, Military Order No. 3, which referred to the Fourth Geneva Convention relating to the protection of civilians in time of war, which obliges Israeli military courts to adhere to the contents of the agreement in their procedures, but after 4 Months this part was removed from the contents of the military order.

In September 1967, when the legal advisor to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Theodore Meron, was asked by Prime Minister Levi Eshkol whether the construction of new settlements in the occupied territories violated the Geneva Convention, which prohibits any occupying power from transferring its citizens to lands controlled by war, he replied in the affirmative. His advice was subsequently ignored, and the Israeli government has since begun to establish illegal Jewish settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

In the months that followed, Israel began a process that continued for many years represented in amending the laws governing the Palestinian territories - since the period of the Ottoman and British mandates and Jordanian control over the land - to build a false "legal" basis that would enable it to seize land and natural resources through settlements.

The use of settler violence is a fundamental pillar of the Israeli occupation strategy, according to the (European) newspaper.

Settler violence

On the other hand - the newspaper affirms - Israel has based its policy of changing laws and enabling its settlement project on a second element, which is absolute violence by the settlers, as representatives of the official state can remain within the boundaries of the country's laws that have been repeatedly rewritten, while the rioting settlers carry out the task of intimidation and violence to achieve The desired goal, all within the framework of a single scheme.

Since the beginning of the Corona pandemic, settler violence in the West Bank has become an almost daily occurrence. Everything is done in public, and the Israeli government and courts do not hesitate to support settlers and work to achieve the goal of "Greater Israel".

At a time when settlers' violence against Palestinians rages, which prevents them from working or exploiting their lands, neither the Israeli army nor the Israeli police make any real attempt to prevent what is happening. Rather, the Israeli authorities consider any Palestinian resistance to the occupation tantamount to "terrorism."

With all these "victories" on the part of Israel - the newspaper says - it is now convinced that it can manage the occupation instead of ending it. Rather, it began to view it as an advantage, as it turned, for example, the occupied territories into an open laboratory for testing weapons and surveillance systems and marketing them to many partners, including its main ally. United State.

The Guardian concludes that despite all this financial investment in the occupation and with all the ongoing distortion of local laws to protect the illegal settlement project, and political deviations to win tyrannical allies, such as US President Donald Trump and the two Hungarian leaders Viktor Orban or Brazilian Jair Bolsonaro, this policy does nothing but spoil Israel from And turning it into an apartheid state that rules millions of Palestinians unlawfully.
