Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chose - in his first speech after the ceasefire on the Gaza front - to incite the 48 Palestinians, and accuse them of inflaming the home front, with the start of the Israeli army's military operations against the resistance factions in the Strip, in statements that reflect the internal crises that Netanyahu is facing, which is escalating Whoever incites him against the Palestinians of the interior and places them in the "enemy" circle.

Despite the incitement choir run by the top of the Israeli political pyramid, the Palestinian interior launched protests against the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, and organized rallies in support of and support for Gaza, Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and support for the people of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood who are standing up to the plan to deport and displace them and transfer their properties and homes to the settlers.

With the aggression on Gaza, and in a dangerous shift that reflects an escalation in the struggle for existence in historic Palestine, the Israeli government gave the green light to settler gangs by attacking 48 Palestinians and attacking them in coastal cities, in an attempt to intimidate and deter them from participating in the popular uprising, and discarding the Palestinian cause. .

Despite settler attacks and the Israeli police's suppression of protests inside Arab towns, and the Israeli establishment's threats to use excessive force to quell the popular uprising, the protests continued, and 48 Palestinians paid a blood tax for the martyrdom of Musa Hassouna, 31, from the city of Lod, by the bullets of a settler. From Umm al-Fahm, shot by the Israeli police, just as the Palestinian interior raced in announcing the dignity strike on May 18, to encompass all of historical Palestine, in scenes that strengthened the unity of all Palestinians and established a new phase in dealing with Israel.

Delegitimization

Tawfiq Muhammad, a member of the High Follow-up Committee for the Arab People, says that the war on Gaza, which Netanyahu had fabricated in order to preserve his seat and prevent the formation of any alternative government, takes multiple walks and on several arenas and fronts, and perhaps the Palestinian interior is the main axis.

Muhammad added: "From here, we understand that Netanyahu continues to incite against the Palestinian interior, delegitimize the Arab parties represented in the Knesset, and also delegitimize any government established with the support of the Arab lists in the Knesset."

In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, a member of the High Follow-up Committee cites Netanyahu’s systematic approach to the unprecedented incitement against the 48 Palestinians during the four electoral rounds of the Knesset, as the matter reached the point of warning that Arabs will participate in large proportions in the Israeli parliamentary elections, saying, In a sign of him to delegitimize the Palestinian presence inside.

Netanyahu also addressed the police and security services - after Hassouna's martyrdom in Lod - saying, "Do what you think is appropriate," meaning that "Netanyahu's statements were like a license to kill Palestinians. We are facing a scene that exudes racism, discrimination, oppression and terrorism practiced on the Palestinian people, which would lead To aggravate the situation and harm political and social work, "according to what Muhammad asserts.

A member of the Arab Follow-up Committee clarifies that Israeli society is heading in the vast majority towards racism, and is revolving in the orbit of the right-wing camp, where we have witnessed the attacks on Palestinians, raids, searches, persecution and arrests of the leaderships, just for solidarity and protest with the Palestinian people, and to participate in an activity of self-defense. And confronting the assaults and attacks of settler gangs in Lod, Jaffa and Acre.

Determine the gains

Regarding the gains made by the Palestinians of the interior (whose population is 1.5 million people, who make up 20% of the population in Israel), Muhammad says, "The gains can be determined by two axes: the political, doctrinal and constants' axis, and the civil, human rights and services axis, in which the loss may have been heavy for the Arabs in light of Attempts by state institutions to take revenge on them for their involvement in the protests and the popular uprising, but experiences prove that the peoples entering the path of liberation and liberation must pay the price.

And he affirms that the main gain is "thwarting and thwarting any aspiration of an Arab party to support any Israeli government and assimilate into the Israeli political scene, which means the collapse of projects of captivity and attempts to domesticate the Palestinian interior, adherence to the foundations and renewal of the covenant with Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, considering this issue is in the depth of the Palestinian constants." A red line that cannot be crossed. "

They are coexistence

The same argument was adopted by a professor of political science, Professor Saeed Zidani, who believes that the Palestinian popular uprising brings the Palestinian cause back to the fore, with emphasis and renewal of adherence to the principles and unity of the Palestinian people. Coastal areas are attempts to empty the Palestinians, replace settlers, and obliterate the Arab identity and character of the place, he said.

Zidani explains to Al-Jazeera Net that the coastal cities of Jaffa, Lod, Acre, Ramle and Haifa, which are locked in a struggle for Palestinian existence and identity, were at the forefront of the circles of targeting and attacks after the unprecedented repression in Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

As for the Palestinian internal gains due to its involvement in the popular gift and what will be based on it, Zidani says, "It is too early to talk about tangible gains, but without any doubt there is a complete bias towards the Palestinian cause, and again the young generation affirms: We are an integral part of the Palestinian people, and therefore projects have been dropped." Families, and also to drop the illusion of coexistence with the occupation projects, and that freedom, independence, and justice and equality must be achieved. "
