Following what has been widely dubbed as the failure of a recent emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, following the Israeli attack in Doha, many Arab Nations and political actors continue to pursue the concept of “peace through diplomacy”. This is not only a failed strategy, but also disingenuous.

The recent emergency conference, convened as a supposed step towards imposing a price on the Israelis for violating Qatari sovereignty and striking Doha, in a failed assassination attempt against Hamas leaders, has largely been dubbed a failure. Immediately after the conclusion of this summit, the Zionists escalated their terror bombing of Gaza City, and Israeli media announced the beginning of their ground operation to occupy the area.

Similarly, following the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)’s adoption of the so-called “New York Declaration” on Palestinian Statehood, which is a combined Saudi-French initiative that is bringing about greater Western recognition of Palestine, the Israelis took it as a greenlight to escalate in the occupied West Bank.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese government and a range of ministers have adopted a plan towards disarming Hezbollah. Lebanese Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, has also publicly stated his desire to normalise ties with the Zionist regime in a CNN interview, while claiming that diplomacy will be a sufficient response to force the Israelis to stop attacking his country.

Perhaps more embarrassingly, Syria’s ruler, Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is being widely mocked for his weak 50-second speech at the recent Arab-Islamic Summit, has now been offered a normalisation agreement by the Zionist regime, according to a report from Axios. This normalisation agreement is being sold as a “security deal”, yet has been compared to the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli normalisation accord. 

In Syria, this so-called diplomatic approach will lead only to greater Israeli domination of the fractured nation. The Zionist entity demands that all of Syria south of Damascus be demilitarised, while it remains in the occupied Golan Heights, including the territory they just captured late last year. The Israelis were also revealed by Reuters to be funding around 3,000 militants in the Druze majority area of Suweida.

The Israeli demands in Syria are that they be allowed to have total air dominance and a corridor that would allow direct access to strike Iran, while the authorities in Damascus escalate their efforts to crack down on the Palestinian Resistance and prevent weapons transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

As for the Lebanese government’s approach, the Israelis send their high-ranking officials to tour southern occupied Lebanon and forcefully assert that they will not leave the south of the country. They have carried out over 5,000 violations of the ceasefire agreement over the past year, continue to murder and abduct civilians, while the US-backed rulers in Beirut twiddle their thumbs and complain about Iran allegedly violating their sovereignty.

What is currently taking place is a public humiliation ritual against the Arab leaders, who behave like battered wives who refuse to admit that their rich husbands are abusive narcissists.

The Zionist Entity has bombed Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Qatar, Tunisia, and Iran over the past two years. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly states that he pursues the so-called “Greater Israel” project, as he occupies more territory in Lebanon and Syria, threatening to annex the occupied West Bank and portions of Gaza too. The Israelis are even now threatening Egypt.

The leaders of the Arab and Islamic countries know all this, yet they continue to speak to their populations as if they are intellectually inferior to them and can’t figure out what is going on. The military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, stated in his last speech that these Arabs and Muslims are the enemies of Gaza and will one day be held accountable. His condemnation didn’t come out of nowhere, as he asserted that the whole Muslim world has failed to even deliver food to the people of Gaza.

Last year, prior to his assassination in Beirut, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah warned the Arab leaders that their complicity will come back to bite them, that they too would fall victim to the Zionists they have been collaborating with, and that nobody will be spared.

Frontline leaders in the battle against the Zionist regime have warned the Arab nations of what is to come, yet all of them decided to ignore these calls. Now, the chickens have come home to roost.
