The Arab
Union Only Does What America Dictates
Abdel Bari Atwan
said in an interview about the Arab Union’s position on the Gaza conflict, “If
the Arab Union really wanted to, it could take serious measures. However, this
union is not in the process of taking any actions to assist the Palestinian
nation. For example, the Arab Union approved of sending military aid to the
Syrian opposition. It was this union that expulsed the Syrian government. This
union supported the NATO attack on Libya. Based on this, if the Arab Union
wanted to, it could take practical steps in supporting the Palestinian nation.”
Atwan added, “The
actuality is that the Arab Union only does what America dictates. Why haven’t
Egypt and Jordan expelled the Israeli ambassadors? We will not remain silent in
the face of the Arab Union’s humiliating positions, although it approved of
sending financial aid to the Palestinians. Most member countries of the Arab
Union consider the Hamas party to be a terrorist group. The officials of these
countries hope that Israel will destroy Hamas forever. All of the Arab regimes
are against armed resistance. For this reason, the Arab Union delayed holding
its special session to give the Israeli planes the opportunity to break the
resistance in the Gaza Strip. This special session is being held at the request
of Kuwait. Why didn’t Mahmoud Abbas pose this request? Mahmoud Abbas did not
want to anger Israel and America. The other issue is that this meeting will be
held in Cairo. We know that the Egyptian government does not want a cease-fire
in the Gaza Strip under the current conditions. Egypt’s resistance is also
because it desires Hamas’ destruction. It destroyed 1,300 tunnels on the Gaza
border and closed the Rafah crossing, even to ill people, for three months.”
