Watan-The spokesperson for the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, revealed a decision by Arab and Islamic countries that could potentially halt the war being waged by the Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip since October 7th of last year.
During an interview with Al Jazeera, Abu Rudeineh was asked about the decision that, if taken by Arab and Islamic countries, could stop the Israeli war on Gaza.
The spokesperson for the Palestinian Presidency responded, saying, “Only when they speak with one voice to the American administration and make it understand that it is jeopardizing the security and sovereignty of more than 50 Arab and Islamic countries, and make it fully understand that the interests of the American administration lie with the Arab and Islamic peoples, not just with Israel.”
He added, “Israel is a colonial entity created on Palestinian land with British-American manufacturing, and it is up to the American administration to care about its interests and not just the security of Israel alone.”
He pointed out that Israel is an aggressive state against the Palestinian people, violating and breaching all international laws, disregarding the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council, and not respecting anyone or paying attention to any voice other than that of the American administration.
He continued, “This does not mean that we trust the American administration or Israel, but unfortunately, the American administration is the only one capable of exerting pressure on Israel, and Arab countries are capable of pressuring America if they take a unified stance.”
