VT’s Stuart Littlewood Reports on Israel’s newly energized push towards Eretz-Israel and the elimination of the indigenous peoples.
Here’s a classic example of the false and self-deluding nonsense that passes for peace efforts in the Holy Land. On 26 February Jordan hosted a meeting at Aqaba between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The meeting was called to de-escalate the sharp increase in violence in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Afterward, the Jordanian foreign ministry published an Aqaba Joint Communique in which Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) “confirmed their joint readiness and commitment to immediately work to end unilateral measures for a period of 3-6 months”. This included an Israeli commitment to cease any new settlement units for 4 months and to stop authorizing any other outposts for 6 months.
They also agreed “to pursue confidence-building measures and strengthen mutual trust in order to address outstanding issues through direct dialogue”. And they would work in good faith to assume responsibilities and to enhance mutual trust through this arrangement.
In January 2023 alone, at least 29 Palestinians under occupation including five children have been killed by idf soldiers.
Good faith, and mutual trust…. sounds just fine, but is it?
The very next day Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported saying that the building of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank will continue to go ahead. He tweeted that there “will not be any freeze” on settlement construction and that building and authorization will continue according to the original planning and building schedule, with no change.
