Atvan: Biden’s road map is no different from the road map of the Quadrilateral Committee

report Mehr news agency Quoting Rai Al-Youm, “Abdul Bari Atwan” from the analysts of the Arab world wrote: the road map that Biden presented in his speech on Friday night He talked about the ceasefire in Gaza and the exchange of prisoners, it consisted of three challenging stages, and therefore it is very difficult to implement such a plan. The road map that Biden talked about is similar to the Oslo agreement that led to the involvement of the Palestinians in empty and endless negotiations.

He brought: Biden’s road map with the road map of the international quadrilateral committee, which consists of America, Russia, Europe And it was the United Nations and it promised the Palestinians that they could have an independent state if they surrendered, no difference. During the second Palestinian intifada and the first Palestinian armed intifada in 2000, the international parties promised the Palestinian people that if they stop their intifada, an independent Palestinian state will be established. But what happened was completely the opposite of these promises, and America and Israel agreed to prevent the formation of an independent Palestinian state.

This Palestinian analyst emphasized: the plan that Biden promotes and claims that this plan It is an Israeli initiative and consists of three stages; The first stage, which lasts for 6 weeks, includes a temporary ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from the populated areas of Gaza, the release of children, sick and elderly Israeli prisoners in exchange for the release of more than a hundred Palestinian prisoners and the return of refugees to northern Gaza. The second phase begins after the implementation of all provisions of the first phase and continues for 6 weeks, which includes the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip, the release of all Israeli military prisoners held by Hamas, and the transformation of the temporary ceasefire into a permanent ceasefire. style=”background-color:white”> The third stage is the beginning of the process of rebuilding the Gaza Strip with the funds of Arab countries and international parties under the supervision of various forces.

Atwan stated in the continuation of this article that here are some important points that should be considered after explicit consideration. These three steps should be done: The first point is that this deceptive American plan does not talk about the next stage of the implementation of this plan and specifically the future of Palestine, that is, the creation of an independent Palestinian state and also the future of Israeli settlements in Palestinian lands. . Although Biden‘s speech indicates the recognition of Hamas by the United States, he did not speak directly about the future of governance in Gaza.

He wrote: The first stage of the plan that Biden talked about is full of challenges and gaps, and if If not all, at least it fulfills most of Israel’s wishes; Especially in the context of the release of the majority of Israeli civilian prisoners without the regime’s adherence to a permanent ceasefire. Talking about the withdrawal of the Israeli army forces in the first phase is only limited to the densely populated areas of Gaza. We must mention that due to the continued aggression of the occupying regime, 80% of the Gaza Strip is now uninhabited. Therefore, the important question that arises is, which areas of Gaza are the Israeli forces supposed to withdraw from?

Atvan emphasized: The second stage, which is to be implemented for 6 weeks, is the most dangerous stage of this plan. is counted; So that reaching a permanent ceasefire or the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupying forces from the Gaza Strip requires the implementation of all the provisions of the agreement, which is not possible, because it requires negotiations that will last at least 6 months. For example, the issue of examining the number of Palestinian prisoners who should be released and the sentences issued against them and where they are supposed to go after their release, especially those who are sentenced to life imprisonment, will take several months.

He wrote: Another important point that we should pay attention to is that the plan proposed by Biden is not He did not mention the future of Salah al-Din’s axis and the Rafah crossing and the sovereignty over it. If the transition from the first stage to the second stage becomes challenging and the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, Benjamin Netanyahu, is only satisfied with the implementation of the first stage, and as usual, he starts disrupting and prevents the transition to the second stage and wants to throw the ball in Hamas’s court. The result is that everything will return to zero and there will be no permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of the occupying forces from Gaza.

Atvan emphasized: If the negotiations about the goals of the second phase face an obstacle, which is very likely, It will not be possible to move to the third stage, that is, the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip; As it happened after the Zionist regime invaded this region in 2014, and out of the 5 billion dollars claimed by former US President Barack Obama at the Sharm el-Sheikh conference, not even one dollar will be allocated for the reconstruction of Gaza. It has not been spent.

He continued: It does not seem that the leadership of the Hamas movement has a positive interaction with this American plan. That is, Hamas will not accept this plan without implementing all of its clauses, because it is well aware that Netanyahu will continue to disrupt his work. As it was in the previous round of negotiations and proposals. We also saw that the Prime Minister’s office of the Zionist regime did not react positively to Biden’s statements about the cease-fire in Gaza, and a few minutes after these words, Biden issued a statement and announced that before the destruction of Hamas, the release of all Israeli prisoners and ensuring that a similar operation is not repeated The operation of October 7 against Israel, the ceasefire and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip will not be used.

This analyst emphasized: Biden’s goal is to reach a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip so that he can before The US presidential election can buy time for itself and also be able to focus on the Russia-Ukraine war and giving the green light to the Ukrainian army to bombard the depths of Russia with American weapons. Netanyahu now has no choice but to withdraw unconditionally from the Gaza Strip in order to reduce his casualties and avoid a major defeat similar to the one he suffered in 2005.
