Western weapons restrictions against the Zionist regime; Show or real?
Mehr News, International Group: On the eve of the one-year anniversary of the Zionist regime’s crimes in the Gaza Strip, some Western countries, which have always been the biggest financial, military and political supporters of this regime, have tried to revive their tarnished image with a series of apparently humanitarian measures.
Meanwhile, the actions of the two countries, the United States and England, have been reflected in the media more than other western actors, the latest of which is related to the suspension of 30 British arms licenses to the Zionist regime. . In recent days, French President Emmanuel Macron’s criticism of the issue of arms aid to the Zionist regime had provoked strong criticism from Netanyahu.
Behind the scenes of the 10% suspension of British arms export licenses to the Zionist regime
“David Lemmy” British Foreign Minister said a few days ago in a speech at a special session of the British House of Commons that about 30 permits out of 350 Suspends arms sales to Israel over “concerns that they could be used to commit serious violations of international human rights.”
He added: Based on the assessments made over the past two months, the government has no choice but to suspend these licenses because they “can be used to facilitate serious violations of international law.” take it.”
The British government was under pressure from public opinion to stop selling arms to the Zionist regime since the beginning of the invasion of the Gaza Strip, and every week thousands of Palestinian supporters in Different cities of England are protesting and declaring solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza, demanding a complete stop to the war in Barikeh.
According to polls, most of the British people want an arms embargo on the Zionist regime and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The findings of the reliable institute “Yugav” indicate that 56 percent of people want the government to suspend all licenses for the export of weapons to this regime during the war in Gaza.
Before the general election in England, the Labor Party had promised to end the Gaza war if it won. . Due to the existence of a powerful Zionist lobby in Western Europe, now the British government is satisfied with only symbolic measures, including the suspension of a part of the licenses to send weapons to Tel Aviv.
Experts believe that this limited suspension of weapons export license to the Zionist regime does not have a decisive effect on the military cooperation of the two sides. London tried not to upset the Tel Aviv authorities on the one hand, and on the other hand to manage the wave of accusations by Palestinian supporters against the government’s inaction in the Gaza war.
As ”Yeter Ricketts” the former national security adviser of the British government believes, imposing restrictions against the sale of weapons to the Zionist regime should have been done for a long time. It would be taken in advance, however London’s decision will not affect Tel Aviv’s policies.
The British Foreign Minister announced that “the government’s new decision does not mean a complete embargo on arms exports to the Zionist regime, fighters F does not include 35 and will not affect the security of this regime”; Such a statement is indicative of the fact that the restriction of sending weapons will not have a serious effect on changing the behavior of the Zionist regime. Just as earlier this type of behavior was done by America, but it was ineffective and symbolic.
America’s symbolic actions and humanitarian gesture during the Gaza war
In May of this year, the Biden government in the midst of intensifying disputes with the Zionist regime over the attack on Rafah, sending 1,800 bombs of 2,000 pounds and 1,700 bombs of 500 pounds for fear of using them in an attack on Rafah stopped, but this action had no effect on the behavior of the Zionist regime and Rafah was occupied.
The United States has repeatedly sanctioned the settlers and Zionist institutions in symbolic actions for violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, but Washington’s general support for Tel Aviv has made it always witness this Violent and inhuman behavior in this area. In recent weeks, radical Zionists and even the Zionist army have committed the biggest crimes in the West Bank.
The unprecedented decision of the United States to sanction the extremist battalion “Netsah Yehuda” affiliated with the Zionist regime’s army, which A few months ago, the news of “Axios” was reported to the media, and not only it was not carried out, but it had no effect on changing the behavior of the Zionist regime.
The bitter irony is that at the same time as this news was announced, the US House of Representatives approved a 26 billion dollar package of military aid to the Zionist regime.
Congress’s open arms to “Benyamin Netanyahu”, the Prime Minister of the occupying regime, and the representatives’ repeated applause for a person who, despite the genocide and killing of more than 41 thousand people in the Gaza Strip In less than a year, he still does not give in to the ceasefire, he removed the mask from the face of the American officials.
Conclusion
Restrictions on arms sales by Western countries have not affected the behavior of the Zionist regime so far, but some believe that the continuation of these measures can lead to international consensus to pressure This criminal regime and Netanyahu’s surrender lead to a ceasefire; The prime minister who sees the only way to survive his political life and the warmongering cabinet of the regime in the continuation of the battle.
According to this view, “Iman Al-Safadi” the Jordanian Foreign Minister in this Bareh wrote on his personal page on the social network “X” (former Twitter): We ask the British government to extend the suspension of the licenses to send weapons to Israel and we ask all countries for full sanctions implement weapons against Tel Avio.
This message continues, “Until the consequences of the war for Israel are serious, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of this regime, will not end the war in Gaza and the West Bank.” . Also, he will never stop violating international laws and endangering the security of the entire region.”
Despite some optimism, in reality and according to the comments of Western officials, especially the heads of Washington and London, the symbolic nature of the restrictions on the Zionist regime is revealed. Like Matthew’s statement (Matt) Miller” the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who in response to Britain’s restriction of arms sales to the Zionist regime, announced that London had coordinated with Washington before this action.
Just like before the action of the American government in suspending or slowing down the process of sending some shipments Arms to the occupied territories did not lead to the non-occupation of Rafah and the Zionist regime is still at the top of the recipients of American weapons, the British government’s decision to suspend 10% of the arms export license to The Zionist regime will not be a more symbolic and dramatic act.
