Why Is the Zionist Regime Failing to Honor Its Commitments and Agreements?
webangah News Agency, International Desk: Since its establishment in 1948, the Israeli regime has consistently led violations of numerous international commitments and signed agreements.This conduct has deepened and prolonged the Palestinian crisis. Recently, Israel pledged a ceasefire under the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement to maintain calm in Gaza. However, this commitment was also broken. Yesterday, Israel launched attacks across various parts of the Gaza Strip, demonstrating that its approach remains unchanged-disregard for obligations and agreements. These assaults came following claims of a Hamas attack on an Israeli armored vehicle; however,Al-Qassam Brigades have denied any involvement. According to latest reports, over 20 Israeli airstrikes targeted eastern Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
Historical Roots of Israel’s Breach of Commitments
To better understand why Israel fails to uphold its obligations,one must examine the historical context surrounding its formation and global powers’ roles during this process. Before Israel’s official declaration in 1948, Britain issued the 1917 Balfour Declaration expressing support for establishing a “national home for Jewish people” in Palestine-ignoring indigenous Palestinians’ rights-which sowed seeds for future conflicts. In 1942, backed by the United States and certain Western powers at the Baltimore Conference, calls were made for forming an self-reliant Jewish state in Palestine. this broad backing effectively enabled Israel to pursue expansionist policies without regard for Palestinian rights.
Following israel’s declaration of statehood in 1948, the United nations adopted Resolution 181 proposing partition into independent Palestinian and Israeli states. Tel Aviv rejected this resolution outright while continuing to occupy vast Palestinian territories. Additionally, Resolution 194 affirming Palestinian refugees’ right of return was entirely ignored by Israel-clear evidence that as inception it has refused to comply with international laws or commitments.
Ongoing Violations of Ceasefires and Agreements
A defining example of Tel Aviv’s unreliability is repeated breaches of ceasefire deals.On many occasions after signing truces or tension-reduction accords-even temporarily-Israel resumes military operations under various pretexts. For instance: Reports indicate over 4,151 violations against ceasefire agreements occurred during conflicts with Lebanon alone.Tensions persist similarly in Gaza where each agreement is swiftly followed by renewed air and ground attacks.The Sharm El-Sheikh deal intended as a step toward ending hostilities faltered immediately when Israeli jets bombarded Rafah,Khan Yunis,and Jabalia.These actions not only erode peace efforts but also cause extensive civilian casualties alongside critical infrastructure destruction.They illustrate an approach grounded more on military pressure & sustained occupation than on diplomatic or political resolutions.
Expansionist Policies Undermining Palestinian Rights
A fundamental reason behind these breaches lies within Israel’s expansionist policies, chiefly illegal settlement construction across West Bank & East Jerusalem.This practice contravenes UN resolutions & international law while serving as significant obstacles toward peace.
By building hundreds of new settlements & enlarging existing ones IsraeI attempts reshaping geographic-political realities depriving Palestinians from large swathsof their land.Additionally,the expansion causes lossof agricultural areas,natural resources,& imposes stringent movement restrictions enforced through tight military controls,resultingin profound humanitarian,economic,social crises among Palestinians.
The Broad US Support & lack Of Strong International Response
A major factor sustaining Israel’s ongoing breaches is unwavering US backing.As Washington remains his closest global ally,it routinely blocks robust measures at international forums aimed at pressuring Tel Aviv.This solidarity includes repeated vetoes against UN resolutions condemningIsrael,massive economic & military aid,and unconditional diplomatic backing during negotiations.Importantly,this emboldensIsraeltopersist unchecked without significant fearof meaningful repercussions worldwide.Moreover,weak coordinated actions globally leave no effective strategy demanding compliance withinternationalnorms,settin stagefor continuationof present conditions.
Main Exemplars Of Breach Of Obligations
- Failure To Implement UN Resolutions: The most notable are Resolutions 181 and 194 which despite their binding nature remain unenforced by Israel;
- Breach of Ceasefires: Post every interim trucesigning,military assaults targetingPalestinian territory resume,resulting not only injuries thousands civilians but exacerbating regional instability;
- Military Attacks And Infrastructure Destruction:tertiary facilities including hospitals schools refugee camps repeatedly targeted constituting blatant violations human rights,basic humanitarian law;
- Illegal Settlements Construction:This remains persistent obstacle preventing meaningfulpeace negotiated endgame across occupied lands;
