Pars Today – Abdel Bari Atwan, renowned analyst of the Arab world, in an analytical opinion, criticized the leaders of Arab countries and praised the Palestinian resistance with the words, “Victory needs patience and it is near with God’s permission.”
Abdel Bari Atwan, in an editorial on Rai al-Youm, referring to the escalation of the Zionist regime attacks on the Gaza Strip and martyrdom of Salah al-Bardawil, member of Hamas political bureau, wrote that al-Bardawil, Yasser Harb and Issam al-Da’alis, of Hamas leaders, were not martyred in a five-star hotel or a palace, but in the camps which have no power and water; as there is no water to drink or perform ablution in these camps. According to Pars Today, quoting from IRNA, Atwan added, “Hunger is very severe in Gaza due to blocking the crossings and stopping humanitarian aid. The aim of these measures is quite clear: to turn Gaza into an uninhabitable place to force them to emigrate. Benjamin Netanyahu said, ‘You yourselves say that Gaza is a huge open prison, so we open its gates so that you go to the developed regions of the world.'”
This analyst also wrote, “Martyrdom of Hamas leaders, while they were fasting, especially Issam al-Da’alis among his people in the camp, is reminiscent of the martyred generals, Yayha al-Sinwar (Head of Hamas political bureau), Mohammad al-Zaif (Chief Commander of al-Qassam battalions) and other martyrs who fought regardless of their military rank and this is the mystery of their steadfastness for one and a half years against the genocidal war of Israel.”
He then wrote angrily about the continuation of passiveness of the Arab world towards the crimes of the Zionist regime, “The martyrs of Gaza have surpassed 50,000 and it is not clear how many it should reach so that the Arab leaders, expel- I don’t say an ambassador- but a guard of the Israeli embassy.”
The editor-in-chief of Rai al-Youm, then pointed to the remarks of Steve Vitkov, Donald Trump’s special envoy to the region, against Egypt and stressed, “Vitkov has insulted Egypt, its people, leaders and army and it was when he warned against the fall of Abdel Fattah El-Sisi (former Egyptian President) due to bankruptcy and economic crisis and %54 increase of unemployment among the youths under the age of 25.”
Atwan continued, “The US government does not respect the weak and deems no value for them. It humiliates the Arabs and Muslims. It is painful that this brazen, provocative and humiliating encroachment does not face any response and it is more dangerous that the Arab pressures have been intensified on the Palestinian resistance to capitulate to the Israeli and American demands for disarmament.”
This Arab analyst concluded, “The Palestinian resistance will not put down their weapons. The missile attacks on Asqalan (Ashkelon) and Tel Aviv concurrent with the Yemeni missile attacks, escape of millions of settlers to bunkers and closure of Ben Gurion airport were strong reactions to Vitkov and Trump. Victory needs patience and it is near with God’s permission.”
