Middle East Peace and Security Discussion
I just want to add one sentence. The Israeli Prime Minister came here today
and
said that Israel is surrounded by those who want to destroy it, an enemy.
We're here, members of a Muslim Arab committee
mandated by
fifty-seven Arab and Muslim countries.
And I can tell you here very unequivocally, all of us
are willing
to right now, uh, guarantee the security of Israel
in the context of Israel ending the occupation and, uh, uh,
uh, allowing for the emergence of a
Palestinian state, independent state along the
reference that you all agree. He is creating that danger because he simply
does not want the two-state solution.
And if he does not want the two-state solution, can you ask Israeli
officials what is their end game
other than just wars and wars and wars?
I'm telling you, all of us in the Arab world here,
we want a peace in which Israel
lives in peace and security, accepted, normalized with, with all Arab
countries in the context, context of ending the occupation,
withdrawing from Arab territory, allowing for the emergence of an, uh,
independent
sovereign Palestinian state on June four, nineteen sixty-seven lines with occupied
Jerusalem as capital. That is our narrative.
That is-- And we will guarantee Israel's security in
that context.
Can you ask Israelis what's their narrative other than,
"I'm gonna continue to go
to war, I'm gonna kill this and kill that and destroy this and destroy that"?
The, the amount of damage that Israeli government has done,
thirty years
of efforts to convince people that peace is possible,
this Israeli government killed it.
The amount of dehumanization, hatred, bitterness will take
generations to navigate, to, to navigate through.
So ultimately, the question is, we want peace, and we've
laid out a plan for peace. Ask any Israeli official what is their
plan for peace. You'll get nothing because they're only
thinking of the
first step. We're gonna go, go destroy Gaza, inflame the West Bank,
destroy
Lebanon, and after that, they have no plan. We have a plan.
We have no partner for peace in Israel.
There is a partner for peace in the Arab world, and that's why the international
community needs to move.
