Amr: Barak’s Unilateral Separation Policy

An Expression of Fiasco

Mr. Nabil Amr, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs stressed that the unilateral separation policy, which the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak cherishes, is an expression of the failure rather than an attempt to demonstrate success.

“ Israel’s pursuit of such a procedure is a desperate attempt to organize the occupation, safeguard and protect the settlement policy, and to continue its collective punishment measures directed against the Palestinian people, the Palestinian liberation organization (PLO), and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA)”. He affirmed that all facts and indicators demonstrate the inevitable failure of such a racist policy. Adding that: “ The problem of Israel occupation cannot be solved by arranging and enhancing its fist, but rather by the evacuation of this occupation from occupied territories in compliance with political formulas based totally and in accordance with resolutions of international Legitimacy.

Amr explained that “Israel has tried through out the recent decades all the tools it has to subjugate the Palestinian people, or to impose phony compromises, which ended in complete fiasco, for Israel has discovered that its entire military, economic might backed by its allies couldn’t afford her peace and security.”

Amr who was addressing a political orientation course for Palestinian cadres in memory of the late leader “ Salah Khalaf- Abu Iyad “ - that was held at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation and in coordination with the Palestinian General Intelligence Service- Political Orientation Department-stressed that the magic solution for the crisis of Israel lies in Israel’s victory on itself : i.e. Israel should acknowledge the inevitability of withdrawing from the Palestinian territories that its occupied in 1967 war with Jerusalem in the forefront, and of course , Israel should end its occupation of the Lebanese and Syrian Lands.

Referring to the upcoming Israeli election, in his interposition, Mr. Amr said “ It is the destiny of the Israeli people to be cornered between the hammer of the bad and the anvil of the worse, and this situation reflects the depth of the general crisis in Israel, and the failure of the Right and the Left in Israel in steering and defining the practical destination.
