Far from helping the Palestinians facing a brutal zionist genocide, Arab regimes led by Saudi Arabia are demanding that Hamas surrender its weapons and leave the Gaza Strip.
As if this was not bad enough, news has emerged that Saudi cargo vessels are delivering weapons to the zionist entity.
This came to light when dock workers in Genoa, Italy blocked passage of a Saudi vessel carrying weapons to Israel.
Let that sink in.
The demand for Hamas to disarm was made in what came to be called the New York Declaration.
Held in New York on July 29, members of the Arab League including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and joined by Turkey made this outrageous demand of Hamas.
This was couched in the language of a proposal for a “two-state solution”.
This “two-state solution” is dead. It cannot be resuscitated.
Compounding their crime calling on Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza, the Arabian rulers demanded that the Islamic resistance hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority (PA).
The PA is made up of the most corrupt and crooked elements in Palestinian society who work as subcontractors for the zionists.
The PA’s despicable record is well known to the Palestinians in the West Bank.
The zionists have given the PA responsibility to collect garbage—which they don’t do as witnessed by the garbage-littered streets of Palestinian towns and villages—and act as collaborators for the zionist entity—which they do with great enthusiasm.
The PA was defeated in Gaza during the 2006 elections that Hamas won with a huge majority.
This followed the zionists’ military defeat in the tiny enclave in 2005.
They escaped under relentless pressure from the Islamic resistance.
Following the 2006 internationally supervised elections, which Hamas won hands down, it still agreed to work with the PA.
The latter, however, only acted as spies for the zionists.
Fed up with their treachery, the resistance drove the PA out of Gaza in 2007.
They fled to the West Bank and were given shelter by the zionists on the condition that they work for the occupiers.
This is what they have done ever since.
The Arabian rulers’ call for Hamas hand over authority to the PA is akin to handing it over to the zionists.
The Palestinian people hold the PA and its operatives in deep contempt.
In addition to their corruption, the fact that they collaborate with the enemy is an unforgivable crime.
The demand that Hamas must disarm was first made by the zionists many years and has been repeated ever since.
After nearly two years of brutal military assault on the tiny enclave, the zionist war criminals have failed to defeat the Islamic resistance.
Far from it. The Islamic resistance has inflicted massive casualties on the zionist war criminals.
Thousands of Israeli soldiers have been killed or wounded.
Tens of thousands of others suffer from mental depression.
Suicide rates among soldiers have skyrocketed.
While the entire infrastucture of Gaza has been destroyed, the Islamic resistance continues to launch daring operations against the occupation troops.
That the zionists demand Hamas’s disarmment is proof of the fact that the resistance is not defeated.
What they cannot achieve through military means, the zionists want their Arabian puppets to achieve through conferences.
Every day, events in Gaza expose the treacherous nature of the Arabian rulers whether in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE or joined by the arch-munafiq Recep Tayip Erdogan of Turkey.
Even as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been massacred in Gaza and millions are on the verge of starvation, the resistance and the people refuse to surrender.
The fact that they do not want to leave the tiny enclave despite facing horrific conditions including a zionist-induced famine, is testimony to their courage, resolve and faith.
History will record the heroic deeds of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
It will also render a very harsh judgement against the treacherous Arabian rulers.
Those Muslims who collaborate with them or apologise for their criminal conduct must also be held accountable.
