TEHRAN, December 15 -Israel has resorted to harsh tactics in the face of recent Palestinian protests, because the Israeli officials are well aware of their weaknesses in dealing with freedom-seeking Palestinians, says a commentator.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Israel has resorted to harsh tactics in the face of recent Palestinian protests, because the Israeli officials are well aware of their weaknesses in dealing with freedom-seeking Palestinians, says a commentator.
Syed Mohsin Abbas, journalist and political commentator, told Press TV on Saturday that Israeli troops have killed over 200 Palestinians and injured over 18,000 others since the Great March of Return began around March 30th and this crime is a sign of the regime’s weakness.
“The people who are leading Israel at the moment are actually paranoid psychotic, they know they cannot hold on to Israel in the long run, [and] they can see the rise of a genuine resistance,” Abbas said.
“What we are seeing is a panic. We are seeing a panic of Israeli right-wing,” the analyst noted, adding that Palestinian Hamas resistance movement like the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah stands against Israeli occupation policy.
About 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds.
Palestinians want the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed support for Macron’s idea, however, Britain’s Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson has branded it an “absolutely crazy idea.”
EU foreign policy and defense chief Federica Mogherini denied building an entirely European force in November, while NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg warned that EU efforts should not compete with the US-led military alliance, which he described as the bedrock for European security.
The EU statement further highlighted the need for a prompt response to disinformation, which they defined as part of hybrid warfare waged on member nations in the run-up to European polls next May, calling for “swift and decisive action at both European and national level on securing free and fair European and national elections.”
EU leaders censured what they referred to as the "spread of deliberate, large-scale, and systematic disinformation," insisting that the move was a strategic challenge for their democracies and urging a prompt implementation of the Commission’s roadmap to guarantee a coordinated and well-resourced response to the perceived existential threat.
