Okay, here’s a breakdown of the key themes and arguments presented in the provided text, delivered by Al-Safadi.I’ll organize it into sections for clarity.
I. Condemnation of Israeli Actions & obstruction of Peace
* Settlement Expansion: Al-Safadi strongly condemns Israel’s continued expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank, framing it as protecting “terrorists” (settlers) who attack Palestinians and confiscate land. He highlights the recent boast by the Israeli Prime Minister about authorizing new construction and actively working against a Palestinian state.
* Economic Warfare & violence: He accuses Israel of economically besieging palestinians, killing chances for peace, and generally jeopardizing the future of the region. He specifically mentions daily attacks on Palestinians.
* Gaza Crisis: A significant portion of the speech focuses on the dire situation in Gaza, describing it as a “land of death” where Israelis are committing genocide. He details the widespread starvation, killing, and displacement of Palestinians, and the prevention of humanitarian aid. he states over 100 Palestinians are killed per day.
* Lack of Partnership for Peace: The core argument is that currently, Israel is not a partner for peace. Al-Safadi asserts that Israel’s actions demonstrate a commitment to aggression, violating sovereignty, breaching international law, and inflicting suffering on Palestinians.
II.support for Qatar & Regional Security
* Solidarity with Qatar: Al-Safadi expresses strong support for Qatar following recent aggression (the nature of wich isn’t detailed in this excerpt). He emphasizes that Jordan stands with Qatar in protecting its security, sovereignty, and citizens.
* Interconnected Security: he stresses the interconnectedness of security and stability in Qatar and the wider region. He frames their vision as a stable and secure Middle East.
III.Advocacy for a Two-State Solution
* The Only Path: Al-Safadi firmly states that the two-state solution is the only way to end the conflict and achieve peace.
* Parameters of the Solution: He outlines the key elements of the two-state solution as:
* An autonomous Palestinian state with sovereignty.
* Based on the 1967 borders.
* East Jerusalem as the capital.
* Security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
* International Support: He points to the conference organized by Saudi Arabia and France (attended by 125 countries) as evidence of international commitment to the two-state solution and calls for further support through recognizing the Palestinian state.
IV. Critique of Israeli Narrative & Impunity
* Rejection of “Surrounded” Narrative: Al-Safadi directly challenges the Israeli claim that it is surrounded by enemies seeking its destruction. He asserts that Arab countries are committed to a fair peace that guarantees Israel’s security and normal relations.
* Impunity & Lack of Accountability: He argues that Israel operates with impunity, escaping punishment for its crimes and allowing it to continue its aggressive actions. This lack of accountability is seen as a major obstacle to peace.
In essence, Al-safadi’s speech is a powerful condemnation of Israeli policies, a plea for international action to support the Palestinian people and the two-state solution, and a strong expression of solidarity with Qatar. He paints a bleak picture of the current situation, arguing that Israel’s actions are actively destroying any prospects for a just and lasting peace.
