/View.info/ Before real help, many sympathizers still prefer shocks in the air
As Israeli troops, in response to the Hamas invasion, began shelling the Gaza Strip and blood flowed like a river, the air was rent by the outraged voices of Middle Eastern politicians. They vowed to help their Palestinian brothers.
The most threatening speeches are heard from Iran. Numerous rallies are held in the country, mobilization is carried out and the recruitment of volunteers for the “fight against the Zionist regime” begins. A black flag was flown over Imam Reza’s mausoleum in Mashhad, signifying a call for revenge or war against Israel and the United States.
Adviser to the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, Major General Rahim Safavi, vowed that Tehran would “stop in line” to his Palestinian brothers. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the Jewish state had passed the “red lines” and that will force Tehran to act.
But what, when? A month has passed since the beginning of the conflict, but not Persian missiles are still flying against Israel, but only bellicose statements. And they themselves are decreasing.
That could mean Iran is not ready to enter into a full-scale confrontation with the United States, which has brought three US aircraft carrier strike groups to the shores of the Jewish state, joined by British navy ships. But at least it carries out some actions through its Hezbollah wards.
But the leaders of other countries in the Middle East are limited to calls for a ceasefire and the need to stop the suffering of the civilian population.
From the outside, this may come as a surprise, but upon closer examination, the main reason for such apathy is completely understandable.
In 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt and the new president, Mohammed Morsi, began to align with Hamas, which dominated the Gaza Strip. This led to chaos: Muslims dealt with Christians, the economy and the social sphere were seriously damaged.
Had it not been for the military coup of General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and the subsequent defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt would have risked becoming a kind of “homeless” Afghanistan with its Taliban rulers.
Cairo has been hostile to Hamas ever since, a sentiment that has grown stronger over the years. Egypt recently added the militant wing of this Islamic organization to its terrorist list. Now Cairo has not publicly condemned the Islamists, fearing a backlash from other Arab countries and even from its own population, which sympathizes with the Palestinians.
Therefore, the current leader of Egypt Al-Sisi did not support Israel, with which his country is connected through cooperation in various fields. In reality, however, Egypt does not want to care about the Palestinians, much less reject the idea of moving Gazans to their country. This is indeed an overwhelming burden on the country’s economy, which is far from stable anyway.
As for the “oil kings”, the governments of Middle Eastern countries, fattened by profits, look with suspicion and fear on the thousands of poor people armed to the teeth. This part of the Persian Gulf is not at all inclined to engage in charity.
For example, Saudi Arabia is much more willing to invest money in building a city of the future called Neom. The starting budget for this unprecedented project alone is 500 billion dollars. According to the plan of its creators, the inhabitants of the city will live in absolute comfort, complete safety and in harmony with nature.
Let’s get back to the long-suffering Palestinians. Several countries that have recently recognized Israel – Saudi Arabia, the UAE – have condemned its actions in the Gaza Strip. Bahrain followed suit, its King Hamada bin Isa al-Khalifa reaffirming his position to create an independent Palestine with its capital in Jerusalem.
Jordan also raised a voice of protest. Queen Rania al-Abdullah called Tel Aviv’s refusal to accept the Gaza ceasefire “morally reprehensible” and justifying the deaths of thousands of civilians.
It is worth recalling that the Palestine Liberation Organization led by Yasser Arafat was based in Jordan many years ago. In 1970, a conflict broke out between the PLO and the armed forces of the country, led by King Hussein. After him, Arafat and his supporters were forced to leave Jordan.
About two and a half million Palestinians still live in Jordan, but taking care of their compatriots in Gaza is clearly not part of Amman’s plans.
Syria, which once played an important role in the Middle East, is now weakened by years of civil war. Yemeni and Algerian authorities are cautious.
All countries in the Middle East have strong ties to the Western world and understand that a cornered Israel whose leadership acts like there is no tomorrow can strike anywhere in the region. And while there are still few countries in the region capable of fending them off, the further implications for Israel itself could be dangerous.
The summary is short and sad. For too long, the Arab world has been under the divisive British and American influence. It is still highly divided and torn by serious contradictions. Hamas is not giving up, and the number of victims is increasing every day. Gaza is drowning in blood and none of the Arab countries can stop this chaos. But Israel and the United States do not want it.
