Doha Summit: The Mountain Gave Birth to a Mouse!

Author: أحمد صيام 

Despite the fact that the words of kings, princes, presidents, and Arab envoys at the emergency Doha summit differed slightly from previous summits in terms of "strong rhetoric", they did not rise to the level of the challenges facing the Arab and Islamic nations. This was disappointing for the hopes and aspirations of tens of millions of Arab peoples who were looking forward to strong Arab action backed by pressures and power, which they have not yet managed to utilize effectively. They viewed this summit positively, especially after the breach of Qatar's sovereignty by the Israeli state, with great expectations that people believed expressed an Arab awakening to confront the conspiracies being plotted against the nation and would open wide doors, capable of prompting the Israeli state and its ally the United States to take them seriously and reconsider their plans for the Middle East. Unfortunately, it was disappointing, which the Israeli state interpreted as some of its analysts, writers, and media indicated that this summit would differ from its predecessors in terms of expectations for outcomes that strengthen the steadfastness of the Palestinian Arab people and support them adequately to continue resisting the occupying state. They hoped for actions that would negatively impact the vitality of the Israeli state. Instead, Israeli officials seized the outcomes of the Doha summit and considered it a green light to continue aggression and commit further crimes against the Palestinian people. They also continued to pursue anything that threatened their project they dream of achieving at the expense of Arab land and people. As a result, the Israeli state escalated its inhumane practices that violate all international laws and norms, bilateral agreements, and human rights laws, proceeding with its project without any obstacles after the Doha summit removed the barriers in front of it and abandoned its last stronghold - Palestine - after which Arab capitals would be inundated with blue hues. Fifty-seven countries, led by 57 kings, presidents, princes, and envoys, along with dozens of entourages, arrived on 57 planes that landed in Doha, stayed in 57 hotel suites according to their ranks, exchanged kisses, smiles, meetings, and photos. In the end, after they voiced their opinions and produced a joint statement, it was like the common saying: "The mountain gave birth to a mouse." Subsequently, each of them returned to their homelands, awaiting the impending Zionist-American deluge that is now closer than ever to their countries, starting to think about a search for a safe place to settle after dragging behind them the tails of humiliation, disgrace, defeat, and the forfeiture of the rights of their countries and peoples. The Arab leaders at their "emergency" summit did not grasp the magnitude of the risks surrounding them, despite two years passing since the Israeli state crossed red lines with its continuous aggression against the Palestinian Arab people in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, which also targeted Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. The Arab leaders at their emergency summit overlooked the new cards of strength that came as a gift from the skies due to Israeli recklessness and barbarism, and they did not know how to exploit them to deter the rogue Israeli state, which has become isolated and outcast in the international community. Its officials now roam around like thieves, fearing arrest and trial with a noose tightening around their necks. They failed to capitalize on the millions of Europeans taking to the streets in protest against Israeli crimes against Palestinians, and their actions did not rise to those of some European countries that severed their economic ties and suspended their agreements, like the Kingdom of Spain with the Israeli state in victory for Palestine and for violating international law with its brutal practices. Moreover, the Arab leaders did not wisely utilize the disintegration affecting Israeli society and the protests in the streets of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other occupied Palestinian cities from relatives of detained prisoners held by the resistance. Many members of the Israeli political and military elite opposed the far-right policies led by the fanatic Benjamin Netanyahu, who dreams of a "Greater Israel", to the extent that some Israeli voices have begun to rise and call for the overthrow of this trio due to the danger it poses to their existence. The Arab leaders at their summit did not reach the scale of the catastrophic threats of Israeli arrogance and the escalation of military operations in a region that is on the brink of a new phase of total chaos due to the Zionist-American recklessness and blatant arrogance, which will undoubtedly affect the interests of all regional and international parties without exception. The Arab leaders have not yet realized that the air defense system deployed in the Gulf Arab countries is useless as they do not possess the keys to activate it, so they only welcomed the U.S. Secretary of State, with his malicious smiles hiding threats and warnings. He rushed to rescue the most important ally and policeman in the region, if we dare say the "bratty" - the Israeli state - whose plane landed in Doha after a visit to the Israeli state during which he opened a tunnel beneath the Old City of Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, giving the green light for the rogue state to continue its inhumane aggressive operations against Gaza and its policies of displacement and ethnic cleansing. Marco Rubio came to Doha to remind that he holds the keys and codes to this American air defense system which no country can use to confront the Israeli state. The Arab leaders have become a curse on their peoples, embodying disappointment and defeat within themselves, turning them into a herd that drives them to the slaughterhouses, hastily issuing statements of condemnation and denunciation, without the slightest concern for the humiliation and waste of their dignity and the violation of their honor. They boast about adorning themselves with medals and honors while humiliating their peoples and suppressing their thoughts, clinging to division and disarray, insisting on remaining zeros outside all regional and international accounting houses.
