These strategic interests are none other than Israel's willingness to take control of energy reserves in the whole Levant Basin, which is the Palestinian reserves, Lebanese and Syrian understood. Washington, supporting Israel is controlling the entire Middle East. But Tel Aviv and Washington had their threatened by Palestinian President Abbas meeting with Russian President Putin January 23, 2014, meeting during which strategies they laid the groundwork for cooperation in the energy sector for exploitation by GAZPROM , a deposit of gas and oil field in the vicinity of the Palestinian city of Ramallah in the West Bank and Technopromexport the construction site of a thermoelectric power of 200 MW. The return of Russia in the Middle East has become a nightmare for Israel, the U.S. and the EU, the French government head. The formation of the new Palestinian unity government June 2, 2014 strengthens the possibility that the agreement between Palestine and Russia can be implemented. The threat to the imperialist plans in the sub-region and becomes more and more real.
The removal of three young Israelis intervened on June 12 and found killed on June 30, has been an excuse to get to a war of self-defense against terrorism, a real occupation of Gaza war bring down the government of national unity, and block the way back from Russia in this part of the world where it has been excluded since the fall of the Soviet Union.
It must therefore demand that Israel and its Western backers, it is not humanitarian truce to treat the wounded and bury the dead, but rather an immediate halt to this new unspeakable aggression and withdrawal troops for the invasion of Palestine. For it is indeed a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Palestinian people, in line with Israel's refusal to recognize the Palestinian national unity government, and the designation of Hamas as a "terrorist organization" by major Western powers.
The harm Hamas is not only refusing to recognize the existence of the State of Israel until it releases Palestine but also in the fact that, upon accession to power in the Gaza Strip after having won the 2006 elections, he rejected the agreement with Israel prepared by the former Prime Minister Tony Blair, the envoy of the "Quartet for the Middle East", which removes the three Palestinians quarters of future gas revenues, by paying their share of international account controlled by Washington and London, and had demanded its renegotiation! Under these conditions, blame Hamas "terrorists" was a convenient way to Washington and its European allies to justify their support for Israel's invasion of Gaza to hunt Hamas prevents turning in circles. There is therefore no problems between "radical Muslims" and "radical Jews" or between "Muslim Arabs and Jews", but it is indeed a problem of continuation of colonization by Israel since 1967!
It is against this war of colonization, the United Nations decided to establish a "Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People" they told the President, our country, Senegal. Our country and received international legitimacy to intervene in the Israeli Palestinian crisis, or the Arab League or the OIC, much less the United States or Europe, have never had.
This is in accordance with this statute, that Senegal can not take unilateral decisions at the diplomatic level to punish Israel. Senegal became with this status, a "political and moral power" globally, and therefore can not, at the diplomatic level on the issue of Palestine, have the same behavior as other countries. By cons, facing this new Israeli aggression, Senegal is obliged to meet the members of the Committee he chairs, to take collective diplomatic action against Israel and force it to stop its dirty war, to withdraw its troops, and to respect the 1967 borders of Palestine recognized by the UN.
But in the immediate future, Israel must meet these conditions restoration of law and justice wielded by Hamas, namely:
- The end of the aggression against the Palestinian people ";
- The complete lifting of the Gaza blockade, in place since 2006;
- The opening of the Rafah border-post with Egypt;
- Freedom of movement for Gazans to the border with Israel;
- The removal of the "buffer zone" forbidden to the people of Gaza;
- The authorization to fish up to 12 nautical miles from the coast of Gaza;
- The release of prisoners (who had been initially released in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011).
However, being at the head of a sovereign state and a people in solidarity with the people of Palestine, the Government of Senegal may make economic and cultural measures in retaliation against the war Israel is waging against the people. But these economic reprisals have no significant impact on Israel in the field of trade in goods between our two countries; where an action to boycott Israeli products has little meaning. However, as pointed out by the M23 in a statement dated July 22, 2014, the picture is quite different in the "e-economy", where our country's cooperation with Israel in the field of "control communications "is economically and strategically significant account held its geostrategic position in Africa. This is where the Senegal may take retaliatory measures significant in the "portfolio" of Israeli companies, and "intelligence" to the security policy of this state. Senegal should therefore immediately terminate all contracts that bind to Israeli companies in the field of "communication control" to participate in global solidarity to force Israel to stop its aggression and to withdraw its troops, and to exclude any public contract, as long as Israel does not respect the existence of the independent State of Palestine in the 1967 borders recognized by the UN, with Jerusalem as its capital.
It is for these reasons that, together, we should demand of our government that takes fully into the pressure of the peoples of the world on Israel to cease its invasion of Gaza, withdraw its troops, and comply with the relevant UN resolutions on Palestine. Otherwise, the place of our country at the head of the UN mission will hardly make any sense.
