The head of the Mokha Center for Strategic Studies, Ateq Jarallah, affirmed that the Israeli aggression against Qatar was neither shocking nor surprising, especially under the rule of the extreme right in Israel, and in light of the United States\u2019 retreat from the values it has long exported to the world, as it accepts being the umbrella covering the destructive policies practiced by the Israeli entity.
\nIn an interview with Yemen Shabab TV, he stated that Israel has begun attacking several countries without any legal justification or international legitimacy, which has led to its growing isolation\u2014even from some European Union states\u2014to the extent that the United States and Israel have become like \u201corphans\u201d in the halls of the United Nations due to this isolation.
\nJarallah stressed that the Israeli assault on Qatar reflects weakness, not strength, explaining that such arrogance and reckless behavior are only adopted by a party lacking confidence, consuming its last cards through brute force. He pointed out that Hamas politically outperformed Netanyahu\u2019s government by handling all initiatives with flexibility, which placed Netanyahu in real confrontation with his own people.
\nHe added that whenever Israel sees the U.S. administration wavering between the option of force and that of negotiation, it pushes toward reckless actions and escapism, which in turn undermines its own security.
\nHe also explained that this American confusion in lining up behind Israel grants China and Russia major gains and puts Washington in a losing position before its allies, at a time when Gulf partnerships with China are expanding in various fields.
\nJarallah also observed that Israel\u2019s actions have revealed its true nature to the world, particularly since the \u201cAl-Aqsa Flood,\u201d with U.S. universities and international organizations emerging as key supporters of the Palestinian cause. He warned that this growing solidarity could have long-term strategic consequences.
\nHe added that Israel\u2019s targeting of neighboring states may prompt these countries to reconsider their positions, and that Gaza represents the last gateway before potential regional fragmentation.
\nConcluding, Jarallah said the U.S. and Israel may ultimately require Qatar to return to a central role in negotiations\u2014not necessarily Hamas. He warned that the unified Arab and Islamic stance against aggression on Qatar could shift in response to Israel\u2019s continued recklessness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
