He pointed out that international resolutions \u201cno longer mean anything on the ground,\u201d at a time when international institutions are unable to open a single gate in the West Bank or allow even one liter of water into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1533\">He explained that the most dangerous aspect facing the Palestinian arena is the world\u2019s acceptance of this harsh reality, along with the decline of formal Arab engagement, at a time when arrests and settler attacks are escalating, and a policy of intimidation is being imposed\u2014aimed at depriving Palestinians of any sense of safety in their homes, their land, and their movement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1889\">Khallouf revealed that the architect of the \u201cconsciousness-shaping policy,\u201d former Israeli minister Moshe Ya\u2019alon, admitted about seven months ago to the failure of this policy, stressing that this acknowledgment means, strategically, that Palestinians have won the battle of will despite all attempts by the occupation to strip them of their resilience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"2224\">He added that the Palestinian citizen\u2019s ability to adapt to occupation measures\u2014from checkpoints to ever-increasing restrictions\u2014is evidence of strong popular will. \u201cBut the real problem lies in the factions and the Authority, which adapt to the reality instead of pushing it toward a calculated political and popular confrontation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2585\">In a related context, Khallouf criticized the performance of the Arab League, affirming that \u201cthe agenda of the normalization states\u201d has come to dominate the League\u2019s discourse, leading to a decline in its real role, despite the fact that the Arab Parliament was established to represent peoples, not regimes\u2014something that has not been achieved to this day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"3007\">The political analyst stressed that the real Palestinian bet should be on national self-reliance, not on regional or international promises. He called for formulating a comprehensive national plan that strengthens citizens\u2019 resilience, supports the local economy, activates the role of state institutions and the private sector, and enhances social solidarity while providing direct support to affected families in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3277\">Khallouf also called for revisiting the community security system\u2014including night watches in threatened villages\u2014and developing the political and moral-guidance structure, similar to Egypt\u2019s experience, where such a system played a pivotal role during the October War.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3279\" data-end=\"3608\">He concluded by stressing the need to end stagnation and unify leadership and political vision, in light of the ongoing aggression and escalating conditions in the West Bank and Gaza, emphasizing: \u201cThis phase requires a comprehensive national awakening, because the one who endured on the ground is the citizen\u2014not the factions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political analyst Dr. Mahmoud Khallouf warns of the dangerous political and field conditions facing Palestinians amid expanding Israeli aggression, rising settler attacks, and ongoing international and Arab paralysis.
