How did the Doha attack depose two Israeli legends?

We recognise its downsides and risks… What are its four benefits? What do we want from the Arab-Islamic summit?

The recent Israeli aggression against the State of Qatar has proven the collapse of two fundamental myths: the first, which promotes the idea that Benjamin Netanyahu personally stands behind the genocide and starvation war in the Gaza Strip and the escalation of tensions in the region, and that with his departure, it can stop immediately; and the second, the confirmed success of the current Israeli deterrence capability on all fronts without exception, a capability supported by a massive intelligence superiority in the Arab region and its Islamic surroundings.

So when more than 75 percent of Israelis support the aggression against Qatar, including opposition parties, to violate its sovereignty and to assassinate Hamas leaders abroad, led by the fighter Khalil al-Hayya, head of the negotiating delegation, this means that the vast majority of Israeli settlers in all occupied Palestine are no less extreme than Netanyahu in their hostility, hatred, and destructive desire toward all Arabs, including a friendly country to America like Qatar, which is considered a “destination” for Israeli delegations, especially the head of the Mossad, David Barnea, who, along with his leadership members, were almost permanent guests in Doha for more than 23 months under the pretext of participating in ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip under American sponsorship.

We, as Arabs and Muslims, are facing a rogue, bloodthirsty entity that is deterred only by excessive force. It practises wars of extermination, starvation, and destruction as part of its biblical and historical strategy to establish a “Greater Israel” over all Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese, as well as most of Iraqi, Saudi Arabian, and Egyptian territory. Unfortunately, we are chasing the “illusory” diplomatic solution to the Palestinian issue and the “lie” of the two-state solution.

The recognition of this solution by nearly 150 countries and their adoption of an independent Palestinian state have not brought a single loaf of bread or a box of medicine to the besieged and starving people in the Gaza Strip, nor have they prevented the annexation of the West Bank and the rampant settlement expansion there, and perhaps later forced displacement in the two regions.

The benefits of this Israeli aggression against Qatar are numerous, and they may fall under the wisdom that says, “Good may come from the depths of evil.” They can be summarised in the following points:

• First: the survival of Hamas leaders, which we attribute to the intelligence and security acumen that, unfortunately, many did not pay attention to, as these leaders learnt from previous experiences, especially the crime of assassinating Mujahid Ismail Haniyeh at his residence in Tehran. This means that the recent Israeli intelligence operations, which involved the killing of Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic leaders in places like Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Gaza, and the West Bank, are now leading to negative results and are not guaranteed to succeed after security checks in all the targeted countries.

• Secondly, the Gulf leaders’ positive and swift reaction to this aggression may have contributed to ending the boycott against Qatar and achieving a reconciliation that resolves most public and hidden disputes, particularly between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as well as between Qatar and the UAE. This was reflected in the solidarity visit to Doha by the leaders of these two countries, either individually or within the framework of the Arab-Islamic summit, and their prominent role in supporting it.

• Third: The fall of America’s prestige as an ally and a friend that Gulf leaders can rely on politically and security-wise, and the collapse of the myth of American protective bases in this field, especially the “deception” that President Donald Trump always repeated to justify his extortion of Gulf trillions, which is that he takes this money in exchange for their protection, meaning it is not free.

• Fourth: Establishing normalisation and diplomatic relations with the Israeli occupation state, whether officially within the framework of the “Abraham Accords” or under the table without an announcement, does not guarantee anti-Israeli aggression. The State of Qatar has acknowledged more than once, through its current or former officials, that it hosted the leadership of Hamas abroad at the request of the United States and with Israeli approval. More importantly, it provided 30 million dollars monthly to the “Hamas” government in Gaza at Netanyahu’s personal request, who sent 15 “F-35” stealth aircraft to bomb it and violate its sovereignty. This is not the place to elaborate and explain the reasons.

Following the war of extermination and starvation in Gaza, the recent aggression against Doha, the destruction and occupation of most of southern Lebanon, and the provocative, ostentatious tour conducted by IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee, The Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon, the occupation of all of southern Syria, the arrest of Syrians in the heart of Damascus after bombing its presidential palace and its army headquarters, and finally the American-Israeli dual attack on Iran and the attempt to destroy its nuclear facilities. Let us not forget the great Yemen that is being bombed daily. After all these attacks, whether together or alone, we need to create a military plan to stop the violent actions of the occupying state quickly; if this doesn’t happen, the main issue for Arab and Muslim leaders at the Doha Summit on Monday will be that we should prepare for more Israeli attacks. We should also prepare for most, if not all, of the participating leaders to be “watchmen” in the Greater State of Israel. The days will tell.
