US’s Gaza Plan Designed to Give Palestine’s Subjugation Veneer of UN Legitimacy - Mohammad Marandi
The UN Security Council approved the US’s Gaza ceasefire and international stabilization force plans on Monday. Russia and China abstained from the vote. Sputnik asked renowned Iranian-American political analyst Mohammad Marandi for his reaction.
The US Gaza plan is “a fake peace plan that is approved by the UN Security Council will only enhance the strength of the United States and the Israeli regime to further abuse Palestinians and to push Palestinians out of Gaza,” Marandi told Sputnik.
The plan proposes what the observer fears amounts to “an international occupation” of the Strip, with “no mention of Palestinian independence” in the US resolution.
“With this fake mantle of the UN Security Council, they will be able to do a lot of harm in the name of the international community,” Marandi emphasized.
The US "has no intention of allowing the Palestinian people to have a state." The stabilization force will amount to "international occupation," according to the observer.
The US is "a party to the holocaust in Gaza, and so are all Western allies of the Israeli regime, even regional countries that have preserved political and economic ties with the regime over the last two years...they're all complicit in the genocide in Gaza," Marandi stressed, pointing out that without US support, "the Israeli regime, Netanyahu, would not be able to carry out the mass murders that we saw on a daily basis, [and] continue to see...as we speak now."
The observer characterized last month's Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt as a shameful "monkey show," and suggested that attendees "literally sold out the Palestinian people" to try to get in the US president's good graces.
Russian representative Vassily Nebenzia said the Security Council resolution on Gaza passed Monday was “reminiscent of colonial practices and the British mandate for Palestine” that was “granted by the League of Nations, when the opinions of the Palestinians themselves were not taken into account whatsoever.”
He also warned that the lack of clarity about the stabilization force's mandate could make it into an unwitting party to the conflict.
Russia and China abstained from Monday's vote, but did not veto the resolution outright in light of the desire expressed by the Palestinian Authority and regional countries to avoid a resumption of bloodshed in the besieged Strip.
