Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
Washington lifts the ban on Hamas
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The President Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi knows that he has spoken for the participants in Gaza Reconstruction Conference which held in Cairo and at their forefront the American Secretary of State John Kerry. He combined between the success of the tranquilization and the practicing of the Palestinian authority to its powers in Gaza, as two associated conditions for a continuous successful process to the reconstruction in Gaza, he knows and wants as the participants want to let his directed message reach Hamas Movement, which its content is a clear call for the commitment of the partial armistice on one hand, it means the cease fire without raise the blockade in its full meaning; including lifting the full ban on people and goods movement and containing the utilities of land, sea, and air. All of these issues have to be forgotten in order to maintain the cease-fire alone. On the other hand, in addition to the abandonment of the insistence of the full implementation of the armistice, which Egypt has taken care of, there was the abandonment of all the reservations on carrying the security in Gaza to the authority which is led by Mahmoud Abbas and his security body, simultaneity with the announcement of launching the Palestinian National Unity Government, thus, the abandoning of the feature of Hamas of Gaza Strip.
John Kerry the American Secretary of State, knows as well that his political message which is accompanied by two hundred million dollars as a contribution in reconstruction of Gaza Strip, and which the American destruction was estimated about five times of that contribution, was a political ceiling of the conference, in conformity with the settled conditions by the President Al-Sisi, Kerry frankly said that, if you want to join the government of Mahmoud Abbas, then you have to know that this government will be required to sit again to the negotiation table with the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Kerry and Al-Sisi know that whatever the conditions they are talking about, they will not boycott Hamas, if it does not compel to the conditions only, but also they will offer the means of reconstruction which its followers and its institutions will be the first beneficiary of its revenues. Hamas is still the main force of popularity in Gaza, and the nerve which the united governmental institutions in the sector will be built on. In addition to this economical means, there is a political one which based on the consecution of dealing with Hamas as an acceptable power in the new international regional equation, especially in the period after the departure of the brotherhood from the rule in Egypt. The entrance to it, is to deal with it as a partner power in the Palestinian government, and what it implies of relationships and contacts and moving towards enrolling into mutual plans.
Al-Sisi and Kerry know that behind their invitation to Egypt to attend the conference there are substantial reasons, and the participation of Kerry and the contribution of his government of an amount that does not exceed the limits of token contribution, this is from the American administrations’ point of view, and despite the inadmissibility of its comparison with what Israel has offered or what it has affected the war against Gaza i.e. the Patriot missiles that were launched during the war. These reasons are the same ones which led to pre-hold the conference through convening a government at the evening of the date of that conference, through which it announced its plan to spread its authority in Gaza Strip. The acceptance of Hamas has been preceded by Saudi-Turkish understandings away from the situation in Gaza, including the banishment of Muslim Brotherhood of Qatar, and the compliment of Hamas with new policies that do not affect by changes.
The leaders of Hamas know that the consequences of Gaza’s war, which the occupation army failed in overthrowing the resistance has raised the national attitude’s limit which attract the Palestinians attitudes, and has facilitated the path of reconciliation, moreover it has raised the American ability’s limit to press on Netanyahu, in order to make the policies of his negotiated government meet more the demands which it had refused before the war. As a result of Hamas’s enrolling through its brotherhood’s referentiality beside the governments of Ankara and Al-Doha, the political outcome of this war will enhance and vitalize the track of negotiation and will not stabilize the choice of resistance. Hamas knows that what it has presented in politics by preparing itself to support the track of negotiation which entitled the withdrawal of occupied Palestinian territories in 1967 and the willingness to accept a long truce reaches to twenty years have not happened in vain. Moreover the announcement of Khaled Meshaal of that the governments of Turkey and Qatar which are friendly countries to Israel, is a political title for Hamas and the war of Gaza. The American and the Israeli know that this message was not a spite of yesterday allies in Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah, but it is promotional exploiting of the contention with those old allies to be with the essential allies and their political agenda.
The Israeli Minister of Finance Avigdor Lieberman knows as well, that what he has said, about that his government did not hinder the conference of reconstruction Gaza and what it has resulted of, is an American demand to facilitate an integrated plan for the coming period that has new political titles, its forefront is resuming the negotiated track with the approval of Hamas Movement since Netanyahu’s government knows the nature of the endeavors and its stages.
Whereas, we know that what is going is a rearrangement of the papers of the alliance which Washington leads, and a distribution of roles among its parts, moreover it is an employing of all the parties of the alliance including Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, firstly to ensure the security of Israel, then devoting to the others. Al-Qassam forces become involved in expressing its attitude towards what is going on about the future of the resistance.
