Nasser Kandil wrote: The Palestinian equation of Berri

  • The Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament has issued from the International Conference on Palestinian Intifada in Tehran a Palestinian equation of two parts.
  • The first part of the equation compares the relations of Iran at the days of Shah with the issues of the region and their domination on their governments, but in spite of that the countries of the region did not treat Iran as they treat it today. He compares its international relations by showing its respect of the human rights and the democracy and in spite of all of that it had the prestige and the support contrary to what is happening today, then he concluded that all the hostility toward Iran is because of its sticking to Palestine.
  • The second part of the equation is based on approaching the American threat of transferring the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
  • Berri does not accept the theory of the Arab and Islamic inability; he wondered what will be the position of the Arabs and the Muslims if they close their embassies in Washington as a result of transferring the embassy by Washington.
  • America is a country that based on interests, so the result will be its regression of that step, in case it feels of Arab and Islamic seriousness.
  • The Arab and the Islamic realities encourage targeting the Palestinians and their cause, and direct the hostility to Iran due to its support the Palestinian Cause.
  • The Arabs do not normalize their relation with Israel because they fear from Iran; on the contrary they are in hostility to Iran because they see Israel as an ally.
