Israel seeks to drag and push US towards wider conflict across region

The former Iranian foreign minister say Israel has been pushing the United States to engage it in a bigger conflict in the region so that the Tel Aviv regime’s defeat is forgotten.

Mohammad Javad Zarif addressubg a summit regarding Palestine which was held on November 4 at Hosseiniah Jamaran said that no one would throw a parachute for Israel.

Explaining international dimension of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and analytical perspective, Zarif said that  since its establishment, the Zionist regime has based itself on two factors and slogans: "The slogan of oppression or disguising itself as a victim along with chanting the slogan of invincibility".

The former top Iranian diplomat said that the founders of Israel used the Holocaust, which was of course a great crime in the history of mankind, but it happened in Europe.

And the Palestinian people had no role in it. But they abused it in order to show themselves as victim and to justify their violent actions aand in this way also kept violating the rights of others

These Israeli excuses and techniques were later called by international relations experts as securitization and intimidation, he said.

The slogan of oppression or victim" was the most important message that the Zionist regime put forward through global statement before and after its establishment qne its existence. 

This process of intimidation started with the Holocaust, continued by occupying Palestinian and  Arabs terrorists, and after the beginning of the reconciliation process in the 90s. But the Israeli regime continued by threatening Iran and claiming that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.

"The need for enmity" is one of Israel's characteristic, it means Israel would always need an enemy. They needed an enemy to settle the internal situation and create international acceptance or acknowledgment of oppression for themselves. This humiliation was to such an extent that the initial position of the Secretary General of the United Nations was not acceptable at all, and I wrote in a tweet that "Shame on the United Nations."

The initial position of the UN chief, which was derived from the atmosphere of false oppression of the Zionist regime,

It was not acceptable at all for a person who is the secretary general of the United Nations and represents 195 countries, not just the Zionist regime and its supporters.

“The second factor that is always used by Israel is the myth of the invincibility of the Zionist regime", Zarof stated

Israel has always tried to use the factor of invincibility to advance and further its goals and to justify its existence. They have tried to create this illusion in the world that they are invincible and there is no possibility to resist the bullying of Israel and the United States.  

Imam Khomeini, who was champion of the Palestinian cause broke this Israeli illusion that Israel couldnot be confronted. Palestine owes Imam in this regard.

While pointing to the approach that was used by the Zionist regime from the beginning, he said: Since the time of the founder of the Zionist regime, Ben-Gurion's opinion was that no war should take place within the borders of 1948 and wars should be within the borders of 1967 or beyond.

It was due to that the idea of Israel's invincibility is not affected.

Zarfi went onto say it is also an undeniable fact that the people of the occupied territories are very different from those Israelis who live in settlements across the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

They came from a very comfortable life in the West to the occupied territories, and many of the residents of 1948 return to their original countries in Europe and the United States if they feel insecure.  

The former foreign minister of Iran stated that the Israelis use a small statement "never again" to fit these two ideas. With their dominance over the world's media scene, a problem that is often tried to happen is the plan of any event as a starting point.

 The events happening and unfolding across  that happened in Gaza is considered as a new event and a starting point, but in terms of international law, as long as there is an occupation, there is a possibility of legitimate defense

 The occupation is the result of an armed attack, and based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, legitimate defense can continue until the end of the armed attack or the necessary action by the Security Council to end the armed attack. Starting history from an unrealistic origin is the Israeli way.

The origin of Palestinian history is from the occupation of Palestine.

Starting history from an unrealistic origin is the Israeli way. The origin of Palestinian history is from the occupation of Palestine. 

This occupation has continued since 1967, even according to those who believe in the two-state solution. UN chief Guterres, as a diplomat and politician with a fresh record, has not come to believe that Israel is an occupier, but these statements came late.

Regarding Israel's invincibility, Zarif said, we do not look at history. It is true that all of Israel's invasions have been successful at first but have subsequently led to failure.

The 1982 attack on Lebanon happened in a situation where they occupied Beirut, but the Palestinian resistance and the Lebanese resistance were created out of this incident. They sent the late Arafat from Beirut to Tunisia and expelled the Palestinian fighters and Fatah, but what happened was the formation of a Palestinian and a Lebanese resistance.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Zarif reminded that the short-term view makes invincibility believable for Israel, but if we consider the origin of history from the beginning of the occupation, Israel failed several times, including the unconditional withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000.

During the era of Sharon, who may be considered the most extreme prime minister of Israel and is also known as "the butcher of Sabra and Shatila" because of the massacre which happened there at that time,  he left Gaza unilaterally and unconditionally in 2005.

They beck then evacuated all the occupied settlements and left Gaza

 Zarif stated that no resistance and no action to the extent of the recent action has damaged Israel's invincibility, and clarified: Until now, an action of this magnitude had not happened inside the territories of 1948.

This showed the serious vulnerability of Israel armed with nuclear weapons and proved that Israel could not protect its occupied and claimed territory against the resistance caused by the occupation.

Even in 2001, America could not eliminate its territory against a group like Al-Qaeda. In New York at that time, we could see the insecurity in the faces of Americans. The three incidents of the Vietnam War, the takeover of  US Embassy in Iran and September 11 were symbols of America's failure.

 Referring to the "Al-Aqsa Storm" operation, Zarif said: In the historical mindset of the Zionist regime, the event that happened in October cannot be forgotten at all.

This is the reason for the unprecedented brutality of the Israelis in Gaza. They want to restore the image of invincibility with unprecedented killings, but I believe that no action can restore the image of Israel's invincibility. 

Zarif stated that a very small number of Gazans applied for asylum at the Rafah border and stated as following:

"If a significant number had gone to the Rafah crossing, Israel could have made the claim that I depopulated Gaza." They could not achieve this goal even with brutal bombing.  

It is a fact that after living in an open prison for seventy years, for them death is either gradual or immediate; they do not tolerate re-refugee; That is why no one is willing to go to Egypt, Syria or Jordan. 

Blinken, the US Secretary of State, went to the region to prepare the conditions for the acceptance of displacement of the people of Gaza, but neither the people nor the countries accepted this.

 Emphasizing that the image of invincibility cannot be recreated by killing and ground invasion, the former foreign diplomat said, with the ground offensive, Israel has entered a trap from which it is not easy to escape.

The presence of a foreign invader in another people's land causes resistance. It is true that since the 1990s, the United Nations abandoned the position it always had, but this organization always considered resistance to foreign occupation and foreign invasion as legitimate.

 Zarif further clarified that now this problem has been found for Israel and they are looking for an escape route.

The West is also facing a prestige problem. The magnitude of the killing of Palestinians has created a pressure in the West that they did not expect.

The propaganda apparatus of the Zionist regime tried to convey a different image to the world and say, for example, that the hospital was targeted by an Islamic Jihad or Hamas rocket, but that level of destruction cannot be the work of a rocket and must be the work of the Israelis, he said.

"Al-Jazeera" covered the issue fairly well and did not allow the Israeli propaganda machine to spread a false reality. Now Israel's attempt to expand the war is to score points. Dragging the US into war and bringing Americans into war with Iran, which was always Israel's dream.

 After the Iraq-Kuwait war, Israel had no higher ambition for a US attack against Iran.

 Referring to the US attack on Iraq in 2003, the former foreign minister of Iran explained that former Israeli Premier Sharon went to the US in 2002 and said that Tehran was the right target of the attack and Baghdad was the wrong address.

The United States did not attack because it knew that the people of Iran would resist and stand against them. And this is our biggest deterrent.

At that time, Iraq had a higher military power than Iran, but with the presence of former Iranian president Khatami, Iran had displayed the image of a reasonable actor who wanted a dialogue between civilizations, and Iraq was a country that was heavily securitized.

On the other hand, Iraqi people did not support Saddam.

 Elsewhere in his remarks,  the former top Iranian diplomat said that the analyzes that were presented at that time, it was important that the Arab lobby, the Israeli lobby, and the hypocrite lobby, which worked with Israeli information and Arab money, made great efforts to launch an attack against Iran.

At the same time, they exposed the nuclear lie; even though we didn't even have a centrifuge in Natanz. The Arabs did not want Saddam to fall at all. From 2003, when Saddam was overthrown. Until 2016, the Saudi Arabia did not send an ambassador to Iraq for 13 years.

Out of these years, the Saudis tried to overthrow the Iraqi government for 8 years. America attacked Iraq because it knew that victory over Iraq was easy because at the time Iraq was isolated and the Iraqi people did not support their government. 

Zarif concluded by saying that the biggest achievement that Israel can have in this matter and create a reputation is to force the United States to engage in a wider conflict in the region so that the defeat is forgotten.
