The Palestinian recognition was welcomed in the West Bank despite fears of the Israeli guarantee

Countries there to protect. But they are the parents.

Abdulaziz Magmah was standing next to his 13 -year -old son, Islam, where the Israeli forces were killed this month at the entrance to the Jenin Refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank.

“My son fell on the ground, then I heard the shot,” he said. “A jeep came in the army and entered five or six soldiers their weapons at me, and I asked me to leave. I didn’t even know that my son was martyred. I started dragging him away.”

Abdel Aziz said that he went to the camp – which was occupied by the Israeli army since January – to restore family documents from his home there.

He told me: “No one for me to complain about him.” “They control everything. The Palestinian Authority cannot even protect itself – it just implement the decisions of the Jews.”

As a Palestinian, Abdel Aziz resigned to eliminate his deficit. As a father, torture.

“In my opinion, I still ask that soldier: Why do you choose a 13 -year -old boy? I’m standing next to him. Shoot me. Why do you shoot children?

The Israeli army said it had shot the neutralization of the threat posed by the suspects who approached them in a closed military area, and they were studying the incident.

She refused to clarify the threat posed by the teenager.

Cities such as Jinin were placed under full control of the Palestinian Authority three decades ago, according to the Israeli -Palestinian Peace Agreements.

The seeds from which the state would grow were supposed to be.

But Israel says it was terrorism that flourished there. In January, the tanks were sent to Jenin and the city of Tolcarim, adjacent to the crushing of the Palestinian armed groups, saying that they would apply the lessons learned in Gaza.

Since then, the Israeli forces have remained, as large areas of the camps were destroyed in both cities, and the demolition of buildings in other areas.

The United Kingdom, France and other countries are now scheduled to recognize the Palestinian state, as Israeli control is spread throughout the West Bank and the Gaza war continues.

The mayor of Jenin, Mohamed Jarrar, took me to the entrance to the camp near where Islam was shot. The army vehicles stationed here can not be seen on my previous visits, but there is now a large land ban on the road, and locals say that Israeli snipers are still examining the area of ​​the upper buildings.

Mr. Jarrar told me that about 40 % of Jenin is now a military zone for Israeli forces, with about a quarter of the population – including the entire camp – displaced from their homes.

He told me: “It was clear from the beginning that this is a major political plan, not a security process.” “This Israeli government wants to include the West Bank and prepare for that, as it wants to prevent any (armed) opposition to its plan.”

Israel also put the Palestinian Authority under a long -term economic blockade, while blocking the tax revenues needed by the Palestinian Authority to pay teachers and the police.

Israel accuses it of financing terrorism by compensating the families of the Palestinian militants who were killed. The Palestinian Authority says it has now canceled this payment system.

Mr. Jarrar said it is very difficult to provide basic services even to the local population and persuade young people not to leave.

He said that recognition of the Palestinian state by Britain, France and France in exchange for this background is important, even after more than 140 other countries have done.

He told me: “This confirms the fact that the Palestinian people possess a state, even if they are under occupation.” “I know that this recognition will lead to a (greater) occupation of the West Bank. But although I believe that recognition is more important, because it will form the future of the Palestinian people, and the international community will be summoned to defend their rights.”

The recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Kingdom and France is also a recognition of the political boom between Israel and its European allies on this issue.

“There will be no Palestinian state,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli Prime Minister in the West Bank last week. “This place is for us. We will see our heritage, lands and security.”

Netanyahu built his career to prevent a Palestinian state, and his government strongly prompted the expansion of settlements in the West Bank.

His extremist right -wing allies were pushing for the official annexation, as Finance Minister Bezallil Sottic recently identified a plan to include 82 % of the West Bank, with the remaining Palestinian pockets cut off from each other.

US President Donald Trump opposed recognition of a Palestinian state, but he did not publicly criticize Israeli moves towards annexation.

Israel seized the West Bank of Jordan in the 1967 Arab Israeli War, and never left.

The establishment of civilian settlements on the occupied lands is illegal under the Geneva Conventions, but Israel argues that it has a historical Jewish right in the West Bank.

About half a million settlers now live, and the Israeli organization, which tracks the expansion of the settlement, says that more than 100 new settlement sites have appeared throughout the West Bank during the past two years.

The outposts are illegal under international and Israeli law, but they receive implicit approval from the Netanyahu government, as well as support for the state in the form of roads, security and facilities.

Earlier this summer, Iman Sofan saw new neighbors reaching the hill next to his house, in the hills south of Naples.

From his window, he and his grandchildren enjoy a clear view of the simple wooden shelter and the corrugated iron shed developed by the Israeli settlers. Iman from the nearby settlement.

He told me: “This settlement center that they set up here is to get us out of our house. Every day a settler comes, a stir in the house, screaming,” leave, leave! “They throw garbage on the threshold of our door. I invite the authorities and say, “We will send the army.” But the army never comes. The settlers are the army, they are the police, they are everything. “

The Iman family built this house, near the village of Burin, a few years after Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967.

Israel has temporarily granted control of rural areas such as these under Oslo peace agreements, with the intention of being transferred to the end to a future Palestinian state, after negotiations on the settlements there.

But Israeli control has been, and the settlements have been exposed, and human rights groups say that the Israeli forces are increasingly supporting settlers’ attacks.

Ayman said that his father had died from a heart attack as the settlers set fire to the house in 2003, and that his house had been burned several times since then.

“He is supposed to protect me,” Iman asked. “The Palestinian police? They cannot even prevent this in cities, how will they come here? Here, my security in the hands of the people who occupy me.”

He says that the international recognition of a Palestinian state is good, even if a few will change on the ground.

“What will come is worse,” he said. “But if I left this house, it would be when I got dead. This house where I was born, where I grew up and lived my childhood; every corner has a memory for me. How can I leave it?”

In decades that have passed on the Oslo agreements, Israeli accounts were crucified, and Palestinian armed groups were strengthened, and control of the Palestinian Authority government was covered.

Father Abdel Aziz Magorim said: “Palestine was never and will never be for it.” “Urgent or later, today, within a year or two, they will leave this country. Palestine will be liberated.”

The United Kingdom and France clung to the idea that two separate states – Israelis and Palestinians – are the solution to the conflict here, even with the taking of the Palestinian territories, and the Palestinian institutions were undermined.

Now, the Gaza war, and the questions about those who will rule Gaza after that, forced these political networks on the open confrontation, as Netanyahu’s extremist allies are flowing to the annexation.

Some Israelis say that the West Bank is like a wild West: a place where the laws and advertisements of the state and sovereignty are not determined.

Israel has long argued that there could be no Palestinian state without its approval.

Now, by moving forward in recognition, the United Kingdom, France and others indicate that Israel cannot abolish the state alone.

A political fact by Israel’s allies to confront its facts on the ground.
