The presidents of both sides paid visit to the EU institutions, asking for different kind of support and showing lack of conditions for political dialogue
Opinions
Which future for the Arab-Israeli conflict? A future of conflict. Neither the president of Israel nor that one of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) were able to give Europe assurances for the times to come. On the contrary, the made clear peace is not an option on the table, because there is not even a table where sit around. Revlen Rivlin blamed the Palestinians, Mahmoud Abbas did the same with Israelis. After their contemporary visit to the EU institutions, the two leader made only clear the international community can forget about a solution of the Arab-Israel issue. «A permanent agreement for peace between us and Palestinians cannot be achieved», said Rivlin yesterday addressing the Plenary of the European Parliament. He basically said Hamas «is political and ideological busy in annihilating Israel», which makes impossible having the right environment to negotiate anything since the conditions needed for a peace agreement «are failing to materialise». The same said Mahmoud Abbas today, giving all responsibilities to the Jewish State. «We made progress at international level, we didn't move any step forward with Israel», said the leader of the PNA in his speech at the European Parliament plenary session. «Israel refuse to respect all the commitments». Both sides offered the same version of the story, basically repeating history. It is clear there is no political will to go ahead. The situation is more and more deteriorated, that is the truth. Rivlin come to Brussels calling Europe to don't interfere with Israeli policy, which are the result of «our democratic process». Once again Israel and Palestine played the game of passing the buck, blaming each other and asking Europe two different irreconcilables requests: respecting the Israeli «considerations» on one hand, listening to the Palestinians claims on the other hand. Rivlin and Abbas didn't meet, they prefer conducting their diplomatic battle separately. At the end of two days, it was clear conditions are not in place to see and end for a never-ending story. Guessing about future, it is easy to imagine a future of new conflict. Abbas made it clear. «The non-existence of the State of Palestine will continue the conflict». Israeli leadership is not ready to recognize such a State. After decades the Arab-Israeli conflict is still there, and is there to stay.
