Sharjah-based Al Khaleej newspaper says that the Israeli army is not part of state institutions like other armies in the world, but it is itself the state! The racist entity was mainly based on crimes and massacres committed by Haganah, Aragon and Stern Zionist gangs. This barbaric approach is still embraced by the army of the racist Zionist entity, which commits daily killings of Palestinians, confiscates their lands and uproots their olive trees. These crimes are countless, the latest of which was the dragging of a 26-year-old man and shooting him to death in Jericho a few days ago.

These crimes become an ordinary practice that is deeply rooted in the philosophy of the Israeli army as a doctrine. This army will not hesitate to carry out ethnic cleansing if necessary. There are Israeli academics who exposed these crimes like professor Danial Altmann who wrote in Haaretz: “The army carries out war crimes and crimes against humanity. Most of the perpetrators are not brought to justice.”

Oman’s Al Watan newspaper said the Israeli occupation entity has recently increased the pace of its crimes against the Palestinian people in its attempt to propel the Palestinians towards accepting ‘Deal of the Century’. This approach is adopted by Washington and some regional parties, despite its rejection by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

On the ground, the occupation entity continues its policy of extrajudicial executions. Dozens of Palestinians were deliberately shot at, despite posing no imminent threat to life, in what appear to be extrajudicial executions. In a recent incident, the Israeli army shot dead Mohammad Zein Al Ja’bari in the West Bank city of Hebron, although he was hearing-impaired and posed no clear threat to anyone. Palestinians are facing Israel’s escalating violence (even as international peaceful campaigns and domestic protests grow) and they often have to face massacres and crimes at the hands of Israeli occupiers. The silence of the United Nations has reached the highest level of collusion, allowing Israel, which has committed war crimes, to organise an exhibition on occupied Jerusalem at the UN headquarters in New York!

Palestine’s Al Quds newspaper believes that Israel’s escalation against the Palestinians is a hidden message that coexistence is impossible between the Palestinian people and Israelis. Despite peace accords signed by the occupiers with Jordan, Egypt and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), the Zionist estate has time and again misused the religion of Judaism and its holy book Torah as a pretext to carry out the most dreadful crimes against Palestinians.

However, no matter how long this occupation lasts, the Palestinians will regain their rights eventually. Occupiers will finally leave. This is the norm, the newspaper said.

Jordanian Ad-Dustour newspaper says that massacres committed by Zionist criminal gangs continue against Palestinians in a systematic way since the occupation of Palestine in 1948. Since then, Israel practises its policy of expansion and elimination of the real owners of Palestine. However, the Palestinians never ceased their legitimate struggle and resistance to regain their rights and establish their independent state as well as the right of refugees to return to their homeland.
