The ongoing conflict in Gaza has been a significant obstacle to peace for years. A-Safadi emphasized that the root cause of this tension was Israeli aggression against Gaza, and it was crucial to consistently inform the international community of this fact. However, Netanyahu’s strategy might involve sparking a conflict with Iran to draw the US and the West into a regional war. This move would divert attention away from Gaza and create public opinion in favor of supporting Israel against Iran.
A-Safadi urged for a renewed focus on resolving tensions caused by Israeli aggression and working towards a peaceful solution. He warned against Netanyahu’s intentions to perpetuate war and avoid accountability for his policies that aim to eliminate the Palestinians. By highlighting these issues, A-Safadi hoped to prevent Netanyahu from evading the consequences of his actions.
The statements made by A-Safadi underscore the importance of shifting the narrative away from potential conflicts with Iran back to the ongoing issues in Gaza. He called for action to address the core of the conflict and prevent Netanyahu from steering attention away from Gaza.
