Regardless of the obstacles currently blocking the way to peace, certainly just peace is the optimum choice that all peoples of the region without exception must be aligned to. Today we are, more than ever, in need to reiterate this commitment on the light of the grave developments that threaten to blow up the Middle East peace process. These are represented in the unjustifiable grave military escalation by the government of Israel, encompassing not only the policy of repression, and of genocide, seige and starvation launched by the Israeli army against the Palestinian people, but also the armed aggression against Lebanon and Syria concomitant with war cries and threats. This belligerent conduct implies grave risks to all peoples of the region including that of Israel and jeopardizes security and stability of the whole region, for violence begets nothing but counter violence nor will it lead to sustained security or stability for the Israelis themselves. The use of war and means of repression, annexation of others territories by force of arms and disregard for the legitimate rights of owners of the land will never lead to any military or political gains.
History shows that use of force has never put an end to a dispute or a conflict.
Brothers and Sisters, Peace is the life buoy for all as well as the only way to provide security and stability for the peoples of the region. Hence, Israel is required to give up the policy of threat and aggression, halt military hostilities and lift seige imposed on the Palestinian people to bring things back to normal as they were before the outbreak of Intifada of Al-Aqsa on last September 28 as a reaction to the Israeli provocation. Brothers and Sisters, Abandoning all forms of violence, terrorism and threatening others security is the optimum means to realize security and stability sought by the peoples of the region. This will block the road to all manifestations of violence, extremism and terrorism. Consequently, it is futile to waste time and efforts in reckless and useless manoeuvres and adventures.
