LEBANON AND GAZA, TWO DIFFERENT CASES


Finally, the pressure exerted on Israel by the United States and France has led the Jewish Prime Minister, Netanyahu, to accept the peace and ceasefire plan jointly prepared by Presidents Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron.


Israeli forces will leave Lebanon within 60 days and their positions will be progressively occupied by the Lebanese army. Hezbollah, for its part, will withdraw up to 30 km from the border.


By attacking Lebanon, under the excuse of terrorism, Israel violated the integrity of a member country of the United Nations. In other words, it carried out an act of aggression against an independent nation, also violating the resolution of the UN General Security Council ordering the withdrawal of the Jewish state from a country unjustly attacked.


The case is different in Gaza. Lebanon is an independent country. Gaza is an autonomous territory that is not protected by a country. Even the Palestinian National Authority has no authority over the Palestinian enclave.


Israel has therefore attacked a territory, not a country, since October 8. And in this context of the differences between the two cases, the Jewish forces have carried out a genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza that is still ongoing, as well as war crimes. In Lebanon, the IDF aggression has caused 3,800 deaths. In Gaza, the death toll exceeds 43,000.


When Israel attacked Lebanon, it was surprising that, given the fraternal conditions existing between that country and France, Macron did not immediately react against the Jewish state and, in particular, against Prime Minister Netanyahu.


Finally, Macron and Biden established a peace plan and forced Netanyahu to accept it. France will make a gesture to Netanyahu by allowing him impunity against the decision to arrest him if he enters one of the 124 countries that support the Independent Criminal Court. A position stated by the statement of Jean-Noël Barrot, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the fact that the Israeli Prime Minister, accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, could finally benefit from the "immunity" granted to him in Israel, a country that is not a signatory to the Rome Statute. In short, a diplomatic concession from Paris.

A "deal" confirmed by Israel, which assures that Paris gave in to the Israelis, in order to integrate the international committee supervising this agreement. According to an Israeli diplomatic source, "if the French had not made this concession, (the Israelis would) not have included them in the ceasefire agreement."
