Palestine – Unity Government Formation

June 4, 2014

By Padmini Arhant 

Congratulations! To citizens in Palestine and Fatah as well as Hamas leaderships on the unity government headed by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah along with ministers from both political factions constituting national representation.

The bipartisanship is the preliminary step towards addressing basic to most challenging issues such as the long overdue Palestinian statehood independent from foreign occupation viz. Israeli, United States or UN forces notwithstanding any unilateral sanctions that has crippled Gaza economy and made survival nearly impossible. 

The new government face tough problems considering Israeli authorities stance on the latest development regrettably perceived as a threat to status quo.

Israel holding tax revenues from West Bank and declining to free detainees in opposition to unified Palestine is erroneous decision and could inevitably result in further isolation in the region and rest of the world.

Again Israel or anyone else rejecting Palestinian political groups peaceful merger would mean they are not in favor of harmony and amicable resolution.

Nonetheless when people in occupied territories i.e. West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem al-Quds are denied normal existence due to – 

Accelerated settlement activity,

Troops deployment with check posts,

Apartheid wall,

Demolition of locals’ homes,

Farmers olive trees burned down,

Fishermen in Gaza not allowed access and,

Last but not the least the military raid in al-Aqsa mosque including attack on worshippers and many apprehended without any formal charges…continues unabated in the absence of consequences for aggression against innocent victims in the political struggle.

Accordingly the political leaderships in Ramallah and Gaza cannot afford prolonged suffering in the besieged land.

The international recognition of the Palestinian government set up on popular will would clarify the world commitment to peace since regional stability is dependent on Palestinian freedom.

Palestinian authorities efficient governance would rely on administration function preventing corruption and remaining steadfast in providing necessities despite restraints producing shortages in food and medical supplies with Israeli blockade and military incursion.

The global support to the recently formed government in trade and commerce through economic growth oriented investments,, multilateral ties in building infrastructure and job creation would ease the burden on the suppressed economy.

Meanwhile, ending Israel’s presence and complete troop withdrawal from Palestinian domain together with freezing controversial settlement program would demonstrate global pledge towards fairness and equality. 

The consistent failure in Mideast peace process attributed to Israel and sponsor’s disingenuous involvement setting criteria while not being in compliance with same demands on Palestinian people.. 

Israel’s credibility could be restored upon honoring territorial integrity of Palestinian area and neighboring states borders constantly violated ignoring international law arguably lacking in universal enforcement.

Additionally, the unconditional release of all Palestinian detainees on hunger strike and others deprived of legal course would perhaps foster better relations with nations besides Israel’s familiar allies in the world.

Furthermore United States solemn oath to protect Israel disregarding the latter human rights record especially against Palestinian population not excluding minors as young as eleven years or under highlight the former departure from democratic principles and human values blindly surrendering to Israel’s dominance on the United States political system.

Palestinian government and political members from different platform sharing common vision with primary goal to liberate Palestine strengthening capability in every respect would enhance economic, political, humanitarian and social prospects for citizens in subjugation.

Wishing Palestinian citizens, refugees, leaderships and incumbent government success in endeavors contributing to patriotic interest.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
