The Israeli scene
7/7/2025–|Last update: 18:57 (Mecca time)
Suddenly, without clear introductions, the American Wall Street Journal published a report of 5 sheikhs from Jabal Hebron who want to create the “Emirate of Hebron” in agreement with the Israeli right, in a move against the Palestinian Authority. Immediately, some Palestinian affairs followers rumored estimates of the transfer of the phenomenon of “Abu Shabab” from Gaza to West Bank Without hinting to the marginalization of these “sheikhs” on the one hand, and even without linking the report with the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington On the same day. There is no less important than that the fact that Netanyahu intends to lead invitations to link multiple issues, not only about the fate of the ruling in the Gaza Strip, but also to pay the demands of imposing Israeli sovereignty on large areas of West Bank.
Immediately after the report spread and grabbed the Israeli media, and its news was popular in the Palestinian circles, these ideas were condemned, and it was absolved of their owners, the Palestinian tribal leaderships, not only from the Al -Jabari family, but also included the leaders of other clans in Jabal Al -Khalil. As all these leaders stressed that they are an integral part of the Palestinian national fabric, and aspires to everyone to establish an independent Palestinian state that achieves national aspirations. Many have also understood the motives for publishing this report, and that it is not far from suggesting the existence of different ideas for a political solution, other than The two -state solution.
This invitation is led by Sheikh Wadih Al -Jabari, one of the controversial figures in Hebron, and was presented to the Israeli Minister of Economy Nir Barakat, who hosted the elders at his home, and he met them more than 10 times since last February, as they ask him to refer the message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and they are waiting for his response. The call said: “The Emirate of Hebron will recognize the State of Israel as a national state of the Jewish people, and the State of Israel will recognize an emirate Hebron As a representative of the Arab population in the district HebronThere is talk about an economic project to operate the people of the region in Israel, as part of a kind of economic peace that Netanyahu has always called.
Ouhad Tal
It is not a coincidence that the idea will meet a member Knesset Owahah Tal, head of the bloc Zionism Religious, who said that “Palestinian patriotism is a myth, and the cultural and tribal gaps are not bridged between Arabs Nablus And Arab Ramallah Hebron. Oslo agreements have failed. It must be dismantled Palestinian Authority The terrorist, the application of Israeli sovereignty over Juda and Samaria (the Israeli term to refer to the West Bank), and to establish cooperation with the elders of the region, with the stripping of these areas of Nazi weapons and tendency. There are great opportunities awaiting us. “
It is clear that the call to create the “emirate of Hebron” is not a plant without soil, and it did not start from motives that mean the sheikhs who are denied, and not from the daughters of their ideas. The Wall Street Journal itself in its report did not hide the parties behind it, including the Speaker Likud Nir Barakat. The report referred to the two men by name and their relations with the aforementioned “sheikhs” and their ambitions in eliminating the Palestinian Authority and considering them the Palestinian state – whatever it is – a rectangular evil. The Ma’ariv newspaper and other Israeli newspapers saw this part of Israel’s attempts to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, question its future and the extent of its acceptance from the Palestinian street.
Maariv stated that the Israeli government is also holding talks with elders and other tribes throughout the West Bank, with the aim of clearly: “Show that Palestinian society is not a single entity, and that there are great differences in language, culture and identity between Hebron residents WWSEL مريمانيون And other regions. Every large city is governed by families and central tribes, with great social and political power, and can form a local leadership. “
The newspaper added that one of the possible scenarios of a comprehensive solution – in the eyes of the right – is the political recognition of local Emirates, will recognize In IsraelIn exchange for the full Israeli sovereignty over the “C” region and the uninhabited areas in the “B” region. She explained that some of those belonging to the political right in Israel see the initiative as an opportunity to dismantle Palestinian Authority Gradually, without a government vacuum or the need for regional concessions on the part of Israel.
Israeli confusion and delusional solutions
Since the occupation of the West Bank and the Strip, Israel has been refusing to acknowledge that this is an occupation, and it has turned around between the fact that it was “managed” areas at times or “disputed” other times or even “liberated areas” that were recovered from its occupants. The expression of the liberated areas is Darja on the tongues of the leaders of the Israeli right who reject the principle of the national identity of the Palestinian people, and even for other Arab peoples, due to Orientalist and Interesting considerations. Throughout the years, projects and essence plans to seize lands and decompose the Department of Palestinian Affairs. This was once in the name of job sharing with Jordan During the era of Moshe Dayan, the “Alon” project to demarcate security borders For Israel And administrative for the Palestinians. After that, solutions were presented, such as the cantons project under Israeli control, federal and Confederation projects. As soon as in 1993, the Oslo agreements – which have been completed by a transitional phase before a solution based on the existence of two entities – were reached, the entire right is recruited to thwart this agreement.
It is true that the right dominated the ruling in Israel After Isaac Rabin assassinated, but – for international considerations – he failed to cancel the Oslo agreements. Therefore, he was seeking to empty it first from the inside, in preparation for abandoning it. And almost since then, a position has decreased Palestinian AuthorityNot only in terms of relationship with Israel and the United States, but also internally. This led Netanyahu to adopt a policy of separating the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, taking advantage of Palestinian internal differences and conflicts. It was clear that Netanyahu’s policy would explode in the face, and this is what actually happened on October 7, 2023, when it was found that the continuation of the situation is from the shops, and that it is not possible to rely on the continuation of the existing situation without a political horizon for the solution.
And even after Al -Aqsa FloodThe spirit of revenge and political blindness dominated the leadership of the right in Israel, and refused even the American offers that were presented during the era of the former president جهني Through a regional solution, she was aware that Trump’s victory will achieve all her dreams. Thus, as soon as the war began on Gaza, March Israeli army Genocide policy, and the oath was delighted with the idea of displacing the Palestinians that Trump supported. But soon it turned out that the al -Bidar account is not like a field account.
The Seven Emirates Project
The Israeli right was distracted after the failure of its projects to displace the Palestinians with a plan called the “Seven Emirates Plan” by the extremist right -wing orientalist Dr. Mordechai Kedar to resolve the Israeli -Palestinian conflict. This is a former intelligence officer who has been working for a long time in Unit 8200 Affiliated with the Military Intelligence Division. Kidar is difficult to consider an actual view and creative ideas, but he is of the type of tailors who separate the dress based on the demands of its right -wing settler here.
The main points of the plan are the creation of 7 emirates- cities- home, on the basis of the main cities in West Bank (Nablus مريمانيون And Tulkram Hebron VIVITY LAUMS Wesve Ramallah), so that its purpose is to include unmanned areas to Israel. The plan talks about the establishment of a tribal and not national government, “which will allow security and prosperity for the Palestinians and Israel.” Kedar starts from an Orientalist hypothesis that believes that the Arab society in general, not only the Palestinian, is a tribal society, in which belonging and loyalty to the tribe and the clan are much stronger than belonging and loyalty to a nation or religion. Therefore, the tribes tend to rule themselves and do not accept general rule, and this explains in his view the failure of the national countries in the Arab region.
And as a Cedar does not see in the Palestinians a people gathered by aspirations, aspirations or idea. And if this indicates something, it indicates an immediate blindness, especially since the Palestinian identity is inclusive, not only for those who live on the land of Palestine, but for the Palestinians in all parts of the earth. At least since the appearance Palestine Liberation Organization The tribal identity of the Palestinians has declined a prominent decline. Rather, the tendency of the Israeli right -wing people to deal on the basis of clans and tribes, collided and always collided with a severe popular reaction. This is what we felt in the village links project in the eighties, and what we see in an attempt to make the phenomenon of “Abu Shabab” and the failure of other attempts in Gaza.
Professor David Basij – a specialist in analyzing future trends – contradicts Kedar in his basic hypothesis, and believes that the public trend in the Arab world is moving in the national direction, explaining that “the UAE is moving in the opposite direction, and it also develops nationalism.” Although it was recognized that the Arab world is moving very slowly from tribalism to nationalism and comprehensive nationalism, “the axis that is built against us is currently is the axis of comprehensive nationalism, which includes Sunnis and Shiites. They are trying to build it, and it is not yet present, but they are on the way to that.” Kidar also violates leaders of the security establishment, some of whom expressed – according to the Wall Street Journal – their concern that armed sheikhs over the region will lead to chaos, and that the clans will not be able to manage a stable government or combat terrorism effectively.
Netanyahu is awaiting
The Sheikh’s message demanded that a timetable for negotiations to join the “Abraham Conventions”, and to reach the “Adel and Salim” arrangement to replace the Oslo agreements, which they say “only brought harm, death, economic disasters and destruction.” They say that the Oslo agreements signed between Israel And the Palestine Liberation Organization, “brought us Palestinian Authority The corrupt, instead of recognizing the traditional and authentic leadership- clans. “This is also the argument of the Israeli minister Barakat that the old peace process has failed, and then” there is a need for new thinking. “He behaves with the flag of the Israeli government, and Netanyahu supports the initiative with caution, but he is waiting to see how it will develop.
Thus, there is a new Israeli maneuver in front of Trump this time to circumvent the Palestinian national identity and evade the benefits of this by seduction of “sheikhs” who do not even represent themselves – mostly – in an emirate in Hebron, which was and still is the home and castle of the Palestinian patriotism.
