The Israeli delegation will submit a formal protest to the UN Security Council for the accident on Sunday on the borders with Lebanon and Syria. According to the Israeli military radio said the government intends to accuse the two countries had violated international resolutions and allowed Palestinian protesters cross the border.
The request of the Jewish state is the antithesis of the one already presented by the UN representative in Lebanon, accusing Israel instead of having violated international law and demand an investigation to determine the facts that occurred near the village of Marun A-Ras: the second Lebanon, ten people were killed and 112 were injured when Israeli troops opened fire to stop the protest of hundreds of Palestinian exiles who had stormed the border to commemorate the Nakba, the catastrophe, which leads to flight tens of thousands of Palestinians from the territory that in 1948 the UN gave the new Jewish state.
Most recent studies of Israeli historians like Ilan Pappe have shown that the then government of Tel Aviv used the war unleashed by the neighboring Arab countries, who had accepted the partition of historic Palestine, as a pretext for a policy of ethnic cleansing. The effect is the millions of Palestinians living in refugee camps scattered throughout the Middle East, from Lebanon to Iraq.
The protest on Sunday, once again, took Tel Aviv with the low guard. According to the Israeli website Debka writes, it took several hours before the Israeli army reacted to the protest on the Syrian border, where hundreds of people have managed to cross the border and to "occupy" (or "free") the village of Majd Al Shams in the Golan, captured by Israeli forces after the Six Day War in 1967.
Debka says that even people who have entered in Majd al Shams were not removed by Israeli soldiers but by the intervention of local leaders of the Druze community, even if, during clashes between troops and protesters there were at least two deaths. For four hours, from 13.30 to 17.30 local time, Palestinian and Syrian flags waved in the square of Majd al Shams.
The government of Tel Aviv is running for cover, strengthening the military presence around the border with Syria and Lebanon, and from Cairo came the news of a protest last night in front of the Israeli Embassy. Hundreds of people gathered to commemorate the Nakba and demand an end to occupation of Palestinian territories.
Egyptian police intervened with tear gas and rubber bullets when a group of protesters tried to force the gates of the embassy. At least twenty people were arrested and dozens were wounded. That a Middle East already upset by the Arab riots of spring tension is rapidly climbing the show which also communicated with the Lebanese army has announced a state of high alert and the words of Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
In an interview with broadcaster Channel 2, Barak said that "Israel must be ready for even the most complex challenges of the incidents on Sunday." Whose responsibility, according to Barak, falls entirely on demonstrators who have violated the borders of Israel "and those who sent them, if any." And as part of the Israeli media pointed the finger at the regime in Damascus, the Lebanese Islamist party Hezbollah and Iran, given the hidden manipulator, from the pages of the liberal daily Ha'aretz, Zvi Bar'el the analyst notes that both Assad that Hezbollah has always sought to contain the protest by Palestinian "limits" that was not causing a harsh Israeli reaction.
And that is that the Lebanese army as the Syrian (involved in the repression of the protests against the regime) appear to have been taken by surprise, not least of IDF. In essence, the lamp of the Middle East in turmoil, could come out a genius Palestinian tamer by the will of the Arab regimes, or even from that of the Palestinian political elite, just the beginning of their internal peace process after the agreement signed in Cairo a few days ago.
