SOUTH LEBANON — The process of handing over Palestinian weapons in Lebanon camps is scheduled to begin in mid-June after an agreement was reached between Lebanese officials and Palestinian authorities President Mahmoud Abbas during a visit to Beirut.
The disarmament process reportedly begins in the Beirut camp, but it is clear that most Palestinian resistance, including leaders of the Fatah movement, are not yet ready to abandon their arms.
After nearly a decade of Palestinian authority focused on coordination with the occupying forces, the Fatah movement witnessed a series of divisions that influenced the Palestinians both within and outside Lebanon.
Fatah’s appearance confirmed to the Tehran Times that handing over the weapons was illogical without reaching an understanding with Lebanese authorities about the future of camp at several levels.
Civil sources confirmed that in the Tehran era, Abbas had better suited to regulate weapons, rather than handing over, but instead of imposing fait accomplices that would only serve the interests of Israeli enemies, but rather than coordinating in advance with other factions.
Sources did not hide their concerns over a pre-planned instigation between the Palestinian factions and the Lebanese army.
In an interview with the Tehran Times, sources warned that there is no guarantee that suspects and those paid for it will not drag the Army into the bloody bands within the camp, as previously happened at Nahr Al-Bared in northern Lebanon.
President Joseph Own confirmed with Abbas that the Army had no intention of entering camp and did not want to clash with anyone. Instead, you need to seek another way to solve the problem.
In the early 1990s, after the end of the Lebanon civil war, the Palestinian issue entered a new phase. Fatah was supported by Hezbollah, not the sole faction controlling Palestinian decision-making, particularly in light of Hamas and the rise of Islamic jihad, but was supported by Hezbollah and in addition to sponsoring Jamaat Islamiya, the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sources pointed out that the war is not over yet and that both the Lebanese and the Palestinian Resistance Front have not surrendered. Therefore, the Palestinians refuse to treat Germany as post-World War II.
In light of Palestinian divisions, camp refugees suffer from a double-edged dilemma. (1) Unrecognized civil rights in Lebanon. (2) Unstable security situation within the camp.
Since 1948, Christian right-wing forces have taken camps out of their most basic human rights and services, relocating most of the Palestinian refugees to the west.
Some of the wealthy people were able to live outside the camp. As a result, some of these weapons are merely remaining victims of misery, unemployment, and sectarian fanatics supported by well-known external parties, which are used to settle.
Other stages saw dubious pressures as some forces exploited the refugee issue and insisted on recognizing their full civil rights and Lebanese citizenship, a highly controversial issue in Lebanon.
No doubt, no one in Lebanon wants to disarm Palestinian camps not just to improve the situation for refugees, but also to effectively fulfill Israel’s desire to achieve American and Saudi Arabia’s goals and annihilate any demographics that could threaten any future suspected security.
Since the Al-Aqsa flooding project, the security doctrine of Israeli colonial organizations is based on eradicating small threats that could grow over the years.
What Israel wants is essentially in line with what Mahmoud Abbas has publicly stated, as he opposes all sorts of armed resistance to Palestine’s internal and external occupation.
Given this, it is not surprising that Abbas tries to involve President AON, who has shown clear political rationality when approaching sensitive issues.
In 1991, the Lebanese Commission was established to negotiate with the Palestinian factions. It was agreed to hand over arms in exchange for recognizing the civil and human rights of refugees. Heavy and medium weapons were actually handed over at Sidon and Tire camp.
Nevertheless, when the handover process was completed, the committee refused to reunite with the Palestinian representatives and was not granted the right.
This disappointing experience prompted the Tehran Times to emphasize that President AON must quickly launch a dialogue with Lebanon’s Palestinian Commission on Action (including 20 factions) and address all humanitarian, social, political, legal and security concerns.
Sources warned against the burden of the Lebanese state’s heavy duty as UNRWA is exempt from its obligations to around 400,000 refugees.
Finally, Palestinian sources repeated his claim that Palestinians support arms restrictions, warning them of submission to malicious American orders that are only interested in maintaining the interests of Israeli enemies.
