Jerusalem flew off the Arab Foreign Ministers' table
At the Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Amman, speakers diagnosed Jerusalem's pains and criticized Israeli practices aimed at Judaizing the city, demanding serious international action. But the writer believes the statements will not land on Jerusalem's ground, and calls for cutting diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, giving it a three-month ultimatum to withdraw or face war.
At the Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Amman, speakers precisely diagnosed Jerusalem's conditions, pinpointed the city's pains, pointed to Israeli ambitions, spoke of the suffering of its residents under occupation, and criticized practices aimed at Judaizing it. They agreed on the need to support Jerusalem and demanded serious international action to confront illegal Israeli policies. But the writer believes the statements will not land on Jerusalem's ground, and that the speakers did not call themselves to action, though they are most entitled to do so. He proposes practical steps: cutting diplomatic relations with Israel, halting economic deals, and giving a three-month ultimatum for withdrawal from occupied territories, otherwise war. The writer criticizes Arabs for not taking concrete measures, considering that statements fly across satellite channels without offering a dose of freedom to Jerusalem.
