A panoramic view of Jerusalem’s Old City is pictured at dawn of April 14, 2024, after Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel. – Iran launched more than 200 drones and missiles on Israel in an unprecedented attack late April 13, 2024, the Israeli army announced, in a major escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes.
However, things got to a climax on April 1, 2024 when Israel attacked the Iranian Consulate in Damascus. In that attack, 16 persons, including two Iranian Generals, Mohammed Reza Zahediand Mohammed Hadi Haji Rahimi were killed. This incident upped the stakes in the Middle East crisis currently hallmarked by the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. Iran vowed revenge and put the world on edge due to a foreseeable escalation of the tension in the region.
However, the Iranian response became the butt of solidarity for Israel. Its Western allies under the banner of G7 “unequivocally condemn in the strongest terms, Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel” in a classic case of duplicity. These countries had looked the other way when Israel attacked Iran’s diplomatic assets in Syria.
Resolution 181, the resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1947 called for the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states and placed a global seal on the Jewish home state, which was greeted by violence that resulted in the wars of 1948, 1967, 1973 and several other wars on the West Bank and Gaza. The two-state solution had been compacted but has yet to be implemented.
The time has come for geopolitics to give way to global peace and security; national interests to international interests. The rule of anarchy should not be encouraged. The call for a humanitarian cease-fire should be enforced to halt the genocide in Gaza that is offensive to international public psyche and is at the heart of the current global tension. The need to resolve the conflict on the basis of a two-state solution should be pursued with vigour.
