Palestine’s Foreign Minister Dr. Warsen Agabekian Shaheen, who is visiting India, has expressed hope that Palestine will soon be free from Israeli occupation. Not only will peace be restored there but Gaza will also be rebuilt.
In a special conversation with ABP News, Dr. Shaheen said that as long as Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel, he does not have much hope from Israel because he has repeatedly said that he will continue to occupy Palestine. On Donald Trump’s peace proposal, Dr Shaheen also said that he hopes from Trump that he will be able to restore peace in Palestine and for this he will also put pressure on Israel.
What are the expectations from India? Palestine minister told
When Dr. Shaheen was asked what his expectations were from India, he said that India and Palestine have a very old relationship which has been going on since 1947. India has been one of the first countries which has recognized Palestine and India is a friend of Palestine as well as Israel, so only one friend can persuade the third friend to help by talking to another friend and this is our expectation from India.
Dr. Shaheen, who came to India for special talks with the ministers of Arab countries, said that no solution will be found in this conversation with the ministers of Arab countries in India, but we will definitely be able to talk about what the Arab countries should do for Palestine. What should happen in the future in Gaza? This meeting is important for us so that we can garner support for ourselves from all sides.
What did the Palestinian Foreign Minister say on PM Modi’s visit to Israel?
This visit of Dr. Shaheen to India is also important in the context that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to visit Israel soon. In such a situation, when the Foreign Minister of Palestine was asked what other expectations Palestine has from India, she said that India can play a big role in this because India is a friend of Israel and a friend of Palestine too and can give suggestions as per the need. India has always been in favor of democracy, human rights and international laws, and we expect India to recognize the country’s theory.
Netanyahu-Trump’s influence on Israel: Shaheen
When the Foreign Minister was asked about Donald Trump’s peace talks, he said that there are expectations from Trump only because Netanyahu has told the whole world that he will officially occupy the West Bank. Trump has just done what no one has been able to do before him. We know that Trump has a good influence on both Netanyahu and Israel and he can make Israel agree to peace.
What did Dr. Shaheen say on the protests in Iran?
On the ongoing protests and slogans being raised in Iran, Palestine’s Foreign Minister said that Iran is an independent country and the people there will decide in which direction Iran should go. Our goal is Palestine and as a Palestinian I want Palestine to be free. Therefore, we will continue to raise such a voice which is the path of peace.
What did the Palestinian minister say on Hamas?
Will Hamas allow peace to be established? Will Hamas give up its weapons, which was talked about in this peace agreement and will the people of Palestine stop supporting Hamas, because Netanyahu makes the same allegations again and again and India also sees Hamas as a terrorist organization. In response to this question, the Palestinian Foreign Minister said that everyone will have to accept this peace agreement. Both Israel and Hamas. Not every citizen of Palestine is a supporter of Hamas. Yes, emotionally some people may be with Hamas, because what should people do when our voice is not heard peacefully. India also adopted the path of non-violence and armed struggle during independence.
We are supporters of peace, not violence of Hamas: Dr. Shaheen
Palestine’s official line is non-violence. We have been following the path of non-violence since 1988, but something must be achieved through non-violence. If nothing is achieved then questions definitely arise. Yes. If Hamas wants to join the political scene of Palestine, they will have to join PLO. Because PLO means peace. We are supporters of peace, not the violence of Hamas.
What did Shaheen say on Priyanka Gandhi’s Palestinian bag?
When Palestine’s Foreign Minister was asked about Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s Palestine bag, she said that we too are saying that Palestine has to be independent. And I would like to say that more people should talk about the independence of Palestine and India can play a big role in this.
