Organization of Islamic Cooperation Meeting A Test for Islamic States in Defense of the Palestinian Nation

2020/02/03 | interview, Politics, Top News

Strategic Council Online: University of Tehran faculty member on Palestinian Studies called the meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation a test for Islamic governments in defence of the Palestinian nation. Referring to the impact of the conference on the stances and actions of the United States and Israel, he said if a strong and effective statement is issued by the OIC it would undoubtedly mean the emergence of a new force in the Middle East and Arab-Islamic countries and among Palestinian supporters.

In an interview with the website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Mojtaba Rahmandoust pointed to the final statement of the Arab League and urging the international community to counter any Israeli efforts to implement the scheme. It seems the Arab League has abandoned its previous weak and inferior stance and adopted a strong position concerning this scheme.

He said the Israeli media assessed the Arab League’s strong opposition to the Deal of the Century a terrible blow to US diplomacy, adding that the Arab League reaction against the US at this point was positive. “The Organization of Islamic Cooperation must also take similar stands, in which case it would be a step forward in the world.”

Former Secretary-General of the Association for the Defense of the Palestinian Nation said the stances taken by Abu Mazen, the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation were very important in rejecting the Deal of the Century. “This alignment is a new phenomenon that we have not seen before.”

Rahmandoust stressed that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was created to support Quds but it adopted weak and passive stances against catastrophes caused for Quds. He added if they were united and had a unified position in opposition to the fundamentals of the US and Israel we can consider it a point of hope for the future.

Reminding that the nature of Mahmoud Abbas has been clear throughout his tenure in the PA, he stressed that one should be aware of Abu Mazen’s positions.

My impression is now that he sympathizes with Hamas, Jihad and Resistance and talks about rejecting the Deal of the Century, one should deal with it cautiously.

I believe the United States has a plan to absorb Resistance groups such as Hamas and Jihad and has laid a trap to attract groups via Mahmoud Abbas. As we noticed, Abbas had been called by the US for consultations.

“There is concern that the Resistance will fall into the trap and that grounds for their deviation would be prepared due to accordance of Abbas with the Resistance forces,” said the faculty member with the University of Tehran.

He wants to support but I believe this backing is not profound and not believable and may be deceptive.

He explained: There is a strategy that if a group wants to resume talks with its opponents, it will deal a blow on the opponent so that grounds would be paved to restart the dialogue.

Rahmandoust emphasized: Islamic countries should act cautiously on these projects by examining the different aspects of the American-Israeli Deal of the Century.

The Inseparability of the Lebanese Front from the Axis of Resistance

SCFR Online–Opinion: By providing an extensive network of social, healthcare, educational, and post-war reconstruction services, Hezbollah has established a strong social base for itself among Lebanon’s Shiites and Sunnis, and even beyond that, among other segments of Lebanese society, including Christians. Hezbollah has never been an external actor imposed upon Lebanon; rather, it is a phenomenon fundamentally born out of the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime and itself influenced by popular resistance.

The Increasing Efforts of the Zionist Regime to Redefine Borders and the Regional Order and Its Consequences

SCFR Online– Opinion: Security and military developments in the region over recent months indicate that the ongoing crises and wars in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syrian territory encompass broader dimensions of geopolitical and geostrategic transformations. In this context, the increased military presence and control of the Zionist regime over parts of the territories of these areas, along with proposals regarding the creation of buffer zones or even the expansion of security borders, have raised serious questions about the future of the regional order and its consequences for the countries of West Asia.

The Components of Iran’s Deterrence Power

SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.

The Persian Gulf; A Cold Battlefield Between Beijing and Washington

SCFR Online – Opinion: The competition in recent years between the United States and China encompasses various geographical regions—including the Indo-Pacific, West Asia, the Arctic and Antarctic, and Africa—as well as multiple domains such as economics and technology. Within this context, a strategic competition has also emerged in the Persian Gulf region across economic, technological, and military spheres.

Europe’s Enduring Dependence on Persian Gulf Energy

SCFR Online – Opinion: The dominant discourse in the field of European energy security over the past two decades has revolved around diversification of supply sources and the gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. This narrative, which gained particular momentum after the Ukraine gas crisis in 2006 and its intensification in 2014 and 2022, was based on the assumption that Europe could free itself from the geopolitical vulnerabilities arising from dependence on specific suppliers through investment in renewable energy, imports of liquefied natural gas from diversified sources, and the establishment of new infrastructure. However, a closer analysis of energy trade data and the structure of the global oil and gas supply chain presents a different picture. Europe has not only failed to meaningfully reduce its dependence on the Persian Gulf, but in some sectors — particularly in liquefied natural gas imports — this dependence has deepened. This reality, which is often overlooked in public discourse, raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Europe’s energy security strategies and their impact on regional power equations.
