[size=45]In this context, the Prime Minister’s Advisor for Transport Affairs, Nasser Al-Asadi, says, “Iraq always launches initiatives regarding the Palestinian issue, and the Prime Minister confirmed at the Arab Summit in Cairo and today as well that Iraq is the first to work toward Palestine, and that supporting them is a national duty that distinguishes Iraq.” About the Arab countries.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Asadi adds, “This initiative is not only to stir emotions, but rather it is an impetus and encouragement for everyone to be a part of it to implement it.”[/size]
[size=45]He explains, “Today two planes carrying aid left Iraq, and this is evidence that Iraq is taking the initiative, contributing and supporting, and at the same time calling on other countries to speed up the provision of food and medicine to the Palestinians.”[/size]
[size=45]He continues, “The most Iraq can do is deliver shipments to Al-Arish Airport in the Arab Republic of Egypt or to the airports designated to receive aid, and then others must deliver them safely to Palestine.”[/size]
[size=45]Advanced initiatives[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the Palestinian writer and political researcher, Farhan Alqam, says, “The Iraqi initiatives are advanced, and they are not surprising, because the shared history between Palestine and Iraq is distinct, and the graves of the Iraqi martyrs who responded to Palestine’s call in 1948 bear witness to this, and these graves that still bear witness to The entrance to the city of Jenin, which is one of the landmarks of this city that is celebrated by all Palestinians.”[/size]
[size=45]Alqam added, “The Iraqi people also faced the scourge of war and the American occupation, and know very well the meaning of occupation, siege, and the nations’ struggle against a defenseless people who have no fate.”[/size]
[size=45]He notes that “the problem is not in launching the initiative, but in the implementation by the countries encircling the Palestinians. Therefore, the initiative alone is not sufficient, rather it needs to garner support from other countries in order to receive the required attention and implementation.”[/size]
[size=45]He stresses the importance of “the Iraqi Prime Minister and the Iraqi Foreign Ministry having an active role in mobilizing support for it from the rest of the Arab countries, especially the countries that are not adjacent to Palestine, to pressure the countries bordering it, especially Egypt, to open the Rafah crossing and bring in aid and medicine without inspection and permission from Israel.”[/size]
[size=45]He continues, “The tragedy of the Palestinian people now is at the Egyptian Rafah crossing, so this initiative needs activation and pressure on Egypt specifically to open the crossing without restrictions or conditions.”[/size]
[size=45]He concluded by saying that “Iraq is able to put pressure and mobilize other countries in the region, such as Algeria, Libya, Yemen, and others, to put pressure on Egypt to open the crossing in a real way so that the materials required for the Palestinian people can enter.”[/size]
[size=45]“It may embarrass some countries.”[/size]
[size=45]In turn, the head of the Egyptian Center for Political and Legal Studies, Dr. Adel Amer, says, “Egypt’s position on the Palestinian issue is firm and will not change at all, and the humanitarian aid that comes to it from countries, including Arab countries, enters it through the Rafah port according to the timetable implemented by Israel.” “.[/size]
[size=45]Amer confirms during his speech that, “236 trucks out of 560 trucks have been brought into Gaza through the Rafah crossing so far, and Egypt is also trying to pressure Israel to bring in fuel, but the latter refuses to do so completely.”[/size]
[size=45]He points out that “Egypt very much welcomes the initiative of the Iraqi Prime Minister, because it calls on all countries to stand together with Palestine and Gaza, to bring in humanitarian aid, and that this call will embarrass some Arab countries that are neutral, because the majority of Arab countries sent aid, and Egypt announces The names of these countries are to embarrass other countries.”[/size]
