The American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, called on Monday, January 30 in Cairo, Israelis and Palestinians at the “de -escalation”, shortly before going to Jerusalem and Ramallah. This long -standing visit has taken a different turn with the new spiral of violence. “We call on all games in calm and to appease tensions,” said Blinken at a press conference alongside his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Choukri, who pleaded for “a just solution” to the Israeli conflict- Palestinian.
Egypt is regularly requested to intervene in the Palestinian issue: neighboring state of the Gaza Strip and the first Arab country to have signed peace with Israel, it receives Israeli heads of government as much as Palestinian leaders. Again, Cairo assured that “Egypt has led efforts in recent days to try to control the outbreak of tensions”.
the fear of the gear
Dead Palestinian as Israeli are increasing in recent days: attacks, shootings, air raids and punitive measures are responded despite international calls for restraint. In the wake of anti-Israeli attacks, the government of Benyamin Netanyahu, the most right of the history of Israel, announced measures aimed at punishing relatives of the authors of attacks.
Sunday, the Israeli forces have sewn the family house of a Palestinian who killed six Israelis and an Ukrainian on Friday in East Jerusalem, the Palestinian part of the Holy City occupied by Israel, with a view to destroy. The house of a Palestinian who injured two Israelis on Saturday, also in East Jerusalem, was also to be sealed. Israeli guards killed a Palestinian on Sunday in the West Bank, Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967. On Monday, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian in Hebron, in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian authorities.
Anti-Israeli attacks took place after a deadliest Israeli raid for years in the West Bank with ten Palestinians killed in Jenine, followed by Gaza rocket fire to Israel and Israeli reprisal strikes.
These violence raises fears of a new gear and Mr. Blinken must repeat the American call for restraint on Monday with Mr. Netanyahu and then to the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas. Washington condemned a “appalling” attack in East Jerusalem.
In private, American officials do not hide their frustration in the face of climbing and the dead end in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is located. According to analysts, Washington mainly tries to reconnect with Mr. Netanyahu, whose new government is the most right in the history of Israel. Managers have recently succeeded in Jerusalem and some experts mention a possible visit to the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House in February.
