Two topics are in the focus of the Arab media: a possible military conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as Trumps Declaration, the Golan heights, to recognize as an Israeli territory.

From the Gaza strip, a rocket is a good to get fired two weeks before the Israeli parliamentary elections on the territory of Israel. Seven people are injured. The most important question has not yet been clarified: Who is behind the shooting? Back he goes to a technical error, as Hamas has claimed? The Palestinian authority-affiliated, and thus Hamas-critical newspaper “Al-Hayat al-Jadida,” does not think so: Modern rockets, precision missiles, such as you, according to the newspaper, in the meantime, the Hamas used, in the case of the ignition of several steps, the combination of a mistake to almost completely exclude: “The allegation that it was a mistake, is ridiculous and naive.”

With the launch, Hamas will have four objectives, presumed to be in the newspaper. The first is the targeting Hamas protest movement “We want to live” in the Gaza strip through focusing on the common enemy of Israel, to dissolve; to sabotage secondly, the ongoing efforts by Egypt to mediate between Hamas and Israel; to weaken thirdly, the Netanyahu government before the elections; and, fourthly, Hamas wanted to show that she was perfectly able to make relations to Israel – though not in the sense of the suit of the newspaper. The “legitimate leadership” – meaning the Palestinian authority – “is aware of the fact that the biggest loser is the Palestinian people.”

Al-Quds: “The Main Thing, Resistance”

Another educated guess as to who could be behind the shooting of the rocket, in London, published, in the case of the Palestinians in General weighted newspaper “Al-Quds”. In your assessment, Hamas currently has no interest to let the relationship with Israel from escalating. “This is not to say, however, that the movement of ‘Islamic Jihad’ sees it as well.” The fact of the circumstance indicates that the rocket had gone in Tel Aviv and not like usual in the border regions. Important, according to the newspaper, but something else: “the fact That the Palestinian population is doing in the Gaza strip continue to have different ways of resistance, and at the same time, a lot of times the crew. The next round of Aggression by the occupying state is not the first, and you will not be the last.”

Even sharper Abdel Bari Atwan, the Palestinian formulated based editor-in-chief of the London-based much-read Internet newspaper “Rai al-Yawm”. Atwan, and which, with its harsh criticism of Israel’s never behind the mountain, welcomed the launch: “This represents the beginning of a qualitatively new era that will have an effect on the occupation state and its leadership as a shock.” Overtly, he expresses, what further development he hoped the incident: “The rocket on Tel Aviv, could drive millions of Israelis in search of safety in the Bunker. This in itself is already a large part of the victory.”

Close ties: U.S. President Donald Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Trump – “a Symbol of racists in the world”

Some of the Arab press is with a view to the Golan heights, the US President, Trump officially as part of Israel’s recognized. With this decision, and writes in Jerusalem, the Palestinian newspaper “Al-Quds”, Trump finally become “the Symbol of the racists in the world”. With her, the sheet, continuing the course he had begun with the recognition of the whole of Jerusalem as an Israeli capital.

“Al-Quds” also establishes a connection between this decision and Trumps Mexico policy: “Also, compared to Mexicans and South Americans he practiced through the decision not to build a border wall to Mexico, a hideous policy.” Donald Trump, “Al-Quds”, “refuses the rights of others to acknowledge.”

“Al-Arabi al-Jadd”: “trump’s decision endangers the global order

The London-published “Al-Arabi al-Jadeed”, which is linked to the Qatari channel “Al-Jazeera”, in its English-language edition, your views on regulatory aspects of trump’s decision. The vast majority of States of the world have responded to trump’s decision, with the note, the Golan heights were Syrian territory and it should stay that way. Unlike the US President, the newspaper writes: “even with the stroke of a pen, but the mindless out punch of a tweet has degraded to Trump one of the fundamental principles of the post-war order, namely, that no state can international change recognised borders by force.”

“The Golan heights, and a new Imperial world order?” Shreenshot from “Al-Arabi al-Jadeed”

On the other hand one could argue that the Golan heights would, in fact, under Israeli rule, because nobody had opposed the annexation by Israel, anticipates the newspaper, a frequently raised Argument to this then another. Trump’s Statement, it is mentioned, “Al-Arabi al-Jadeed” that you can now Rob the country of another state by the simple application of force. This prospect was, for many people, especially in the South of the world disastrous: “If one lives in the ‘First world’, in a economically and militarily strong country, this may not be a cause for alarm. But for those who live in precarious circumstances, where self-determination and nationality of power undermines full actors, suppressed, and opposed, is this a highly dangerous precedent.”

In Ramallah coming, and of the West Bank’s ruling “Fatah” zuneigende newspaper “Al-Ayyam” accuses the current US government to get involved for the cause of Israel: “to recognize The government of Trump is that she identifies strongly with the extreme right-wing Israeli government. She met a number of decisions, of which Netanyahu had previously only dreamed of – as Israel, Washington would have occupied and constraints, the United States now, to submit him.” Why is Trump doing this, ask the question, “Al-Ayyam” and thought the President wanted to ensure in the next elections, the support of a “Jewish Lobby”. In addition, Another suspect of driving Trump the newspaper: “a shameful racism, white Americans are applying against others.” This racism, presumed to be in the newspaper, whether it is also been the have driven the extreme right-wing terrorists from Christchurch to his crimes.
