The Decision of the Iraqi Parliament and the Criminalization of Normalization with Israel from the Perspective of International Covenants

Abstract

Arab countries, especially Gulf Arab countries, tend to normalize relations with Israel for various internal and external reasons until the Palestinian issue is just resolved. These regimes believe that normalization with Israel will help them protect their security and bring them closer to Washington, regardless of where the Palestinians and their people stand on normalization, knowing that Arab opinion still overwhelmingly refuses to recognize it Israel. Some countries relations with Israel expanded to the point of alliance before the establishment of diplomatic relations; what makes normalization impossible to describe, but due to the extreme sensitivity of Arab public opinion, the focus remains on steps to normalize relations. Clearly, this position has not been influenced by concerns and issues within the Arab people. Relations with Israel depend on the calculations of the regime, not the people. In addition to acknowledging that Arab opinion believes that peace with Israel has not brought prosperity to the people of the Arab countries that signed the agreement, and that such peace is one of the reasons for the suspension of political reforms, the Arabs see the Palestinian issue as the ultimate colonial issue and an Arab national issue. change it.
