The script of the reactions to the death of al-Jazeera reporter Sheerin Abu Akla seems to have been written into an age-old narrative.
A blood libel is not a new story in the annals of Israel.
She was not born on Wednesday.
For the last decades we have been in this movie time and time again.
According to the script, the IDF is fighting with terrorists. During an incident, a civilian (non-Jew) or a child is killed, and the whole world attacks Israel. The immediate suspects go into action: Europeans, Arabs, Americans, and above all the foreign media And the condemnations that do not end even a century later, are also known retroactively.
But this week a new factor was added to the arena - the RAAM party. For the first time, a coalition party in Israel helped promote the blood libel. When his coffin was carried by masked men armed with assault rifles, and wrapped in a national flag. That is, Palestine. Branch of Chairman Abbas.
In fact, Abbas today acts as an independent player and promotes an independent policy that undermines the most basic interest of the State of Israel: the existence of sovereignty.
Abbas's overt activity focuses on his relationship with King Abdullah.
Last November, the two met at the palace for four hours.
The Jordanian media gave very extensive coverage of the meeting, and the tremendous exposure was a slap in the face to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
After all, the palace wanted to keep secret the news of Abdullah's meeting with Bennett last summer.
Anti-Jewish lawsuits
Allegedly, through his contacts with the king, Abbas promotes the interests of the Islamic movement in everything related to the Temple Mount, as it is difficult today to distinguish between the positions of the movement and Hamas and the position of the Jordanians in everything related to the holy site.
We saw the unity of the line during the month of Ramadan riots.
Al-Hasawana said, among other things: "I salute every Palestinian, all the workers of the Jordanian Islamic Waqf, who stand erect like turrets, throwing their stones in a clay attack against the Zionists who defile the al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli occupation government."
A week later, Mansour Abbas returned to Abdullah's palace for another four-hour meeting.
Judging by the results, during the meeting the two agreed on uniform policies whose purpose is to abolish Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
Almost immediately after Abbas' visit, the king forwarded a list of the most extreme demands for the future management of the Temple Mount to the Biden administration.
The king will discuss the lawsuits at a White House meeting. The list includes a significant number of anti-Jewish lawsuits.
For example, one lawsuit requires Jews ascending the mountain to adhere to a dress code that the Waqf will dictate to them.
Another claim requires non-Muslims to submit written requests in advance to ascend the mountain for Waqf approval.
The Waqf, according to the claims, will be the only entity authorized to allow non-Muslims to ascend the Temple Mount.
Another lawsuit places severe restrictions on the route for non-Muslims to walk the Temple Mount.
A strategic lawsuit prohibits the Israeli police from entering mosques.
Meaning: Implementation, even partial, of Abdullah-Abbas' claims erases Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
Who really controls the government
Although Israel has not yet agreed to discuss the Jordanian document, the demands are already yielding results in the political arena.
The Biden administration has announced that during the president's planned visit to Israel, he will tour Al-Muxad Hospital in East Jerusalem without Israeli escort or presence.
This means that Biden will become the first president to express support for the abolition of Israeli sovereignty over parts of its capital city.
The proximity of the publication of Jordanian Abdullah's claims to visit Abbas makes it clear that the events are interrelated.
But Abbas also made this clear unequivocally: he conditioned the continuation of Ra'am's partnership in the coalition in implementing Abdullah's claims regarding the Temple Mount. Jordan is apparently not the only political arena in which Abbas operates. Earlier this week, Yaara Zard reported on Channel 14 that Abbas Stayed for a few days in Turkey.
Although there are no details about the meetings he held in Ankara and Istanbul, as revealed by the organization "Up to Here" in a December report on the relations between the Ram and Hamas, the "Aid 48" organization of the Southern Islamic Movement, led by senior officials in the Ram, Close cooperation with organizations in Turkey that are directly and indirectly linked to the Erdogan regime and Hamas.
As for Hamas, a report "so far" revealed the ties of "Aid 48" to the Turkish al-Furqan organization affiliated with Hamas. Some al-Furqan loyalists even enlisted in the ranks of al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Together with al-Furqan, Aid 48 is setting up a village for war refugees in Syria on the Syrian side of the Turkish-Syrian border.
"Aid 48" belongs to the "Association of Non-Governmental Organizations of the Islamic World", a coalition of Islamic organizations, some of which have a direct connection to Hamas.
According to a report "so far", the association is fully coordinated with the Turkish regime.
This week, the "Securityists" organization published a survey on the state of relations between Arabs and Jews in Israel and the public's trust in the arms of law enforcement and government in the country.
Of the many alarming findings, the survey revealed that a year after the riots in Israeli mixed cities, which took place in parallel with the Hamas missile attack from Gaza and continued after it, 75 percent of Israeli Arabs do not believe in Israel's right to exist.
The RAAM's efforts to deny Israel's sovereignty on the Temple Mount are a continuation of the violent war of Israeli Arabs by other, political-security means. Unfounded.
It is now clear that the coalition's reliance on RAAM strengthens the Islamic movement in the international arena while strategically harming Israel at the heart of its sovereignty, Jerusalem, undermining its international relations with neighboring countries and the United States, and more.
