What Israel did yesterday shows political stupidity and the lack of the simplest alphabets of diplomacy by attacking a state mediating to end the war and return the prisoners, namely Qatar.

Israel has put its partner the United States in a great predicament, and has closed any window on the political horizon for any possible solutions to reach any agreement to end the war and spare the region from any new slides into the unknown.
What does it mean to hit Qatar?
Striking Qatar has serious consequences in the future, and we will mention some of them.
First:the countries of the Middle East region have lost confidence in the United States and the guarantees it provides for the future.
Secondly, the Arab and regional countries will not accept any diplomatic mediation in the future to resolve any dispute in the region that arises with Israel, even if the United States requests it.
Third, the United States will now be at the forefront and will play the role of mediator with more complex guarantees that do not serve the Israeli or the US interests.
Fourth: Israel has become almost isolated from the world after the loss of global confidence in its diplomacy, its violation of international laws and norms in the past, as well as its non-compliance with the International Criminal Court, and this in itself will lead it into long-term suffering.
Fifth: there has become a great conviction among all Arab countries, especially the gulf, that it is impossible to guarantee the conclusion of any agreement with Israel, whether political or economic, but all previous agreements, whether with neighboring countries or the Brahimi agreement with the Gulf countries, are at stake.
How do we deal with Israel?
The only guarantor in the world for Israel is the United States after the European role has faded,so the Arabs should do the following:
First :activating the Joint Arab defense between them ,and prohibiting aggression against any Arab country.
Second:the comprehensive economic boycott of Israel.
Third: diplomatic pressure on the United States to play a greater role in resolving the Palestinian issue on the basis of a two-state solution.
Fourth: the trend towards Russia and China in arming and obtaining advanced technology of air defenses and stealth sixth-generation aircraft to create a balance of power in the Middle East. Fifth: the Arab pressure for the nuclear disarmament of Israel coincided with the reduction of the Iranian nuclear program to create a nuclear-weapon-free Middle East.
Israeli ambitions in the Arab world have been revealed and no Arab country will be spared from them as long as the Arab voice and Arab action are separated.
