Al-Hindi: We’ve received no new proposals, the West wants to Eliminate the resistance

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Al-Hindi stated that the negotiations have never been serious, not now and not in the past, because both Israel and the United States have backed away from proposals previously presented by US envoy Steve Wittkoff. He added that the Israeli military even bombed the negotiation delegation while they were discussing a proposal attributed to US President Donald Trump.

According to Al-Hindi, Wittkoff himself walked back the proposals that the resistance had already agreed to. He described the current outlook as “blocked” and said that no new ideas are being offered at this stage.

Al-Hindi also addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest statement about achieving “victory as a path to peace.” He dismissed the statement as recycled rhetoric, noting that Netanyahu has made similar claims for the past two years but failed to achieve any strategic objectives, except the destruction of Gaza and efforts to displace its people.

He went on to say that Netanyahu is attacking nearly the entire region and has bombed five Arab capitals, exposing the criminal nature of Israel to the world. Even Western allies have started describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as war crimes.

Al-Hindi argued that recent Western recognitions of a Palestinian state are a response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. He noted that the two-state solution has been on the table since the Oslo Accords in 1994 and the Arab Peace Initiative in 2002 but was never seriously embraced until now.

He described the recognitions as a diplomatic defeat for Israel, though he stressed that they are not an end in themselves. Rather, they must be part of a broader process that halts Israel’s killing, destruction, and settlement expansion.

These recognitions, he said, should also compel Western and Arab states to reassess their normalization of relations with Israel and to reconsider political, security, and economic cooperation with the occupying power.

Al-Hindi also warned that these recognitions mean little if they are not used to halt the genocide in Gaza and the accelerating settlement activity in the West Bank. “Power dynamics,” he said, “are the ultimate decider in these matters.”

He emphasized that Arab positions are even more important now, as Netanyahu bombs five Arab countries and threatens to destabilize and dominate the region. According to Al-Hindi, the problem is not just with Hamas or Islamic Jihad, it’s with anyone who resists the occupation anywhere in the region.

He added that from the first day of the war, the U.S. and the West decided to wipe out any group that resists the Western project, Israel.

Al-Hindi stressed that the horrifying scenes of genocide in Gaza are intentional. “They’re not about defeating the resistance,” he said, “but about displacing Palestinians.” He also credited the mobilization of freedom advocates across Europe with pressuring their governments to shift their positions.

He concluded by saying that recognitions of Palestine must come with concrete steps, especially in revising military, security, and economic relations with Israel, and that they must not serve merely to absorb public anger.

Finally, he stated, “These recognitions demand a real and serious reassessment by regional countries of their ties with the occupation.” He added, “Stopping the war is the true test of these positions, and the balance of power is the real arbiter.”
