National dialogue is like a car that does not move and an airplane that does not fly

Writer: Editor-in-Chief / Dr. Nasser Al-Laham

Leadership is a vision, and the vision is a creative and positive strategic thought, not a wild adventure or a utopian experiment. The solution must be exclusively for the public good, and the public good requires new, acceptable and effective leaderships that are connected to the people and have general solutions, not for them to be the problem.

The national dialogue that took place in Cairo neither succeeded nor failed. This appears to be neither innocent nor positive, and none of the forces participating in the dialogue say that it failed, nor do any of them say that it succeeded... and manipulating terminology is a skill that some Palestinian leaders are good at. I no longer hesitate to say that Egypt was more keen on Palestinian unity than the Palestinians themselves!!

And as usual. Whenever a committee is formed to solve a problem, the committee becomes the problem more than the original problem itself. It seemed to me that the senior leaders who participated in the dialogue were flawless and were among the great national figures accepted by the organizations. I even noticed that there was no disagreement among them regarding the vision of the solution, whether the Fatah delegation, Hamas, or Dahlan. They all wanted to succeed this time, and there were hardly any significant differences. But there is a force that prevents them from reaching a final agreement. A force that sabotages any possible agreement, a force that benefits from failure, a party that plays with the country and the organizations and has succeeded in making fun of all the capabilities and efforts made, because any success and any progress will lead to its demise and decline.

Because I do not believe that illusions can build nations. The only solution in such a situation is not to agree and declare the lack of success of the national dialogue, but rather to go immediately to the election fund, and the fund is the alternative to agreement. If there had been a national agreement and a successful dialogue, the overwhelming desire to hold fateful and immediate elections would not have arisen.

The power that benefits from division, the absence of democracy, and the status quo prevents the success of the national dialogue and itself prevents the immediate going to elections. But it is “malicious” and does not want to announce the failure of the national dialogue. Rather, you say like every time: The national dialogue is progressing and has not failed, so you continue to buy time and stay in positions that they do not deserve and in which they do not succeed.
