The DiariodelWeb.it article features an interview with journalist Franco Fracassi, who has conducted an almost decade-long investigation into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Fracassi’s research, which forms the basis of his book War on Peace, explores the complex reasons behind the ongoing conflict and identifies various groups that benefit from its perpetuation.
Fracassi argues that the difficulty in achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians is not due to a lack of will among the population, but rather to the interests of certain groups that profit from the ongoing conflict. In Palestine, groups such as Hamas and a faction of Fatah, currently ruling the West Bank, have interests in continuing the conflict. In Israel, the army, intelligence services (Mossad and Shin Bet) and the security industry play significant roles. Israel’s global security leadership, its diamond industry and control over the water resources of the Jordan River are highlighted as factors contributing to the continuation of the conflict.
In addition to Israel and Palestine, Fracassi points out that Muslim countries, including Jordan and Iran, exploit the Palestinian situation for their own gains, while Saudi Arabia and Gulf nations benefit from rising oil prices during conflicts. In the West, France and the United Kingdom have substantial relationships with Israel in nuclear security and development. In the United States, the evangelical Christian base, comprising 75 million people, strongly influences the country’s pro-Israel stance due to their religious beliefs.
Fracassi also touches on the historical connection between Israel and former Nazis, particularly Otto Skorzeny, who was employed by the Mossad. This relationship is seen as controversial given the role of the Holocaust in justifying Israel’s actions.
In summary, the article highlights the complex web of interests and ideologies that hinder peace between Israel and Palestine, suggesting that the conflict is supported by various groups for economic, political and ideological reasons.
