Israel's attack on Iran poses a threat to world peace
Israel's 77-year occupation of The State of Palestine is a history of broken promises, shattered treaties, and the gradual realisation amongst most of the world that Netanyahu and the Zionist Colony of Israel cannot be trusted and why they pose a threat to world peace.
On September 13, 1993, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat signed a Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government. This agreement could have led to peace.
Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated not long after by Yigal Amir, a Zionist, due to Rabin's role in the Oslo Accords. Zionism is an ideology not of peace but war, not peaceful co-existence but territorial expansionism. Most of the world understands this.
The breaking of the Oslo Accords and the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin should have been the definitive lesson in the futility of appeasing a Zionist regime bent on conquest and domination. Oman as always has been the peacemaker, always the principled honest broker seeking to resolve disputes through negotiation.
Nonetheless, Oman has always made it clear that it will only normalise relations with Israel when Palestinians are given their own State. In peace negotiations Israel always claim they seek peace, always the victims never the aggressors. It always claims it has the right to defend itself. But what does this mean? Where are Israel's so-called frontiers in Palestine?
The frontiers before the six-day war in 1967? The frontiers immediately after 1967? Because its frontiers change daily. Armed Israeli settlers continue to occupy more Palestinian homes and land with impunity. Following that meeting between Rabin and Arafat in 1993 Clinton brought back memories of the UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
Chamberlain returned to England from Munich in 1938 having signed the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler. Upon his arrival, he famously declared "Peace in our time," believing he had prevented war.
Chamberlain was naive. He failed to understand the true nature of Nazism. In the same way Rabin and Arafat were naive because they failed to understand the true nature of Zionism. The world has a choice.
Stop the aggressive Zionist expansionist agenda now or face the danger of World War Three. Winston Churchill made the following statement in relation to the Nazis: 'If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.' The appeasement of evil is not diplomacy but capitulation and some threats to human civilisation must be confronted. We should learn from history.

Israel's attack threat to regional stability: Oman
Muscat – Israel's unilateral attack on Iran is 'illegal, unjustifiable and a grave threat to regional stability', H E Sayyid Badr al Busaidi, Foreign Minister has said. 'I condemn it and urge the global community to come together to reject Israeli aggression and support de-escalation and diplomacy with one voice,' he wrote on X. H E Sayyid Badr also had a series of phone calls with his counterparts across the region and the globe on Saturday, as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to contain the dangerous military escalation and tensions in the region triggered by Israel's direct attacks on Iranian territory since the early hours of Friday morning, the Foreign Ministry stated. During the calls, H E Sayyid Badr emphasised the importance of halting the aggression and deterring the aggressor through peaceful means, based on international law and justice, in order to prevent further bloodshed, destruction, and loss of life, and to safeguard the security, stability, and the interests of the region and its peoples. Oman condemns Earlier on Friday, the Foreign Ministry expressed the Sultanate of Oman's strong condemnation of the brutal military aggression launched by Israel against the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which targeted sovereign facilities and caused casualties. 'Oman considers this action a dangerous and reckless escalation that constitutes a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law. It also represents unacceptable and ongoing aggressive behaviour that undermines the foundations of stability in the region,' the Foreign Ministry said. This attack comes at a highly sensitive time, as international efforts to resume nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States were intensifying. 'This clearly reveals a deliberate intent to obstruct the diplomatic process and ignite a wider conflict that will have dire consequences for regional and international peace.' While Oman held Israel responsible for the escalation and its repercussions, it called on the international community to take a clear and firm stance to halt this dangerous approach, 'which threatens to preclude diplomatic solutions and to undermine the security and stability of the region'. The Foreign Ministry reiterated Oman's firm position that 'security is not built through aggression, but rather through dialogue and peaceful means.

US-Iran talks in Muscat cancelled: Oman
By OUR CORRESPONDENT Muscat – Oman's Foreign Minister on Saturday confirmed the cancellation of talks between Iran and the US, which was to be held in Muscat on Sunday. 'The Iran-US talks scheduled to be held in Muscat this Sunday will now not take place. Diplomacy and dialogue remain the only pathway to lasting peace.' H E Sayyid Badr al Busiadi wrote on X. Earlier during the day, Iran had said that the dialogue with the US over Tehran's nuclear programme is 'meaningless' after Israel's biggest-ever military strike against it. Esmaeil Baghaei 'The other side (the US) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime (Israel) to target Iran's territory,' Iran's state media on Saturday quoted foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as saying. 'We hold the US administration responsible for the consequences of this reckless and illegal action by the Israeli regime,' he noted. While speaking to Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on Saturday, Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran, said that the continuation of indirect Iran-US talks amid 'Israel's savagery is unjustifiable'. He considered the Israeli aggression to be the result of direct US support.
