In his speech on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the normalization of relations with Israel as a losing bet. This gamble can be examined from two perspectives. The first relates to countries that have pursued or are pursuing such a trend. Despite the efforts of Israel and its Western supporters, especially the United States, to downplay the Palestinian issue among Islamic societies, this matter remains sensitive and controversial for people in Islamic countries.

Extending a hand to Israel by leaders of Islamic countries is tantamount to betraying their own people. Although these countries often lack a democratic political system and people do not have much say in forming the government or shaping its policies, ignoring this public demand increases the distance between these governments and their people and is another blow to the shaky foundations of these establishments.

The political and social conditions of these countries are not such that citizens can express their objections to such policies, as it will cost them heavily. Beyond rolling out the red carpet for Israel, increasing tension and pressure in the powder keg of Islamic societies raises the likelihood of an explosion. Signing hefty arms contracts and taking security guarantees from the United States as a broker of this relationship will not help these countries in moments of internal explosion.

The second perspective relates to the situation of Israel itself. Today, Israel is facing its most severe situation since its establishment in 1948, both internally and externally. Israel's victories in numerous wars against Arabs have portrayed its army as unbeatable. However, this illusion did not last long. With the emergence of the Resistance Axis in the region and the regime's conflicts and wars with this axis - especially in Lebanon and Gaza - the fragility of this power became apparent. A regime that once dreamed of reaching from the Nile to the Euphrates is now walled off and not safe within its own cage.

Palestinians, especially the younger generation, understand that the key to realizing their fundamental and human rights is not in symbolic peace negotiations and agreements. Their real key lies in resistance. They have brought the battle to the heart of the occupied territories and cast the shadow of fear over these lands.

Another point is the political and social situation within Israel itself. This situation is such that some analysts and officials of this regime have warned that these challenges will lead to the collapse of Israel. One of the main motivations for Netanyahu's government to pursue normalization with Muslim countries is to escape from this dangerous internal situation.

The next issue is related to the relative awakening of the world about the nature of Israel. The introduction and recognition of Israel as an apartheid regime is expanding. This trend is irreversible and will have serious consequences for this regime.

All of these realities show that normalization with this regime is nothing but a losing bet, and gamblers will pay the ultimate price for this miscalculation. The shameful act towards the Palestinian people and their own people is almost insignificant compared to the final heavy toll.
