Ibhola lingene enethini, lavalela i-Spain igila izimanga kwiNdebe yoMhlaba phakathi nokubhonga kwezihlwele e-Education City Stadium. Ngesikhathi iqembu laseMorocco libuthene ukuzothatha isithombe, abanye abadlali babungaze lesi sikhathi ngokuphephezelisa ifulegi lezwe. Kodwa bekungelinye ifulegi iqembu ebeliyibambe phambili naphakathi.
Ifulegi lasePalestine elibomvu-mhlophe-omnyama nokuluhlaza belilokhu litholakala yonke indawo ezinkundleni nasezinkundleni zebhola lapha eNdebeni yoMhlaba yokuqala yaseMpumalanga Ephakathi.
Emqhudelwaneni okhungethwe imibuzo enzima yokuthi kuyini inkulumo evumelekile nokuthi ngabe ezombusazwe zinendawo yini emicimbini yezemidlalo – iziphathimandla zaseQatar kwesinye isikhathi ziye zenqabela abalandeli nabadlali ngokufanayo ezemidlalo noma izimpawu ze-LGBTQ ezilahla uhulumeni wase-Iran – imbangela yasePalestine igxile kakhulu. esiteji.
Komunye umdlalo, umlandeli waseTunisia ugijimele enkundleni nefulegi lasePalestine emlandela ngemuva. Abalandeli beMorocan baqale ingoma besekela amaPalestine ngemva kokuba iqembu labo linqobe eleBelgium ekuqaleni komqhudelwano. Ngenkathi amasosha akwa-Israel ebulala amaPalestine amahlanu ngasekupheleni kwenyanga edlule, ama-Arabhu ezinkundleni acula “Ngemiphefumulo yethu, ngegazi lethu, sizokuhlabela wena Palestine.”
“Wonke amaqembu aseNyakatho Afrika naseMpumalanga Ephakathi enze isiqiniseko sokuthi udaba lwasePalestine lugqama kuyo yonke imidlalo,” ku-Twitter uMark Ogden, intatheli ye-ESPN.
Ukwamukela lokho kusekelwa kube wukukhombisa okunamandla ngendlela emangalisayo kwamaqembu ama-Arab eNdebeni yoMhlaba ehambisana nokucasuka. Yize i-Saudi Arabia ne-Tunisia ziphumile zombili, ukunqoba kwazo ngokulandelana kwezindawo ezinamandla i-Argentina ne-France kugqugquzele ukwanda okungajwayelekile kobumbano lwesifunda. Khonamanjalo, ngesikhathi i-Atlas Lions – okuyiqembu laziwa ngayo iMorocco – iqopha umlando njengeqembu lokuqala lama-Arab elidlulele kuma-quarterfinal eNdebe yoMhlaba, kwaqubuka imigubho esifundeni sonke nasemiphakathini ehlala kwamanye amazwe emhlabeni jikelele.
“Ukunqoba kwanoma yiliphi iqembu lama-Arab kuwukunqoba kwawo wonke ama-Arabhu,” kusho uNizar Ahmad, umhlengikazi oneminyaka engu-27 waseJordan osebenza eQatar futhi ohambele umdlalo weMorocco neCanada. “Sifana neminwe yesibhakela.”
Wafaka isandla sakhe isibhakela ukuze agcizelele iphuzu lakhe.
Ngisho nasesifundeni osekunesikhathi eside sizungeza injongo yasePalestine, ukuthululwa kwemizwelo bekulokhu kugqama.
“IMorocco, Algeria, Tunisia, bonke laba bantu basekela iPalestine,” kusho u-Amina Hazza, uthisha waseJordan osebenza eQatar. “Sibona kufanele sesekane. Uma kunqoba noma yiliphi izwe lama-Arab, iPalestine iyawina.”
“Njengamanje, abantu basePalestine bahlakazeke emhlabeni wonke,” kusho yena. “Kodwa lapha siyajabula nje ukuba ndawonye nokuhlanganyela lo muzwa.”
U-Mohammad Qadhi, waseQatar owayehamba nomngane wakhe ngasemanzini aseDoha, uthe ama-Arab athumela umyalezo emhlabeni: “Ningayikhohlwa iPalestine. Ningayizibi indaba yasePalestine.”
Imibukiso isebenze njengephikisana ne-Abraham Accords, izivumelwano zango-2020 lapho i-United Arab Emirates, i-Bahrain, i-Morocco kanye ne-Sudan ithatha isinyathelo sokulungisa ubudlelwano ne-Israel.
Njengoba zakhiwe ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwe-US, izivumelwano zazihloselwe ukuvula isigaba esisha ebudlelwaneni buka-Israyeli nomhlaba wama-Arab. Kwabanye, izivumelwano zaziwubufakazi bokuthi imbangela yasePalestine ayisenandaba nohulumeni abaningi bama-Arab, nokuthi lo mgwaqo obizwa ngokuthi umgwaqo wama-Arab – owawukhungethwe amashumi eminyaka ezingxabano, ukuvukela umbuso kanye nokuwohloka komnotho – wawunezinkinga ezicindezela kakhulu okufanele ubhekane nazo.
Okubaluleke nakakhulu, kwakufanele bakhe ukusondelana phakathi kwama-Israyeli nomakhelwane bawo abangama-Arab. Kodwa njengokuthula kuka-Israyeli emashumini eminyaka ubudala ekusebenzelaneni neJordani ne-Egypt, izivumelwano ezintsha zibonakala zihlanganise ohulumeni kuyilapho ubudlelwano phakathi kwezakhamuzi zabo buhlala buthambile.
Kunhlolovo eyanyatheliswa ngoJulayi, i-Washington Institute for Near East Policy think tank yathola ukushoda okuhlukile kokusekelwa okudumile kwe-Abraham Accords. Ngisho nase-United Arab Emirates, ngokungangabazeki iqembu lama-Arabhu elishiseka kakhulu ezivumelwaneni, ingxenye eyodwa kwezine kuphela yabaphenduli ebheke lezi zivumelwano kahle. Cishe ingxenye yabantu basePersian Gulf yaphikisana nobudlelwano bebhizinisi nezemidlalo ne-Israel ngisho nangaphandle kokujwayelekile.
Kubantu abaningi basePalestine, ukuthululwa kokusekelwa phakathi kwabalandeli eNdebeni Yomhlaba kubonakale kuwukuthethelelwa.
“Lapho kusayinwa iSivumelwano sika-Abraham, umbuzo ongunombolo 1 wonke wawubuza kithi [was] uma thina njengamaPalestine sizizwa sihlukanisiwe,” kusho uDiana Buttu, ummeli wasePalestine ozinze eHaifa, kwa-Israel. “Ama-Israyeli acabanga ukuthi umhlaba wama-Arabhu uzofika nje ngezandla ezivulekile.”
“Ngaleso sikhathi ngangithi kubo lezi yizinhlelo zokuphepha phakathi kwamazwe ahlukene. Futhi yilokho kuphela abayikho. Akukho ukuthula kwabantu.”
E-Doha, izintatheli zakwa-Israel ezibika ngeNdebe yoMhlaba bezigwenywe kakhulu. Enye intatheli, u-Raz Shechnik, osebenzela i-Yediot Aharonot yansuku zonke, uthumele amavidiyo ezingxoxo ayenazo nabalandeli abenqaba ngokuphelele ukukhuluma nesitolo sakwa-Israel. Ngesinye isikhathi, wathi, izisebenzi zakwa-Israel zazizenza abantu base-Ecuadoreans ukuze bakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wabo.
“Sizizwa sizondwa,” ebhala.
U-Ohad Hemo, intatheli ye-Channel 12 yakwa-Israel, uthe abezindaba bakwa-Israel bachithiwe “ngoba simelela ukujwayelekile.”
“Isifiso sama-Israyeli sifezekile, sasayina izivumelwano zokuthula nezifunda ezine zama-Arab,” esho engxoxweni nesikhonzi sesiteshi. “Kodwa bakhona abantu, futhi abaningi babo abathandi ukuba khona kwethu lapha.”
