Failure of the International Community

The recent vote in the UN General Assembly in favor of the Gaza ceasefire resolution indicates a clear division in the global response to the plight of the Palestinians. Although the resolution received clear majority support, it was opposed by influential countries, including the United States. In their joint statement, the Prime Ministers of Australia, Canada and New Zealand emphasized the need for a diplomatic solution. However, instead of any concrete actions, they relied on rhetoric.

President Erdogan’s demand for reforms in the United Nations is an attempt to reflect the sentiments of Muslims at the global level. However, such repeated statements and resolutions have failed to translate into concrete action. It is obvious that the current world order favors powerful countries. It prevents meaningful intervention in the Palestinian crisis. This situation only reinforces the impression that justice is not possible through the current world order.

In response to this desperate situation, the demand for military intervention by Muslim armed forces is gaining momentum in Muslim minds. The failure of the United Nations to implement its own resolutions is creating a global vacuum, fueled by the mistrust of the current world order by two billion Muslims. In order to truly liberate Palestine from the cycle of violence and occupation imposed by the Jewish entity, there is a growing feeling that all Muslim countries must jointly mobilize their armies to protect their Muslim brothers in Gaza. The call for Muslim unity and military intervention reflects the desire to establish an Islamic world order, where justice is not only talked about, but actually practiced.
