Explanation (6)13 The lack of a comprehensive national strategy and the national preoccupation with the Oslo illusion and the ‘peace process’, within the context of a complete imbalance of power, have undoubtedly entrenched the UNRWA crisis and facilitated the targeting of the Agency. Needless to say, continued focus by Palestinian leadership on the negotiating table to achieve a political solution is not realistic, neither in the short-term or the long-term. More than 25 years after Oslo, it has been demonstrated that a political solution devoid of rights will not achieve justice, peace or sustainability. Logically, a durable and just solution needs to address the root causes (the ongoing forced displacement and transfer of the Palestinian people), through reparations (voluntary repatriation, property restitution and compensation for the over 8 million Palestinian refugees and IDPs) rather than management of the status quo. This necessarily requires an integrated political and grassroots action in the face of the large-scale attack on fundamental Palestinian national rights. An approach that involves mere reactions and seasonal initiatives is incapable of confronting the US-Israeli strategy, which seeks to liquidate the question of Palestine and Palestinian rights. Confronting this attack demands strategic action that can be built upon through the lobbying of pro-Palestinian states and influencing international public opinion, as well as by mobilising the Palestinian people. 13 Ibid. 17
