March 4, 2025 (EIRNS)—The article with that title, written by Hussein Askary, Vice-Chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX) and Schiller Institute researcher, was published today in Arabic in Oman’s economic daily, Al-Roya, and then picked up from Al-Roya on the Omani News page of the Bahrain-based news website, Sharquakhbar.
The same article had been published the day before by the Lebanese think tank, the Center for Asian and China Studies.
Published in the region as the Arab League Summit convened in Cairo to discuss Egypt’s proposed plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, Askary’s article contributes to that reconstruction discussion by putting “forward a set of ideas within what we call the `Oasis Plan,’ an idea launched by the late American economist Lyndon LaRouche in the 1970s, and based on the concept of `peace through development,’ where there is no peace without development and no development without peace, and where the two issues must proceed in parallel.
“This did not happen in the Oslo Accords, where the economic decisions in the third and fourth annexes were neglected, even if they were insufficient, and the focus was on political solutions only,” Askary notes. “This is what prompted LaRouche to predict the failure of the Oslo Accords and to warn of the role of the extreme Israeli right and its supporters from the Christian Zionist movements in the United States and Britain in destroying any foundations for peace and assassinating and imprisoning its advocates on both sides,” he wrote.
Askary’s article was published in English in the Feb. 28, 2025 issue of EIR.
