The Al-Zaytouna Center for Studies and Consultations has published a research paper titled "Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Al-Aqsa Flood" by Dr. Walid Abdul-Hay, an expert in future and foresight studies.

The paper examines the stance of CELAC countries and public opinion trends regarding the "Al-Aqsa Flood." The research found that political instability in Latin American countries leads to inconsistent international policies. Left-wing regimes generally support Palestine, while right-wing regimes favor Israel. Political shifts, whether due to coups or elections, influence these countries' positions on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The paper highlights the significant influence of U.S. policies on these countries' stances towards Israel, with some aligning with the U.S. to avoid pressure. Other factors affecting Latin American and Caribbean positions include Israeli technological penetration in Latin American economies and the religious shift among Catholics towards Evangelicalism, which is more aligned with Israeli perspectives.

The study advises resistance forces to recognize the importance of this region due to the clear divide in reactions to the "Al-Aqsa Flood." It notes that left-wing influence is growing, especially in major countries, favoring the resistance. The researcher points out the political significance of actions like severing ties with Israel or supporting cases against it in international courts.

Public opinion in these countries shows strong sympathy for Palestinian suffering, surpassing that for Israel. This is reflected in surveys on President Biden's pro-Israel policies. The researcher calls for engagement with leftist forces in the region and emphasizes focusing Arab and Palestinian diplomacy on Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia due to their political and economic weight.
