Palestinian officials made it clear today that their outreach campaign, seeking recognition from various UN agencies, is their primary focus now that the peace talks have officially ended with today’s deadline, but they held out hope for new talks.
Palestinian leaders signed the Geneva Convention earlier this month and sent out feelers to several agencies when it became clear the talks were over, and the Abbas government says the thinking is that, in the absence of direct talks, they want to make Israel’s occupation of Palestine diplomatically costly.
Israel, of course, rails at every UN recognition the Palestinians receive, and is heavily sanctioning Palestinian towns for even broaching the subject. The US, likewise, has condemned UN recognition as “unhelpful” and Congress often threatens to defund agencies that offer the Palestinians any sort of recognition.
Palestinian officials say they are ready to resume talks with Israel at any time, on the condition that Israel release the detainees they reneged on last month, and freeze settlement expansions for the duration of the negotiations. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also said any agreement with Israel would require actual, real borders, and that the PA wouldn’t accept any more deals without laying out where the borders will ultimately be.
Recognize your terrorist master, the state of Israel, but don't you dare try to become a state yourself.
How does anyone listen to the USA?
Oh, yeah. Propaganda.
…and American taxpayer supplied money.
…..And supported by a broad spectrum of the American public.
For the peace between Israel and Palestinians to materialize, there are two options left for the wold to act upon. 1- for Palestinians to be recognized by UN as a nation without a country whereby all and every forceable actions needs to be implemented for Israel to retreat to its 1967 border, that will give back the stolen Palestinians land whereby Palestinians can have their state. 2- history have shown that Israel wants to become the Mecca of Jewish people' which therefore Israel demanding Arab nations to accept their delusional idea naming the Israel a Jewish state, even then Israel will fool everyone by falsifying a religious document proposing that Jordan is part of that Jewish state and later Lebanon and etc. Therefore, as long as USG and EU governing body supporting Israel politically, morally, economically Israel sees it as their right to demand more, stoping the supports provided and replacing it with a total sanction then Israel governing system will act.
USG-EU sanctioning Russia for "Russians being involved in Ukraine", Israeli government is being involved stealing Palestinians land for last 65 years and nothing has done to stop the thievery, but in two weeks time both EU and USG have imposed sanctions on Russia for what is their proven involvement in Ukraine, for one, it is admitted by Victoria Nuland that USG have spend five billion dollars for what has become the present Ukraine in turmoil.
