I wonder how many of the attending nations would be willing to give up 141 square miles of their own territory?
Dozens of countries attend UN confab on two-states boycotted by US and Israel
Dozens of ministers gathered at a United Nations conference on Monday to urge the international community to work toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, with Israel and the United States boycotting the event.
The 193-member UN General Assembly decided in September last year that such a conference would be held in 2025. Hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, the conference was postponed in June due to the Israel-Iran war.
“We must ensure that it does not become another exercise in well-meaning rhetoric,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in opening remarks.
Days before the conference, French President Emmanuel Macron announced he would formally recognize Palestinian statehood in September, provoking strong opposition from Israel and the United States.
Will France give up territory? How about Saudi Arabia? Luxembourg? Britain? Oh, right, England has already given up large parts of their nation to Islamists.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said it would be an “illusion to think that you can get to a lasting ceasefire without having an outline of what’s going to happen in Gaza after the end of the war and having a political horizon.”
Why not give up part of France along the Mediterranean to the Palestinians, Jean-Noel?
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon said on Monday: “This conference does not promote a solution, but rather deepens the illusion. Instead of demanding the release of the hostages and working to dismantle Hamas’s reign of terror, the conference organizers are engaging in discussions and plenaries that are disconnected from reality.”
There’s a reason the other nations surrounding Israel won’t allow Palestinians into their nations in large groups. Violence. That Egypt has a massive wall with razor wire on its border with Gaza. How about Egypt setting aside a large piece of the Sinai Peninsula for the Palestinians? Seriously, does anyone think Israel wants to deal with Palestinians, wants to somewhat govern them? Give them Gaza and a strip of Egypt just below Gaza, wash their hands of them. Kick them out of the West Bank for the new territory. Tell them any attacks against Israel will result in what occurred over the last few years.
“We must all work to reunify the Gaza Strip with the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, without occupation, siege, settlements, forced displacement or annexation,” [Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Muhammad] Mustafa said. “We must rebuild Gaza with and for our people, end the occupation, achieve Palestinian independence, and implement the two-state solution, where Palestine and Israel live side by side, in peace and security, towards achieving regional peace, security, and prosperity.”
Or, how about an island in the Mediterranean that is uninhabited? Surely there’s one that would work. Joining the West Bank and Gaza would require Israel to give up a large section of land because the two do not currently meet.
That’s the thing, the Palestinians do not want a two state solution. They want Israel gone. They had a nice place in Gaza, but, worked with terrorists. They voted Hamas in as their government.
We need a 50 state solution in the US, with NO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BOOT on anyone’s neck.
Funny the UN doesn’t push the Gazans to surrender and lay down their arms.
Plus hand over every member of Hamas to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
The U N can go to hell. Violence in the Gaza strip will never end as long as Muslims are there. Compromising with Muslims is kicking the can down the road. They have to go.
Hamas doesn’t seem to have a working brain cell between all of what’s left – stop fighting and untold Billions of dollars/pounds/rubles/euros/whatever will pour into their coffers from the bleeding heart leftists around the globe for “rebuilding”. They could skim even more cash from that then they can get their filthy hands on now.
