United Nations self-destructs by violating Article 80 UN Charter

Why does Wennesland use the term "West Bank"? For 3500 years prior to 1950 it had been called "Judea and Samaria" – the ancient biblical and historic heartland of the Jewish people. That term was used in 1947 in UN Resolution181 (II) and is still used by Israel today. Why not designate it "Judea and Samaria (West Bank)"?

Wennesland's claimed "right of Palestinians to self-determination and independent statehood" was achieved in 1946 when Great Britain granted the Palestinian Arabs independence in the territory of the Palestine Mandate located east of the Jordan River. It was renamed"The Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan" - further extending its control over the Mandate territory west of the Jordan River when conquering Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem in May 1948 - expelling all the Jews legally living there from their homes until Israel won the 1967 Six Day War.

• Following the December 1948 Jericho Conference - Judea and Samaria, east Jerusalem and the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan were unified into one new territorial entity and renamed "The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan" in 1950.
• The settlements and those 3400 housing units are legal under Article 80

Wennesland's biased, ignorant and semantic-sleight of hand statement is appalling.

He fails to disclose he is also Guterres's Personal Representative to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority.

Wennesland and Guterres are hopelessly conflicted.

A solution to divide Judea and Samaria between Israel and Jordan without creating a new separate state between them – The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS)- has been totally ignored by Guterres, Wennesland, the General Assembly and the Security Council since its publication in 2022.

Time they all started talking about implementing HKOPS – as the Israel-Gaza war threatens to see the region implode into one huge killing field.
