UN lobbies to recognize fictitious State of Palestine

By David Singer - posted Friday, 3 May 2024


Its author is an advisor to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Implementing this proposal would see:

  • Palestinians in the 'West Bank', Gaza and stateless refugees getting full citizenship in the merged Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine with all the elements of sovereignty applicable to those Territories that belonging to a fully recognized state in the UN entail.
  • UNSCR 2334 consigned to the diplomatic graveyard.

Incredibly – neither Guterres nor Wennesland has brought this alternative two-state solution to the General Assembly or Security Council for deliberation and consideration in the 21 months since its publication.

With the region threatening to turn into one horrific killing field – the need to find a solution that can avert such a humanitarian disaster is more urgent than ever.

Implementing this alternative two-state solution:

  • Israel and
  • The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

is a realistically-achievable solution based on fact – not fiction.

However galling it might be for Guterres and Wennesland to see UNSCR 2334 shredded – the current situation demands a clean sweep of UN policies to date and the serious consideration of implementing the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution as the answer to preventing further conflict.

The Bureau should be investigating and evaluating the creation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine in Israel-Jordan negotiations conducted in good faith – not expending its time and resources pursuing the recognition of a fictitious State of Palestine – which will do nothing to end the current conflict.

Is the penny finally starting to drop? That is the million-dollar question.
