The EU’s foreign policy chief suggested in a lecture that the UN Security Council should recognize Palestine despite the absence of an agreement on borders with Israel.
Solana’s suggestion would actually benefit Israel greatly. Once Palestine is established, the rest of the world will lose much of its interest in the backwater state, and its borders will be established de facto, reflecting the power balance.
Many countries, including most of Europe and Latin America, recognize Palestinian passports—and thus its independence—anyway. Retaliating against a sovereign state is also easier than attacking an “occupied territory.”
Solana can afford heated rhetoric, as he will leave his office soon.
The Palestinians understand that much, and refuse to accept independence without an agreement on borders.
Why don’t they make the EU the True Palestinian Homeland? They are both guyim!!
Solana suggests Palestinian Statehood at UN which is somehow strange, no matter how beneficial it may seem to Israel.But on the other hand if Solana suggests Palestinian Statehood at UN, it means that palestine is already regarded as a state. So, there’s nothing left for Israel to fight for.
Sohnut will be of new and even stronger importance now that Palestine is treated as a separate state in the world.
