Cliff Notes – Why the Pro-Israeli media are pushing another agenda on Palestine Statehood.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer plans to recognise Palestine in September, contingent on Israel’s response to specific conditions, including a ceasefire.
- Yalda suggests alternative methods to compel Israel to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza during the discussion with Richard.
- Anshel Pfeffer, The Economist’s Israel correspondent, shares insights on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s lack of a strategic plan for the ongoing conflict and its aftermath.
Why Palestinian statehood won’t stop the starvation | World News
The mainstream newspapers are filled with quotes from the far right are purporting the notion that a Statehood for Palestine would not stop the starvation in Gaza, is absolutely absurd.
The simple answer to that nonsense is, the moment Statehood is achieved for the Palestinians, the people belonging to that area become a country and become protected by International and allies.
What does recognising a Palestinian state mean?
Significantly, Israel would have to acknowledge that and would not be able to control what comes in and goes out of a sovereign country.
Aid, food, produce people would all be governed by a Palestinian government, which would immediately end the suffering of the people of the West Bank and Gaza. As aid, investment and resources would be made immediately available by the Arab nations overnight.
But from the moment the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK would recognise the state of Palestine in September if Israel does not accept certain conditions, including a ceasefire – and immediately the right wing media came out with proposals on why it would fail.
In fact Sky news was one of the first, Yalda thinks that there are better ways to pressure the Israeli government into allowing more aid into Gaza, and she tells Richard what these are.
Richard has gathered some research into the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid points and tells Yalda what he has found out.
And proposes a notion to discredit Palestinian statehood. Netanyahu came out with his immediate condemnation.
Earlier this year Isreal blocked the Arab league from meeting in the West Bank to discuss the next steps of Palestinian Statehood.
For Israel Palestinian statehood would be the worst end to this genocidal war and perhaps that is why they are invading the land in Gaza and West Bank at pace.
