Os appeals to the creation of a Palestinian state have intensified in recent months and reflect the increase in concerns about increasingly unsustainable humanitarian conditions that Palestinians face Israel’s war against the Islamite group Hamas.
Israel threatened this Sunday to take “unilateral measures” cases Western countries recognize the Palestinian state, which have already done in recent months and so many have promised to do at the end of the month during the 80th UN General Assembly.
The threat was made by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during a visit to Jerusalem of his Danish counterpart, Lars Lokke Rasmussen.
“We cannot separate the issue of sovereignty of peace, because it would make peace even harder to achieve,” said the minister.
“This will lead Israel to take unilateral measures as well,” he warned.
Although it did not specify the unilateral measures concerned, Israel approved in August a Great project to build 3,400 dwellings in a Somble Zone that the international community believes threaten the feasibility of a future Palestinian state.
At the time, Israeli Minister of far-right Bezalel Smotrich also warned European leaders that recognizing a Palestinian state in September would lead to “application of Israelite sovereignty over all parts of Judea and Samaria,” the name Israel uses for Worm.
As Gideon Saar said, countries that have recognized or announced their intention to recognize Palestine as a state are “Harm the hypotheses of peace.”
“Europe faces strategic and security challenges. It needs Israel as much as Israel needs Europe,” said the minister, adding that “Palestinian authority does not deserve a state based on his actions,” because despite the commitment to combat terrorism consecrated in Oslo’s deals, “he did nothing.”
Therefore, it also criticized the states that intend to advance in this goal are the “reward and encourage terrorism With a doctrine of payment for murder, paying salaries to terrorists and families of terrorists. “
Gaar also urged his Danish counterpart not to “ignore this reality,” but Rasmussen recalled that the Danish official position is that he will only recognize a Palestinian state after a deal negotiated between the parties.
“We are not yet ready for recognition, but our position is that we cannot allow someone to have a de facto veto about the Danish position,” he said.
The growing appeals to the creation of a Palestinian state have intensified in recent months and reflect the increase in concerns about increasingly unsustainable humanitarian conditions that Palestinians face Israel’s war against the Islamite group Hamas.
The devastating Israeli military campaign, which has been lasting for almost two years and began after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, destroyed large areas of the Gaza Strip and severely limited the enclave aid, pushing Palestinians to hunger.
