Quick Summary

During the UN General Assembly, several world leaders criticized Israel for its violent actions in Gaza and West Bank settlements. French President Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President Recep Erdogan strongly condemned Israeli behavior, calling it shameful and likening Gaza to a concentration camp. The UN Secretary-General warned that time is running out for a two-state solution as illegal settlements expand and violence against Palestinians continues. Despite pledges of $2.45 billion in aid by the Board of Peace, the article argues that without addressing the root issues like occupation and land theft, genuine progress towards peace remains unlikely.

Narrative

Sadly, while calls for a two-state solution continue, the current Israeli regime — and whatever dispensation emerges after the coming elections in the Zionist state — will remain hell-bent on preventing a sovereign Palestinian state from emerging.

🔮 While the impassioned speeches will not be enough to stop the violence against the Palestinian people, they do indicate that even some of Israel’s allies in the West are having a difficult time justifying its monstrous behaviour.
