Europeans, Arab and Muslim nations launch a new initiative for a Palestinian state
|
[IsraelTimes] Norway and Saudi Arabia co-host a conference attended by 90 countries on sidelines of UN General Assembly to accelerate statehood, bolster two-state solution
| Norway’s last effort in this direction, so highly trumpeted at the time, was such a dismal failure that they insist on doing it again. Joy. |
European, Arab and Islamic nations have launched an initiative to strengthen support for a Paleostinian state and its institutions, and prepare for a future after the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
and escalating conflict in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled (until yesterday) by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, Norway’s foreign minister said Friday.
Espen Barth Eide told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that "there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Paleostinian Authority, a Paleostinian government, a Paleostinian state — and the Paleostinian state has to be recognized."
Eide said many issues need to be addressed, including the security interests of Israel and the Paleostinians, recognition and normalization of relations after decades of conflict and the demobilization of Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
as a military group.
"These are pieces of a bigger puzzle," Norway’s chief diplomat said. "And you can’t just come in there with one of these pieces, because it only works if all the pieces are laid in place."
But even if the puzzle is completed, it’s unlikely to gain traction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has long been opposed to a Paleostinian state. Israel also argues that pushing ahead with such a move now would be a reward for terror in the wake of the October 7 massacre by Hamas that killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
Still, Eide believes that after decades of failed or stalled negotiations, "we need to take a new approach" to achieving an independent Paleostinian state.
To accelerate work on these issues, Eide said almost 90 countries attended a meeting Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly’s current gathering of world leaders. He and Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
’s foreign minister co-chaired the session to launch "The Global Alliance for the Implementation of a Paleostinian State and a Two-State Solution."
"We have to see how we can come out of this deadlock and try to use this deep crisis also as an opportunity to move forward," Eide told a UN Security Council meeting on Gaza later Friday.
Norway is the guarantor of the 1993 Oslo Accords, hailed as a breakthrough in the decades-long conflict between Arabs and Jews, which created the Paleostinian Authority and set up self-rule areas in the Paleostinian Authority. Eide said more than 30 years later, Israel’s "occupation" is continuing, and there are no negotiations leading to a final settlement and an independent Paleostinian state — which led to Norway’s decision in May to recognize a Paleostinian state.
Now, 149 of the UN’s 193 member nations have recognized a Paleostinian state. Eide urged all countries "to contribute to universal recognition" and strengthen Paleostinian institutions so they live up to the expectations of people in the West Bank and are prepared to return to Gaza: "We want one Paleostine, not different Paleostines," he said.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud told the UN Security Council on Friday that his country, the joint Islamic-Arab ministerial committee, Norway and the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
launched the alliance "because we feel responsible to act to change the reality of the conflict without delay."
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell urged all countries to take practical measures "to bring about the free Paleostine next to a secure Israel."
Borrell said on X that the first meetings of the alliance would be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Brussels.
Borrell asked rhetorically of anyone who opposes a two-state solution: What is the solution, and can it be implemented? He stressed that work on this initiative will move ahead quickly.
Eide said this new effort is built on the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, "but updated to today’s reality."
The 2002 initiative, endorsed by the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, offered Israel normalized relations in exchange for a full withdrawal from territories captured in 1967.
He said efforts started long ago to build the institutions of a Paleostinian state.
"It’s difficult," Eide said. "Their hands are tied in many ways. We’re seeing an increasing amount of illegal settlements and settle violence."
"But still, there is an embryonic institution there that we have to strengthen," he said.
Eide said he chaired a meeting Thursday of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee for the Building of Paleostinian Institutions, with the United States, Canada, the EU and many Mideast and European countries contributing.
"None of these tools will solve the problem on their own, and we never pretended that, but we’re trying to build a body of instruments that will take us forward to a peaceful settlement," Eide said. "And I am convinced it will happen here."
