There has been a lot of talk recently, especially by the Biden administration, about its desire to reconstruct the region, to achieve Israel’s security by establishing a Palestinian state whose borders have not been defined, and to determine the future of settlements and the status of Jerusalem.
Accordingly, the talk about the Palestinian state is not emerging today, and the conversation about the state may be at this time if the position is not an American electoral bazaar; it is the result of the repercussions of the battle of the Al-Aqsa flood and the repercussions of the war on Gaza.
The talk of the Palestinian state since the signing of the Oslo agreement since the era of Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, and in the era of Trump deviated from the Palestinian state, and the normalization agreements and the deal of the century and the fear that Biden’s talk does not depart from the context of redesigning and beautifying the agreement of the century, and if that is the case, talking about the Palestinian state is for the sake of selling illusion.
If there is talk about a Palestinian state, let it be the resolution issued by the General Assembly of the United Nations recognizing the State of Palestine as a state with the borders of the fourth of June 67 with Jerusalem as its capital.
This recognition of the state and its borders is submitted to the Security Council, approved and put to the vote under Chapter VII, recognized by the members of the United Nations, and placed under a transitional period of three years during which negotiations and talks with Israel under the auspices of the United Nations to approve the agreements, protocols, and crossings linking Palestine with Israel on the holding of elections to elect the Palestinian people to represent them for an independent Palestine with full national sovereignty.
