Macron‘s Israeli advisor spearheading initiative for Palestinian state

(May 19, 2025)

„The Paris conference will serve as a crucial preparation mechanism for the international conference in New York,“ Bronchtein explained in conversation with Israel Hayom. „We expect that direct dialogue between hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians, together with opinion leaders from Europe and Arab countries, will formulate joint positions that will be presented to world leaders in New York as a new foundation for Middle East diplomacy and will showcase practical implementation paths for the two-state solution. The New York conference will receive broad support from European and non-European nations, including Arab and Muslim countries, and we believe that the US will play a central role in advancing this initiative.“

Hundreds of UK Muslim Organisations Unite to Call on Prime Minister to Recognise Palestinian Statehood

(April 29, 2025)

Commenting on the letter, Secretary General Dr Wajid Akhter said:

“We are at a watershed moment as events in Gaza intensify, with more innocent lives lost each day. British Muslim communities, alongside countless others across the country, are simply calling for a foreign policy rooted in justice, humanity, and international law.

We have rightly mobilised a coalition of the willing to oppose Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, yet the illegal occupation of Palestine and the mass killing of Palestinian civilians is met with silence. We urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show moral leadership and act swiftly.“

Albanese: Israel’s actions in Palestine constitute genocide, calls for Israel’s suspension from the UN

Albanese went on to clarify that UNRWA cannot disappear because it is a UN body protected by international law. „Member states cannot eliminate it by changing laws or cutting funding, as Israel and other countries have attempted. The rights of Palestinian refugees will remain intact because those rights are codified in international law.“

She also raised the issue of Israel’s violations against the UN, citing the destruction of 70% of UN premises in Gaza and the targeting of UNRWA schools, which had been sheltering refugees. „Israel has violated the UN Charter, and it must be held accountable for its actions. I have called for the suspension of Israel‘s credentials in the UN because of its disregard for international rules and laws. Israel has destroyed or damaged UN premises, targeted shelters, and accused the UN of terrorism.“

Gaza: can the UN suspend Israel over its treatment of Palestinians? It’s complicated, but yes

At the start of each annual general assembly session, the credentials committee reviews submissions from each member state before they are formally admitted. Usually, this is a formality, but on September 27 1974, the credentials of South Africa – which was then operating an apartheid system – were rejected.

(…)

A draft resolution calling for South Africa’s expulsion was eventually put to the security council at the end of October, but it was vetoed by the US, the UK and France.

However, on November 12, the president of the general assembly, Algeria’s Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ruled that given the credentials committee’s decision and the passing of resolution 3207, “the general assembly refuses to allow the delegation of South Africa to participate in its work”. South Africa remained suspended from the general assembly until June 1994 following the ending of apartheid.

Rapporteur calls for suspension of Israel‘s UN membership

„I do believe that the impunity that has been granted to Israel has allowed it to become a serial violator of international law,“ Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said at a news conference.

Albanese said she recommends that the General Assembly consider the suspension of Israel‘s credential as a member of the UN until it ends violating international laws and withdraws the occupation, which she said is „clearly unlawful.“

(…)

„The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to withdraw, unconditionally, totally, rapidly as possible its military presence, dismantling the colonies, stopping the seizing the exploitation of natural resources on the occupied Palestinian territory and making also reparations,“ Albanese added.

In a letter to the president of the UN General Assembly, Lazzarini added that „under such physical, political and operational attack“ Unrwa’s fulfilling of its mandate will become impossible without the intervention of the General Assembly.

Back in 1974 the General Assembly voted to suspend South Africa from participation in its work due to international opposition to its apartheid policies.

The United Nations General Assembly is likely to vote next week on a Palestinian draft resolution demanding Israel end „its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory“ within six months.
The key aim of the draft resolution, written by the Palestinian Authority and seen by Reuters, is to welcome a July advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice that said Israel‘s occupation of Palestinian territories and settlements is illegal and should be withdrawn.

The Palestinian Authority‘s diplomatic war continues – editorial

Ever since then-PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, infamously carrying a pistol, spoke at the UN in 1974, the Palestinian situation has not significantly changed. In fact, as the situation in Gaza attests, it has only gotten worse – despite the PA winning vote after vote in the UN General Assembly.

If the Palestinians had spent the same energy over the past half-century building up the areas under their control in the West Bank and Gaza rather than demonizing Israel on the world stage, their situation today would be markedly different and much better.

Could the Palestinians get UNGA membership?

The May vote by the General Assembly was a global survey of support for the Palestinian bid to become a full member – a move that would effectively recognize a Palestinian state – after the United States vetoed it in the U.N. Security Council in April.

The Palestinians remain a non-member observer state as the 15-member Security Council has not acted on the General Assembly recommendation.
