On the
website of Sky news HD, in a news item dated 6th October 2011, we
learn that Palestinians want to join UNESCO, as a full member State
instead of their current "Observer" status...
On the
23rd September 2011, Mahmoud Abbas handed-in its application for UN
membership for the “State of Palestine” to UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon. It will probably be refused since the
question of full membership is too sensitive. But if Palestine does
not become a UN member State, how can Palestinians join UNESCO as a
full member State ? Moreover, the USA has described the decision as
"inexplicable" and is against the request, just like the
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. For the while, the
Palestinian bid to join UNESCO looks like a no-hoper...
The
unstable situation between Israel and Palestine started in 1948 with
the Israeli Declaration of Independence. All peace processes in the
Israeli–Palestinian conflict have failed.
To my mind, the peace process cannot succeed if the two enemies do
not seek a compromise. The violence will only stop once the
Palestinian State is recognized by Israel and terrorist attacks stop.
What do YOU think? Comments please!
