The recognition of the Palestinian State will be key to the UN 80, which will begin in a few hours. In the General Assembly
The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal officially recognized the State of Palestine on Sunday, on the eve of the world summit. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, has promised to "fight" against the wave of confessions, and Israeli Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir have proposed annexing the West Bank in response to the Palestinian State's acknowledgements.
This Tuesday begins in New York theGeneral Assemblyof the United Nations , which brings together the world's leading leaders every year. The 80th edition comes dotted with controversy, as at the end of August the US decidednot to allow Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas and 80 Palestinian officials to participate in the General Assembly of the United Nations HaAnd the international protests have not been withdrawn.
In any case, the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, Varsen Aghabekian, has been hopeful that is the beginning of the General Assembly\u00A0 and that it will be a "memorable and significant week" in which the State of Palestine is expected to be recognized by several countries.
Aghabekian believes that the accession of major Western powers, such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, to this initiative "sends a message of hope to the Palestinian people", while the Israeli army is immersed in the invasion of the city of Gaza, forcing all its inhabitants to move south.
"Occupation is the fundamental cause of instability in the region and the suffering of the Palestinian people," he added, reiterating his commitment to two states.
In this context,British Prime Minister Keir Stermar has officially recognized the State of Palestinein the first hour of this afternoon and so have Canada, Austalia y Portugal . More than 150 countries worldwide recognize the State of Palestine.
Many analysts believe that the recognition of the Palestinian state will not stop Israel's attack on Gaza , but it will further highlight the loneliness of the US and Israel, which are supported only by ultra-right-wing governments (including Hungary and Argentina) and several small Pacific states.
Several US congressmen have threatened to "impose sanctions" on countries that recognize the State of Palestine.
Twenty-five congressmen from the United States Republican Party have sent a letter to France, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia seeking recognition of the State of Palestine within the framework of the UN General Assembly.
Congressmen consider this decision a "reward for terrorism" and warn that they will take "punitive measures."
Netanyahu has promised to "fight" against recognition of the Palestinian state
"The international community will listen to us in the coming days," the Israeli prime minister warned before attending the UN meeting.
Netanyahu will return to the atrium of the General Assembly to defend "truth," where he will defend his strategy of "achieving peace by force."
On the other hand, ultra-nationalist leaders and Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir have on Sunday proposed a formal annexation of the West Bank with Israel in response to the final recognition of the State of Palestine.
Smotrich, Finance Minister and leader of the National Religious-Zionism Party, has stated in Account X that "the only response to the manoeuvre against Israel is to assume sovereignty over the homeland of the Jewish people in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and to definitively suppress the absurd idea of a Palestinian state."
He has therefore directly asked Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of the Likud party to do so: "Prime Minister, the time is now and it is up to you."
The Minister has stressed his intention to present a concrete proposal for annexation to the West Bank at the next meeting of the Israeli Council of Ministers.
