UN: Adopt Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine or see conflict worsen

The United Nations has reached the crossroads where its very existence must be seriously questioned as it continues to blatantly violate article 80 of its own Charter.  

This follows Israel’s rejection of any attempt to unilaterally impose the creation of an independent Palestinian Arab state between Israel and Jordan by 99 of Israel’s 120 politicians on February 21, 2024.  

At the same time - another attempt by the Security Council to procure a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza War has failed--whilst the Security Council still continues to take no action to transfer Gaza’s women, children, the sick and the elderly from Gaza to the 50 refugee camps UNRWA runs in Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and Jordan. 

The United Nations is witnessing a conflict that has already spread beyond Gaza and is doing nothing to prevent that worsening. 

Instead--the UN and its member states are devoting an enormous amount of time and resources denigrating and delegitimizing Israel by seeking an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. 

The ICJ is being asked to express its opinion based on a dossier of documents filed with it by UN Secretary -General Guterres--starting from 1967--thereby excluding the ICJ considering the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine recognising Israel’s entitlement to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), Gaza and East Jerusalem under articles 6 and 25--preserved until today by article 80 of the United Nations Charter. 

The 1967 starting date will also exclude the ICJ considering the founding 1964 Charter of the Palestine Liberation Organisation--which significantly states in Article 24: 

This Organization does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields. 

Also excluded: The 1936 Peel Commission Report and 1947 UN Partition Plan.   

Guterres gives the ICJ half of the documents--so Guterres will only get half an opinion.    

Furthermore--any Advisory Opinion issued by the ICJ will have no binding effect on Israel as it has not submitted to the Court’s jurisdiction.    

The duplicity of the UN in sending the ICJ on this fool’s errand is unbelievable. It evidences the extreme hatred borne by UN member States to Israel--1 Jewish State among 57 Islamic States trying to create a 58^th. 

Whilst the UN plays these games--Gaza implodes, and its citizens continue to suffer--as the UN keeps Gaza’s civilians penned in Gaza--becoming human shields preventing Israel expeditiously neutralising those Gazans responsible for the atrocities committed on October 7, 2023.

Guterres and Tor Wennesland--UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority--both have refused for the last 20 months to bring the 2022 Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) to the UN for consideration to end the 100 years-old Arab-Jewish conflict.  

The consequences of their inaction have been devastating. 

The United Nations now has a clear choice:  

• Replace the failed 2016 two-state solution proposed in Security Council Resolution 2334 with the solution proposed by HKOPS-- which unlike Resolution 2334--calls for part of the West Bank to become part of Israel with the remainder to be merged with Jordan into one territorial entity

OR 

• See the current conflict continue to worsen beyond Gaza 

The UN fish will continue to stink from head to tail until Guterres and Wennesland are replaced.
