The Parallel Reality of Palestinian Resolutions at the UN
(Jerusalem Post) Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek - Why is it that the Israeli-Palestinian issue has been filling the UN's agenda practically since its very inception? Hundreds of various resolutions have formed a parallel reality that has very little to do with the reality on the ground. Every fall the UN General Assembly debates a package of Palestinian resolutions prepared chiefly by the Palestinians themselves, with the EU as their main partner. UN Palestinian resolutions do not bring us any closer to the goal of returning Israel and the Palestinians to the negotiation table. According to them, Israel is the sole perpetrator of all Palestinian problems. That goes against the long-standing Czech Republic's foreign policy, which seeks a balanced position.
