(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - "The Palestinian request for membership in the United Nations, which was submitted to the Secretary-General on September 23, 2011, implies that a Palestinian state already, somehow, exists," says a document prepared by the Foreign Ministry. "However, based on both traditional and contemporary legal and tangible tests, it is clear that while one day the Palestinian state could come into existence, today the Palestinian entity has not achieved the status of statehood." It would be difficult to argue that the Palestinian Authority leadership presently meets the most basic test of effective governmental control of the territories they are claiming within their state since "Hamas continues to exercise full control of the Gaza Strip." In addition, a "lawful claim of statehood" should be based on a commitment to international law, human rights and global peace. On each of these counts, the Palestinians fell short. 2011-10-11 00:00:00Full Article
