(Gatestone Institute) Drieu Godefridi - There are whispers in the corridors of power that Belgium, Norway and Spain are preparing to recognize a "Palestinian State." The first conditions for recognizing a state are territory and state authority. In the case of a "Palestinian State," there is no territory on which even the Palestinians agree. Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority lay claim over all of the territory, including all of Israel. As for any constituted state authority, there are two. In Gaza, Hamas has governed since 2007. In the Palestinian-populated areas of Judea and Samaria, the Palestinian Authority dominates. These two authorities do not recognize each other. In strict international law, it makes no sense to recognize a "Palestinian State" that does not exist in any of its fundamental components. The writer is a jurist, philosopher, and PhD in legal theory. 2023-12-07 00:00:00Full Article
