Sec. Council just approved Gaza Peace Resolution – a big deal for several reasons. The UN has now given its backing to the 20 Point Plan for Gaza, which shows how Trump’s practical, and Israel-friendly diplomacy now command’s center stage in the world. A major diplomatic win for @realDonaldTrump& team @SecRubio@jaredkushner@michaelgwaltz@JZGruen THREAD (1/5)
>The Security Council makes clear that a Palestinian State does NOT exist. This should be the death knell for ICC proceedings, and embarrass all who have pretended otherwise – from Paris & London, to int’l law academia. The Council makes clear that there is no legal or practical obligation to create a Palestinian state (2/5)
Crucially, the Resolution sets out a vision where peace is not contingent on Israel territorial withdraws in the West Bank. SC Res. 242 (1967) made this clear too, and this is a welcome revival. Moreover, the new Res authorizes indefinite Israeli presence in Gaza buffer. No wonder Palestinian groups opposed it. (3/5)
The Security Council determines that Gaza is “threatens… the security of neighboring states,” ie Gaza threatens Israel, rather than vice versa. Bye-bye genocide narrative. and rebuilding of Gaza. The UN takes a back seat now. (4/5)
he Resolution empowers the Board of Peace, chaired by @realDonaldTrump, to oversee the disarmament, deradicalization ([5]/5)
Seems to me that Kontorovich has a rich imagination… What he surmises from reading the doc are either intended or not. We plebes have only what we see in front of our misled eyes, so we naturally that the “Lets Make a Deal” crowd are now making wealth-producing deals. Trumps labelling of those who want to take over the world, presumably using great violence, as “friends” or “great guys” doesn’t help.
We will see. But as long as Trump has the now-conforming ear of Netanyahu at the other end of the line, things will not go well; the muslims will have won again.
When will it stop you ask… Good question…
