[Both Sides] Attempts to Legitimize Palestinian Demands before Peace
※→ et al,
Since a time before the Pope's plans to recognize the "State of Palestine" (May 2015), much on the question of the international recognition has quieted. These issues of the Middle East (Israeli-Palestine) are gradually slipping into a stasis like condition. While it is true that French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for a resumption of talks to formalize the borders and the two-state solution. However the Israelis hold the view that the Palestinians still do not recognize a "Jewish State" [as outlined in UN Resolution 181 (II) - Part II - Section B (The Jewish State) A/RES/181(II) 29 November 1947] and the matter of defensible borders (and the US Joint Chiefs agree: JCSM–373–67).
But I also would point-out the the King of Jordan, who had sovereignty over the West Bank since April 1950 (Unification of the Two Banks), "on July 31 (1988) King Hussein announced the severance of all administrative and legal ties with the occupied West Bank (Disengagement from the West Bank)." This decision, "to cut all ties," place the territory in the hands of the Israelis; having had effective control since the 1967 war. The understanding that under International Law " (i) the territory subject to claim must not be under the sovereignty of nay state (terra nullius) (ii) the state must have effectively occupied the territory." In the case of the West Bank, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan had formally and voluntarily abandoned prior sovereign has expressly and implicitly relinquished sovereignty.
• IF the Oslo Accords are dissolved, THEN does the entirety of the West Bank fall to Israel?
• Is the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in question since it was a creation of the Oslo Accords?
Most Respectfully,
R
