>Palestine,[i] officially the State of Palestine,[ii][g] is a country in West Asia.
>The State of Palestine has been recognized by 146 of the 193 UN members and since 2012 has had a status of a non-member observer state in the United Nations.[177][178][179]
>This limited status is largely due to the fact that the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power, has consistently used its veto or threatened to do so to block Palestine's full UN membership.[1][180]
Talk about being on the wrong side of history.
Funny how they turn their whole scheme of identifying the global enemy against them. They could easily maintain their empire, but would rather be Israel's little helper.
>>510531666 (OP)You want to give a UN seat to Hamas? Why?
>>510532121Why not? Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc. have one.
>>510532310Apparently the PA would hold the UN seat. They should probably solve their internal disputes and form a peace agreement first.
>>510532754>>510532918Oh nevermind, you're probably right
>>510532918Yes, you are correct. The PA is for domestic governance, PLO for international diplomacy.
>On 3 May 2017, Palestinian President Abbas visited the White House for the first time during the Trump administration.[48] According to Bob Woodward, citing as his source Rex Tillerson, Trump's early support for Israel wavered: he had begun to wonder whether Netanyahu might not be the major obstacle to a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. On his visit to Israel on 22 May 2017 Trump met Netanyahu and was shown by the latter tapes that appeared to show Mahmoud Abbas advocating the killing of children. Netanyahu then asked him, 'And that's the guy you want to help?'. Trump was outraged by what he saw. After their meeting ended, Rex Tillerson was called in and shown the same material, a 'crudely forged video', and told the president the clips looked like fabrications. Trump remained convinced they were authentic.[49] On the following day, at his meeting with Abbas in Bethlehem, Trump then lashed out at the Palestinian leader, calling him a liar and murderer. Woodward appears to suggest that this disinformation was behind Trump's decision to close the PLO office in Washington and cut off aid to the organization.[50][51][49] This occasion, on 23 May, was Trump's first encounter with the Palestinian Authority.[52][53]
