The Arab League has called for a United Nations peacekeeping force in the occupied Palestinian territory at a summit dominated by Israel’s continuing deadly assault of the Gaza Strip.
The meeting of Arab heads of state and government convened in Bahrain on Tuesday more than seven months into Israel’s offensive in Gaza that has convulsed the wider region.
The “Manama Declaration” issued by the 22-member bloc called for “international protection and peacekeeping forces of the United Nations in the occupied Palestinian territories” until a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict is implemented.
It called for an immediate end to fighting in the Gaza Strip and blamed Israeli “obstruction” for failed negotiations for a ceasefire.
“We stress the need to stop the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip immediately, withdraw the Israeli occupation forces from all areas of the Strip [and] lift the siege imposed on it,” the statement said.
The statement blamed Israel for the war continuing.
“We strongly condemn Israel’s obstruction of cease-fire efforts in the Gaza Strip and its continued military escalation by expanding its aggression against the Palestinian city of Rafah, despite international warnings of the disastrous humanitarian consequences,” it said.
My prediction: The US will leave the UN to avoid any possibility that they may have to act against Israel killing UN troops, but somehow (read: "we will bathe the world in nuclear hellfire") keep its seat on the UNSC so it can keep veto power on everything they do.
The UN recognizing Palestine obligates the US to stop funding the UN. The US passed a law in 1990 saying any org that recognizes Palestine must have funding pulled. Obama did this with UNESCO. The UN charter states that after 2 years of no funding, a country loses voting rights in the general assembly. There is nothing in the charter about losing security council voting rights
Damn, upgrading "prediction" to "mechanical property of bureaucracy", then.
