The Palestinian leadership hard decisions to make
Reports were talking lately about the President Mahmoud Abbas will to go to Gaza in the next weeks to declare a unity government with Hamas. Not only that but Azam ElAhmad who is a member of the Central Council of Fatah movement also stated in an interview with MA’AN news agency that there are several steps which will affect directly the nature of the relation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
What does it mean to grow up as a Palestinian?
It means a lot actually and everything it means is different from what growing up and living means in other areas of the world. There are other places where it is difficult to live and you have to go through many challenges in order to survive but in Palestine it is still different.
To be a Palestinian whether while living inside Palestine or even in other places of the world is unique and different since you pass through different levels of questioning who you are? What will happen to you and what is the future of the country that you are still struggling to get it recognized as a
Abbas and Meshal to meet on Wednesday in Cairo
In a development that aims to end the division between Hamas and Fatah, President Mahmoud Abbas and Chief of Hamas political Bureau agreed to meet on Wednesday in Cairo. Two important points that are expected to be declared on this day will be related to the coming Palestinian elections and the formation of a temporary Palestinian government.
Sources from Hamas stated in the Media that there is an agreement that the next Palestinian government will be located in Gaza and the new Prime Minister is expected to be from Gaza. Such a move means that current Prime Minister Salam Fayyad will have to resign and this would affect on the funds
The Palestinian struggle at a crossroads
The Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange last week was a very emotional moment for thousands of Palestinians who were reunited with family members they had not seen for years. But it came at a price. Some of the public perceive the prisoner release deal as an achievement for Hamas’ militant approach, a success story that Palestinian diplomatic efforts and negotiations with Israel have not yet been able to deliver.
The prisoners swap came only a few weeks after all eyes were on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as he stood before the United Nations General
Next Friday…A Bid for Palestinian Full Membership State
President Mahmoud Abbas made a speech yesterday confirming that the Palestinian leadership will ask for a full membership state of Palestine next Friday at the United Nations.
The speech came to put an end for the questions and doubts whether the Palestinians will really ask for a full membership or will only ask for an upgrade of their status at the UN. Not only that a final decision was made about the kind of state that will be asked but a complete review of the last two years steps was presented.
Inability and Failure settles within the Israeli Leadership before Palestine’s bid for State
It seems that the Israeli leadership did not understand until this moment what is the reason behind the Palestinian bid for recognition of the Palestinian State in the Un.
Inability and Failure are two words that describe the situation of the rightist Israeli government these days. Prime Minister Netanyahu whose refusal to make any development in the peace process resulted in pushing the Palestinian Leadership to reconsider the whole negotiations strategy and decide to address the International community to be responsible and make an action regarding the occupation that the Palestinian is still living everyday.
The Declaration of the Palestinian State already succeeded
Even though some questioned its success, the Palestinian bid for state on the 23rd of September already succeeded. The world understands now that the Palestinians have a right to live in their own state and the Un resolutions regarding Palestine must be applied no matter what.
The Diplomatic efforts brought great success since more than 129 countries already recognized the Palestinian state and will vote for its declaration later this month. Many peoples know more about the Palestinian case and more are joining the campaign to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian lands.
Why a Palestinian State at September?
A lot of discussions are taking place these days between the Palestinians about the Palestinian state that the PLO wants to ask for at September from the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council.
Many do not understand what are the outcomes of such an International recognition of a Palestinian state while others argue about the 1967 borders that this possible recognition will take as the borders of the Palestinian state. I read a lot of what the young Palestinians have been writing and listen to many talking about their frustration.
