End of war between Paestine and Israel and bring peace with Palestine’s UN membership
All the 193 countries in the United Nations have a chance to help Palstine and stop the Gaza war on 10 May. This can be done by voting to make Palestine the 194th member of the UN. With this action the UN helped to ease the long-term struggle of the Palestinian.
The Arab world is only willing to work with Israel if there is a plan to create two different states for Israel and Palestine. This idea is not proposed now; it has been around since 2002, when the Arab Peace Initiative was proposed.
It was also repeated in the 2023 Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit. On May 16, leaders from the region will meet again at the 33rd Arab League Summit, where they’ll probably make another call for peace and stability.
There is the need to take some steps in order to stop the war and bring peace to the Middle East. The State of Palestine should become a member of the United Nations, with its borders based on the 1967 lines, its capital in East Jerusalem, and control over the Muslim holy sites. If this is done then both Israel and Palestine never harm each other and start working together by ensuring each other’s safety. This “ two-state solution” is supported by all countries that follow international law and UN resolutions.
Out of 193 countries, 142 officially recognize the State of Palestine, but the United States has prevented Palestine from joining the United Nations, where being a recognized state really matters. Meanwhile, Israel continues to pursue policies that many consider to be a form of apartheid, which is a troubling situation for many around the world.
Recently, some Caribbean countries like Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago have started formal diplomatic relationships with Palestine. Soon, the UN General Assembly is expected to strongly support Palestine’s membership. This growing global support for Palestine’s right to self-governance is also visible on college campuses in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Students recognize the signs of apartheid and possible genocide, and they are raising their voices to demand an end to these injustices.
According to Article 4, after the approval from the General Assembly the country can join the United Nation. The UN Security Council agreed to let Palestine be a member of the UN and vote for it on April 18. But the United States denied it and used its veto power to block the move. Even though 12 out of 15 council members voted in favor of Palestine joining, the U.S. said no, and the UK didn’t vote either way.
Because the Security Council couldn’t agree, the General Assembly will discuss the issue at an Emergency Special Session on May 10. This session will likely show strong support for Palestine’s membership. After that, the Security Council will revisit the matter.
The key idea is to prioritize UN membership. Peace can’t come from yet another “peace process” like the failed Oslo talks, nor from the unpredictable actions of powerful countries that have long caused problems in the region.
Israel’s leader is totally against the two-state solution and never wants to bring peace. Furthermore, two countries support in this opposition, one is US and other is UK. Both these nation make the decion hard for UN. Instead, they’ve encouraged endless negotiations while Israel continues its discriminatory policies, which might even be considered a form of genocide, along with building illegal settlements.
If the UN welcomes Palestine as a member state, it could help improve security for both Israelis and Palestinians. This move would be supported by international laws, the UN Security Council, the Arab States, and other countries worldwide.
The background to this is long and complex. In 1917, Britain, which controlled a part of the Ottoman Empire, said that this territory could become a Jewish homeland. This caused violence and led to wars over the next 30 years, including the Nakba in 1948.
After the 1967 war, Israel took control of the remaining Palestinian territories and created a system similar to apartheid. As a result, Israeli society became more rigid, with extremists on both sides intensifying the division. The United States and the United Kingdom have not been fair in their role as intermediaries, often siding with Israel despite questions of justice and international law.
