Palestine office

mardi 21 novembre 2017 à 01:00

The US is closing Palestine's diplomatic office because Palestine has called for the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel's crimes.

The only way it can be allowed to stay open is if Palestine enters "direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel." This is impossible because of Israel's extreme demands for starting negotiations, and because Netanyahu has already said he is not interested.

US claims to be interested in serious negotiations are a pretense since serious negotiations would require applying sanctions to Israel.

Palestine's claims to be working engaged in serious negotiations are also a pretense; those are not happening for the reasons stated above.

The ICC, if it investigates, would consider Palestinian crimes as well as Israeli crimes.
