Netanyahu is seeking to circumvent the national rights of our people – an end to history’s longest occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state – by seeking to raise the idea of our state in temporary borders.
We cannot accept any Israeli-led initiatives that do not lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state with full sovereignty over all territories occupied in 1967 and Jerusalem as its capital. These are non-negotiable boundaries of mutual respect and peace.
Netanyahu’s plan to annex the Jordan Valley and the exclusion of Jerusalem and the settlement blocs of any withdrawal will not create a lasting peace and is a last, Machiavellian attempt to avoid a universal declaration of sovereignty this September.
At the highest level of Israel’s government, these attempts to circumvent the Palestinian demand to end the malicious colonization program of the settlers proves Netanyahu and his cabinet are plotting to convert interim quick-fixes into a permanent status subjugation of Palestine.
What is required now is for the Palestinian people to advance a national strategy that combines our local popular resistance with the steadfast international solidarity evident in the boycott, divestment and sanction campaign to exact a global price for Israel’s unilateral and illegal occupation.
