Using the UN to undermine Palestinian rights

Yet Solana clearly angered Israel by daring to make such a proposal. Israel is not used to being surprised, and normally the big powers consult it before making any major statements about the Middle East situation. This time it seems Solana did not seek the proper Israeli permission. Yet the Israeli anger itself seemed to give added credence to the idea that Solana must have said something significant.

  1. Essentially Solana said that Israel has become a blockade not a bridge, in fact it has become quite insignificant at this point with too many ulterior motives - bypass it and recognize a Palestinian state. It is a confession that the so-called Peace talks are absolutely worthless and defunct, and serve as nothing but a stall tactic and a green light for Israel to illegally appropriate (steal) more land while slowly genociding the Palestinians. It does not matter what Israel says or does at this juncture, it is totally disingenuous.
