An article in the British newspaper "The Guardian" warned that what US President Joe Biden is promoting regarding a Palestinian state does not contain any mention of Resolution 242, but rather may be limited to a statelet similar to the Bantustans in South Africa during the apartheid regime, stressing that 3 things must be the basis for the prospective state.

The newspaper - in an article written by H. A. Hellyer, who is an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace - drew attention to British Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s surprise announcement of the possibility of the United Kingdom recognizing a Palestinian state before the end of the peace process with Israel, and the United States also saying that it would It could recognize the Palestinian state after the war in Gaza.

As for the path to progress, it is based on three indispensable pillars, according to Heller, the first of which is that Resolution “242 in 2024” remain the cornerstone, not only for addressing the Palestinian issue, but also for preserving the principle of rejecting force as a means of seizing land, because the international community He watches what the West is doing in Israel and Palestine, and compares it to what Russia and Ukraine are doing, and we cannot allow contradiction to be the prevailing norm today.

The second pillar is to undertake real reform of the Palestinian National Council, the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization, to make it accountable, more democratic and more representative.

Finally, the Israeli extreme right represented in the current government must be rejected, “to ensure that our behavior reflects our values, and therefore the West must work to marginalize and isolate the Israeli political forces that work to undermine the safety of the people of Israel, as well as global interests in the region.”
