Israeli figures urge EU and UK to recognise Palestinian state for regional peace: Analysis
A group of distinguished Israeli public figures, including former ambassadors and academics, has urged European Union countries and the UK to promptly recognise a Palestinian state, citing principles of historic justice and the need for regional peace. Alon Liel, former Director of Israel's Foreign Ministry and ambassador to South Africa and one of the signatories of the letter, emphasized the importance of diplomatic solutions over military actions in addressing Israel's current challenges. In an interview with Al Jazeera, He highlighted concerns about Israel's international standing and the potential repercussions of pursuing a military approach. Alon expressed apprehension about recent developments, such as Egypt's announced support for a genocide lawsuit against Israel, warning of significant diplomatic consequences for Israel's relationships in the Middle East.

Antisemitism has been misused in this genocide people now associated Antisemitism to propaganda to shut people up for rasing their voices against the Israeli government's policy choices and the IDFs commitment to genocide and their treatment of Palestinians. Saying Netanyahu is a criminal, he's committed a genocide, he broken international humanitarian law on multiple accounts is not antisemitic what would be antisemitic is to keep quite and allow this tragedy to unfold against the Palestinians. Jewish people are against this genocide but they are being silenced, oppressed , criminalised in standing up against Antisemitism by their own people.

Israel needs to allow the Palestinians to govern themselves and give them time to get established and become a normalized population. Once the people in the citizens are happy and they're thriving they're not going to be worried about fighting anyone or killing anyone. And I'm not going to sit here and act like there won't be bad apples that want to ruin everything, and this will probably happen on both sides. But if Israel extends a hand and lets them have their freedom, and the Palestinian government turns on them in the future then at least Israel could say they tried. But what they're doing right now and what they've done in the past isn't working they thought by leaving Gaza, that they're giving the Palestinians their freedom but they had a wall built around Gaza they got the sea on one side and they have a pact with Egypt at the bottom. And Israel literally controls everything that goes in and everything that goes out including the people. They're not allowed to have a military they're not allowed to have an airport they're not allowed to have so many things that us normal societies take for granted everyday Palestinians in Gaza aren't allowed to travel they're not allowed to leave their own country and anyone claiming or asking about the border with Egypt, Egypt agreed to allow Israel to have a say-so on anyone who leaves across the Egyptian in Gaza border. And in return the United States gives Egypt like 1 million dollars a year and a friendship and peace deal with Israel. So Palestinians can't just run across the border of Egypt and then go anywhere they want they have to go sign up and asked to leave or go across the border and then Israel has a say so in it as part of the Israel Egypt USA peace deal from years back
