Macron has stated France will recognise Palestine as a country later this year.
Should australia do the same?
I have come down in favour. At present Israel is unquestionably doing all it can so there will be no two state solution.
In Gaza it is making the area uninhabitable and when combined with the bombing of the 32 hospitals there as well as targeting of health professionals 'encourages' people to leave Gaza. In the West Bank it allows israeli terrorists to kill palestinians at will and allows the stealing of palestinian property .
Recognising Palestine would place pressure on Israel to desist. It does not guarantee this will happen but it might.
It would also allow Western countries to assist Palestine with elections and governance.
