British researcher: The Palestinian state must be based on these three foundations. The land cannot be seized by force, the necessity of removing and rejecting the extreme right in Israel, and carrying out real reform of the Palestinian National Council.
If such a Palestinian statelet is established, it will not be viewed by the Palestinians, the surrounding region, or even the international community as Israel’s fulfillment of its obligations under international law, according to the writer. This step will be seen as an endorsement of legitimacy on the occupation, and this will not help Israel and its allies obtain support within the region.
