The Palestinian government objected to the American argument. Ziad Abu Amr, who also accused Western powers of arming Israel, asked: “How can entering Palestine undermine peace efforts? Isn’t this the way Israel was founded and became a full member of the United Nations?”
He warned that “security cannot be guaranteed by endless wars while the occupation continues.” He added: “There will be no stability until the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
Israel says proposal creates 'Nazi state of Palestine'
In a violent speech, the Israeli government rejected the proposal and described the decision as “immoral and dangerous.” Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, who accused the resolution of being “detached from reality,” denounced that “the proposal imposes the establishment of a Nazi state in Palestine.” He warned that “this decision will not have any positive impact and will undermine the opportunity for dialogue.”
He added that this “shows the collapse of the United Nations,” accusing the organization of “aiding terrorism.” He stressed, “This shows that in this way the United Nations has no future.”
