“I do not believe the Palestinians, as they exist right now, have all of the elements to give it statehood”
US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield said at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York on September 12, in response to a journalist's question on recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Yeah no shit, with half the place being rubble and controlled by a terrorist group, while being at war and going through a genocide why would it ever be ready?
It’s almost as if by letting terror and war rage there you can always hide behind this excuse, how convenient…
Edit: Gaza, not the west bank
The West Bank is not controlled by Hamas and would be ready for statehood at any time.
Okay, that is true and I agree with it. I was too focused on Gaza
