Palestine state

Published November 25, 2014

ISRAEL’s obstinacy to keep its control on Gaza and the West Bank, as well as to integrate Jerusalem as an Israeli territory, is a wrong policy.

These are counter-productive.

Let the Palestinian state be duly formed as a free and independent state, with sovereignty.

Israel and Palestinians should free Jordan from its current existence and let it be integrated with the state of Palestine.

Jerusalem should be made an independent city state for the believers/followers of Abrahamic religions.
