France is expected to recognize the state of Palestine during a summit later today in an attempt to pile pressure on Israel as it presses on with its campaign in Gaza despite international outrage. Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal formally recognized Palestine yesterday. ...Are they trying to pressure Israel to kill more Palestinian Arabs?At least 50 Palestinians were killed yesterday in Israeli strikes on Gaza and the war has overall killed more than 65,000 people, according to the enclave’s health ministry.
I am not sure of the logic here. A nation is expected to defend its borders, and make decisions about war and peace. If West-Bank-Gaza is a nation, then it is a nation at war, and it has the responsibility to decide whether to keep fighting or surrender.
It seems to me that recognizing Palestine is functionally the same as saying, "Israel, keep bombing Gaza and the West Bank until they surrender."
Gaza is still holding hostages and refusing to surrender.
