Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and UK turn on Israel

We want to see a reconstructed Gaza no longer run by Hamas and a political pathway to a two-state solution.

Why aren't these Foreign Ministers calling for Hamas's unconditional surrender and supporting Israel in its ongoing attempt to achieve that result? Why do they continue to call for a ceasefire which will leave Hamas in control of Gaza?

These Foreign Ministers should heed the words of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations on 11 December 1984:

Those who accept the notion of a Palestinian people must therefore wonder: how many Palestinian Arab peoples are there? Is there a western Palestinian Arab people and, just across that narrow stream known as the Jordan River an eastern Palestinian Arab people? How many Arab States in Palestine does Palestinian self-determination require? Clearly, in eastern and western Palestine there are only two peoples, the Arabs and the Jews; and, just as clearly, there are only two States in that area, Jordan and Israel. The Arab State of Jordan, containing some 3 million Arabs, does not allow a single Jew to live there. It contains four fifths of the territory originally allocated by the predecessor of the United Nations, the League of Nations, for the Jewish national home. The other State, Israel, has a population of a little over 4 million, of which one sixth IS Arab. It contains less than one fifth of the territory originally allocated to the Jews under the Mandate.

Nothing has changed.

The Foreign Ministers should withdraw their pathetic Joint Statement and seek urgent implementation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution to end the Israel-Gaza and Israel-Iran conflicts.
