When Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ashiya (incidentally, is there any place in the world that has a prime minister who is defined as stateless?) Announces that if Israel exercises its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, the Palestinians will take steps to establish a Palestinian state, what does it mean?

His very wording seemed winding and unequivocal. Yasser Arafat already announced the establishment of the Palestinian state by remote control in November 1988. In November 2012, the Palestinian Authority's "upgrade" campaign began on the international scene, so many in the world are now now viewing it as a "state." For example, the threatening body of the International Criminal Court in The Hague recognizes the Palestinians as a state, hence their permanent threat - "We will turn to the Hague Court."

That year, the United Nations made an Ephraimish decision to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's status from a "non-state" observer to a non-member state. Something like that. Many countries around the world recognize the Palestinian Authority as a state in bad ways, so it's not always clear what they mean They say “recognition.” The only development in the future that could have content and concern for Israel seems to be American recognition of a Palestinian state.

The fact that the right-wing party leaders, including Yesha council chairman David Alhaini and former minister Bezalel Smutrich, are rushing to recognize a Palestinian state through the forthcoming declaration of sovereignty, does not mean that they are the deciding factor on the issue. The Palestinian prime minister said. So he said. Why, rather, is he not the head of the authority, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen)? Still, it cannot be overlooked that he sees the future Israeli move as a severe blow to the Palestinians.

A woman's announcement to foreign journalists yesterday aimed to discourage Israel from implementing the sovereignty plan that does not come down to its domestic and international agenda. In doing so, the Palestinians join the various elements within Israel who oppose the move - each for its own cause, and the media is making sincere efforts to give a sense of apocalyptic complexity.

But the right thing is to see the Israeli move in a straightforward and straightforward way: a unilateral step to a significant expansion of the sovereignty of the State of Israel, in the territory of western Israel. The unilateral move by the Palestinians to declare their independent state already puts them in a position of violating US President Trump's peace plan. Already, Israel is considered an invader in the territories of Judea and Samaria by the Palestinians and their assistants.

The only danger for Israel in this particular context, as mentioned, is the rise of a democratic government that will recognize a Palestinian state. And even then, Israel's answer will be: Ready for peace negotiations with the Palestinians - and the Americans will accept it.
