The Palestinian Authority has NEVER been prevented from forming a nation state, by anybody.
Fact is, they do not WANT to be a nation state, they want to continue to act as if they were a partisan insurgency, with only one objective - drive the Jews into the sea. And no Jews means no Israel. In the absence of what the Arabs call “Zionists”, the entire region would revert to the barren desert it was before 1945, with a few wanderers largely supported by brigandry and begging from passing strangers.
Dunno. But with the Vatican, along with others “recognizing” them, it seems the world is pushing it along.
I agree, they keep switching their claim, 1967 borders, 1948 borders. They and Hamas, as you say, want to push all the Jews into the sea.
That’s why the world will be so astonished (among other reasons) when the Antichrist pulls it off. He will make “peace”. A false one, but it will seem to work. At first.
