Palestinian statehood comes at the end of negotiations for a two-state solution and that process can no longer be held in abeyance, Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Thursday.
“A negotiated two-state solution remains the only path that can offer people on both sides a life in peace, security, and dignity,” he said in a statement issued shortly before his trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, as reported by Ynet News.
“For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state comes more at the end of that process. But such a process must begin now.”
Wadephul’s remarks follow a string of announcements made by different countries on plans to recognize a Palestinian state and in doing so reward Hamas terrorists for their acts of aggression against Israel.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will move to recognize a Palestinian state at the U.N. General Assembly in September, a decision drew swift condemnation from Israel.
“Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution,” Carney said on X, referring to “an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.”

Where are they going to put it in Germany?
If we just give them the Sudetenland they’ll be satisfied, right Wadephul?
“Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution,” Carney said on X
Who gives a crap about What Canada and the UK and EU “Says”
They are all bought by Qatar and the ME financial elements.
The important thing, END Hamas and all Jihadi Muslim Terrorists.
There will be no peace as long as ME Terrorists exist.
Can’t claim a genocide without “Palestinians”. Otherwise Israel is just fighting Arabs, who are in no danger of genocide.
NIMBY International...
“… recognition of a Palestinian state…”

Does that mean they’re changing the name of Bavaria to Palestine and granting the Palestinian authorities there full independence?

Canada. France and UK to recognise Palestinian state
147 of UN’s 193 member states - formally recognise Palestinian state.
BBC News, Toronto
Watch: Mark Carney announces Canada’s plans to recognise a Palestinian state-—Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days. Carney said the move depended on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas.
Israel’s foreign ministry rejected Canada’s announcement, calling it “a reward for Hamas”, while US President Donald Trump said it would make a possible trade deal between the US and Canada “very hard”.
However, most countries - 147 of the UN’s 193 member states - formally recognise a Palestinian state.
Carney said Canada would formally recognise the state of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly.He cited the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, and the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas as reasons behind Canada’s dramatic shift in foreign policy. His remarks came a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September - unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions - and a week after France unveiled a similar plan. “The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable and it is rapidly deteriorating,” Carney told reporters on Wednesday.

He said a recognition of Palestinian statehood would hinge on commitments by the Palestinian Authority to fundamentally reform its governance and to demilitarise the territory.
Canada had long been committed to a two-state solution as part of a negotiated peace process, Carney said, but he added “this approach is no longer tenable”. “The prospect of a Palestinian state is being eroded before our eyes,” he said.Carney told the news conference he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier on Wednesday about the announcement.

Neither territory has held an election since 2006. Carney’s announcement was criticised by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It said in a post on X that Canada’s plan “harms the efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of the hostages”.
Canada’s Conservatives also took issue with Carney’s announcement. “Recognising a Palestinian state in the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist atrocities sends the wrong message to the world,” the opposition party said in a statement. The prime minister has been under pressure to address Palestinian statehood since the UK and France - close allies of Canada - came out with their own statements on the issue in recent days.
The US, a close ally of Israel, has not followed suit. On Thursday, Trump posted on his Truth Social network: “Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them.” Canada is one of the largest US trading partners, and the White House is in talks with a number of countries before Friday, when a range of US tariffs are announced.

Nearly 200 former Canadian ambassadors and diplomats signed a letter on Tuesday calling on Carney to recognise a Palestinian state. Canada’s principles, the letter said, “are being abandoned daily with the massive displacement, indiscriminate bombardment and starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the violent attacks by extremist settlers in the West Bank”.Asked whether he was influenced by the UK and France’s announcements, or whether he had consulted US President Donald Trump, Carney responded that Canada made its own foreign policy decisions.
If France and the UK do formally recognise Palestinian statehood, the US - a strong ally of Israel - will be the only permanent member of the UN Security Council not to do so.Access to news and social media is extremely limited in Gaza, but some Palestinians in the territory expressed a mixture of gratitude and cautious hope at the developments.
Imad Abu Shawish, a journalist in Gaza, wrote on his Facebook page: “Another slap to Israel - this time from Canada after France and the UK. Every recognition brings us a step closer to our dream of an independent state.”
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. More than 60,000 people have since been killed in Gaza, and 154 people, including 89 children, have died from malnutrition, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

“A negotiated two-state solution remains the only path that can offer people on both sides a life in peace, security, and dignity,”
Let’s see, the other side immovable stated goal is your destruction. How exactly do you arrive at “peace, security and dignity” with somebody like that?
The Arabs in Israel are not going anywhere. Either give them their own state or officially annex the territories and give them Israeli citizenship. The dream of an Arab free land is not going to happen any more than the Palestinian dream of a Jewish free land. Both sides need accept that both the Jewish and Arab populations are here to stay.
Why not? Hitler and the MEast Imam were good buddies.
The US will play the veto card...and all our “allies” will go ape.
Euros and Canada realize that this issue has the added benefit of splitting Trump’s base which advantages the Dems in upcoming races.
Not surprisingly , those on the right, Stupeters, *ucker Carlson, Cowens are playing into the left’s hands by dividing the right.
Similar strategy is being used in the Epstein case files.
Israel is a buffer state and fortress for the West.
Anyone familiar with the history of the Frankish Crusader kingdoms of the Levant know that the failure of the Byzantines to support the crusader states as well as internecine struggles among the Frankish kingdoms led to their demise.
They have destroyed themselves. They might as well declare themselves nazis; the effect will be the same. (Are there even any Jews left in Germany anymore? I mean real Jews, not self-loathing, hamas loving Jews.)
