UN continues obscene silence on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

 

My latest article revealing that Jordan, the Palestine Liberation Organisation and Hamas have seemingly agreed to the creation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine - trashing the failed two-State solution proposed by the UN since 2016 - has brought no response from UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. 

On 10 January I forwarded my article to Stephane Dujarric - Guterres' spokesperson - asking him:

"For how much longer can the Secretary-General refuse to acknowledge even the existence of this alternative solution to the UN's failed two-state solution?"

On January 3, 2023 I had written to Mr Dujarric:

"I note the Secretary General stated on 19 December: ‘We owe it to people to find solutions, to fight back, and to act", said Secretary-General António Guterres. "At times, discreetly but always with determination, we will fight back."  

I certainly hope the Secretary General has finally decided to bring the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution to the General Assembly and Security Council for consideration as an alternative to the two-State solution unsuccessfully pursued by the UN since the passing of UNSCR 2334 in 2016. I hope that I might receive an acknowledgement of this email by return and a considered statement from the Secretary General that I can publish in response to this latest article within the next 72 hours."

Both emails - along with many others enclosing earlier articles - were not even acknowledged by Mr Dujarric. 

Guterres should rename Dujarric: The Non-Spokesperson for the Secretary General.

Guterres heads the following massive UN anti-Israel administration that vilifies and denigrates Israel on a daily basis - that would disintegrate if the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution was successfully implemented:

• Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP):

Established in 1975 to enable the 1964-invented "Palestinians" to exercise falsely –claimed inalienable rights to self-determination, national independence and sovereignty without external interference; to return to their homes and property from which they had been displaced. 

• United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA):

Established in 1949 carrying out direct relief and works programmes solely for Palestinian Arab refugees involving expenditure of US$2.048 billion in 2022-2023

• Special Rapporteur - Francesca Albanese:

Assessing the human rights situation in the UN-falsely-designated "Occupied Palestinian Territories", reporting publicly about it, and working with governments, civil society and others to foster international cooperation

• The Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and the Secretary-General's Personal Representative to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority - Tor Wennesland: 

Focal point on the ground for UN support in all political and diplomatic efforts related to the peace process and for coordinating the activities of more than twenty UN agencies, funds and programmes on humanitarian and development assistance to a name-changed "Palestinian Authority" and falsely-claimed "Palestinian people".

• Department for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs' Division for Palestinian Rights: The Secretariat of CEIRPP  providing the following core functions:
• Organising meetings of CEIRPP and its Bureau at UN Headquarters;
• Monitoring political and other relevant developments;
• Organising programmes of international meetings, conferences and CEIRPP delegation visits;
• Implementing a publications programme;
• Developing and maintaining the United Nations Information System on the Question of Palestine (UNISPAL) and managing CEIRPP's outreach efforts including via social media;
• Cooperating with civil society organizations active on the Palestinian issue;
• Organising the annual International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

Maurice Hirsh's recent article headlined "The UN is cancerous and should not be allowed in Israel" expresses Israel's increasing frustration with the UN.

Secretary-General Guterres' continuing failure to recognise the existence of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution indicates he is apparently more concerned with preserving this UN Jew-hating behemoth than ending the 100 years-old Arab-Jewish conflict.

UN Secretary-General Guterres ignores Jordan-Palestine nexus

[Published 11 February 2018]


United Nations Secretary-General — Antonio Guterres — displayed how little he knows of the history, geography and demography of Palestine when addressing the opening of the 2018 Session of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (“CEIRPP”).

Established by the General Assembly in 1975 - CEIRPP was responsible for the publication in 1978 of a false narrative of the Arab-Israel conflict - “The Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem 1917-1947” (“UN Study”) - which has undoubtedly influenced United Nations thinking and decision-making.

Three examples highlight the falsity and outright bias of this UN Study:

1. Deliberately misrepresenting General Assembly Resolution 181 spoke of a “Palestinian Arab State” - when claiming:

“After investigating various alternatives the United Nations proposed the partitioning of Palestine into two independent States, one Palestinian Arab and the other Jewish, with Jerusalem internationalized.”

The actual wording of Resolution 181 stated:

“Independent Arab and Jewish States and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem, set forth in Part III of this Plan, shall come into existence in Palestine….”

2. Omitting any mention of the fact that 78% of Palestine had become an independent Arab State in 1946 and been renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan.

3. Falsely alleging:

“The decision on the Mandate [for Palestine] did not take into account the wishes of the people of Palestine”

The evidence contradicting this falsehood actually sits in the United Nations own archives.

That evidence comprises:

(i) Meetings of the Palestine Arab Delegation (Delegation) with the recently appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies - Winston Churchill - on 12, 22 and 23 August 1921

(ii)Letters from 21 February 1922 to 23 June 1922 between the Delegation and the Secretary of State for the Colonies during the Delegation's stay in the Hotel Cecil in London.

CEIRPP concealed this crucial archival evidence - falsely inferring the Palestinian Arabs wishes had not been taken into account when in fact they had been fully considered.

Secretary-General Guterres told the CEIRPP opening session:

“I remain steadfast in the United Nations and my commitment to supporting the parties in their efforts to make the two-State solution a reality.

There is no Plan B.

A two-State solution is the only way to achieve the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and secure a sustainable solution to the conflict.”

Secretary-General Gutteres is apparently unaware that:

1. The term “Palestinian people” was invented in the 1964 Palestine Liberation Organization Charter which also specifically excluded any claim to exercise regional sovereignty “over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” and “on the Gaza Strip”

2. The Palestinian Arabs were never mentioned in the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine - being grouped in with “the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine”

3. The “two-State solution” - Israel and Jordan — first envisaged in 1922 and actually proposed in 1937 - was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the Arabs on both occasions. It was 95% achieved in 1994 when the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty was signed.

4. The “inalienable rights of the Palestinian people” went walkabout between 1948 and 1967 when an additional Arab State between Jordan and Israel could have been created with the stroke of an Arab League pen after all Jews living there had been forcefully expelled.

5. There are many Plan B’s involving Jordan — the major part of former Palestine — which remains the key to resolving this conflict.

Secretary-General Gutteres — with the greatest respect — needs a crash-course in the actual— not fictitious-history of the 100 years-old Arab-Jewish conflict. Relying on this false UN Study to gain his knowledge and understanding of the conflict is not recommended.
