‘We want the PA to be a single agency for Palestinians’: Qatari PM
Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has told CNN that he hopes that the Palestinian Authority (PA) will be “the single agency for the Palestinians” to take care of Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“Right now, there were ongoing talks between all the Palestinian factions… in order to make sure that this technocratic committee … will take care of Gaza in this transition period, and will be linked somehow to the PA”
“Once the reforms are in place, the PA should take over the governments in Gaza and the West Bank together. … We cannot separate those two units.”
He added that there was “wishful thinking from some politicians, maybe in Israel, that there are other solutions, other than the two-state solution”. However, at the end of the interview, Qatar’s PM affirmed there “is no solution except the two-state solution”.
Right sentiment, wrong government. The Palestinians do not trust the PA at all.
Labour unions could help disrupt war supply chains and end Israel’s genocide in Gaza
A ceasefire clearly will not stop the killing as long as Israel receives political, military and logistical support from the West to continue its occupation and colonisation of Palestine.
Two years of street protests throughout the world have sought to pressure governments to reverse their position on Israel, but they have failed to achieve significant change.
Large-scale labour mobilisation may be the answer. Labour unions, particularly in Europe, are uniquely positioned to play a central role in undermining their governments’ support for Israel.
Given the active trade between Israel and European countries, and the logistical significance of European ports, workers in many sectors could make a difference by organising for Palestine.
