Two Former Leaders Warn Palestinian State Fading | Adelaide News

Two former world leaders, Mary Robinson and Helen Clark, issue a dire warning: the dream of a Palestinian state is slipping away as Israel’s settlement expansion and incitement to violence accelerate. After touring the West Bank, they describe a worsening situation — including what Robinson calls “explicit hate speech” from Israeli ministers and a clear push toward annexation. Hundreds of settler attacks have been documented by the UN, while the ICJ’s ruling on Israel’s occupation stands rejected by Prime Minister Netanyahu. Clark highlights the daily siege felt by Palestinians, with roads blocked and Israeli flags dominating the landscape.
