1. >”The plan allows Israel to maintain significant security control over Gaza, and this would restrict Gaza’s independence and ultimately the sovereignty of the Palestinian people,” she told MEE.

   Already planning the consent for the next incursion. Israel needs to go, but the world leaders don’t care, they will continue to appease the new Nazis.

2. The sooner we accept that “International law” is a fucking meaningless term going forward the better

   The multipolar world will give even less fucks about that shit than a world under US hegemony

3. Gaza war: ending.

   UN: “no good”.

4. right.

   even if that is the case, does it matter?

   in reality, we’re way past ‘international law’ being relevant.

   let’s remind, it was the West — the US & Nato — that launched an ‘unprecedented’ offensive on non-aligned, Orthodox, Serbia
   in the middle of Europe,

   and then, created the artificial Nato base
   of Kosovo. & of course, there r loads other examples of West ignoring ‘international law’ when it suits them.

   so, in other words, Trump will do as he wants. and everyone back him on it.

5. The UN is frustrated because it hasn’t been able to achieve anything like this in the past 70 years and is increasingly seen as laughingstock. Last month they invited an Al-Qaeda leader responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of minorities in Syria to speak, they deserve to be clowned on. 

6. You really asking me why it’s wrong to call a democratic country with regular elections „Nazis“, which ruled by an authoritarian dictatorship.

   Can’t make this shit up.

7. What a sorry state the UN has deteriorated into. These people provide obstacles not pathways to peace. Apparently solving the Israel/Palestine conflict once and for all has to be a condition for any peace plan or it should be considered illegal🙄

   >14 Omission of fundamental issues

   > * The dismantling of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank

   > * Establishment of recognised borders

   > * The right of return and status of Palestinian refugees

8. She hasn’t been a UN commissioners since 2014. Now, she represents South Africa in the ICJ (on a Gambia vs Myanmar case). She also chairs one of the many anti-Israel commissions in the UN. Of course she opposes the ceasefire. The UN is largely responsible for the conditions in Gaza, via UNRWA, and does not support coexistence between the two nations.

9. > Pillay also noted that Israel has failed to comply with the UN General Assembly Resolution of 18 September 2024, which requested Israel to uphold the ICJ judgment within one year. 

   Lol if Israel actually ended its occupation within a year, you’d have civil collapse in the West Bank.  No one actually wants such a fast transition other than maybe some revolutionary group

10. So what? It’s not like UN actually cares about Palestine or members would’ve pressured Israel a long time ago. We know, they have means, they just don’t want do anything, because they’re afraid to oppose USA

11. Can we all admit at most people will stomach economic actions but nothing substantial like boots on the ground. Not even like the U.S. since I’ll admit we burned a shit ton of good will from Gulf War and the Balkans. No one wants to deal with this mess in a way that matters unless they are going to burn one side at the stake. Those who could be fair about it don’t have the power projection to do so. So like…what is the best choice/path? I’m open to suggestions.

12. I’ve read the entire article and seen no mentions of laws being broken by this plan. Can someone point out where, besides the title, the article shows this?
