COLOMBO — Since the eviction of Palestinians from their homeland pursuant to the controversial Balfour Declaration of 1917, the quest for regaining Palestinian statehood has continued as a means toward lasting peace and security within and between Israel and Palestine.
The effort straddled two centuries but the issue remained unresolved. It became a core question of peace and security in the Middle East and the world. The so-called rules-based order of the international system that grew out of the carnage of two world wars was unable or unwilling to find a reasonable consensus on this issue as major powers juggled 'rules-based justice' with 'power-based practice.
The question is: will that posture now face a reboot calling for international recognition of two states — first, as a via media to peace between the two nations? Israeli intransigence and the devastation in Gaza have brought the need for this resequencing into sharper focus.It can generate a constructive momentum, especially if more European countries join Norway, Spain and Ireland, plus 140 odd other countries. Slovenia has already done that.
