Do it now ya butt
The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That's why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.
Apologies, I should read the article before commenting. I see he hasn't paired it with condemnation and boycott of Israel which is a little disappointing.
Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I'll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we'll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.
It's not election season yet, he'll keep the weapons grade Tut-tutting until then.
Stern rebukes are only for if it's looking like they might lose the election.
Why do they need to wait for the UN vote to recognize another state? I could see a UN vote being needed to vote for the UN to recogize and incorporate them, but that shouldn't stop a country from acting independently.
*At the end of September.
ie. Just long enough for Israel to finalise the annexation of Gaza then the West Bank alone will be recognised as the nation of Palestine.
Israel will claim that since Hamas launched the Oct 7th attack, they're allowed to keep the land spoils, UN will balk but begrudgingly agree.
Fuck the US, no one asked them! All these years they do nothing but stupid decisions.
See what I meant when I expected the Australian government to do something over those protests? I guess it did make me feel good about myself after all
Let me guess, September?
Edit: oh, will you look at that. How interesting.
I think that's because it's when the UN summit happens? And formally you recognize new states at the summit?
They can do that at any time. Idk what it takes for Australian law, but usually a ratification of a recognition is enough.
Recognition in general is just fake rules like most things in diplomacy.
Is this also like the "promise" of "recognition" of the Brits, French and Canadians which requires Hamas to disarm?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
