NEW YORK, 20 October 2021, (TON): Israel pursues policies in violation of international law and of UN resolutions “Because it can no tangible cost or consequence is attached,” the UN Security Council heard.
Daniel Levy, president of US/Middle East Project, told council members of the need to address what he called “an accountability deficit when it comes to Israel’s action” as it is one of the core understandings that should guide the peace process forward.
“If the unlawful and peace negating politics of Israel continue to be met with impunity, there should be no expectation of positive change.
Levy said “also to be considered is a legitimacy deficit in Palestinian politics.”
The Palestinian Liberation Organization must become fully representative, inclusive and by extension better able to demonstrate strategic agency and to negotiate.
