On a recent Pod Save the World, Yair Rosenberg was on to talk about the weird coalition gov’t that was formed to oust Netanyahu and went into some detail on the Palestinian Authority’s corruption and uselessness. Basically, they haven’t held presidential elections in 16 years because doing so would likely mean that Hamas emerges as the dominant power and all hell breaks loose. It’s a humanitarian horror for the Palestinians as well as an administrative one. He actually gave me a glimmer of hope for the coalition government, but even best-case scenario is a far sight from a two state solution or anything that would resemble true self-rule for Palestine.
As always, I’d like to point out how the powers that created this situation (looking at you, UK) aren’t even pretending to be a part of the solution and have completely washed their hands of the devastation they left as their silly little empire crumbled.
