"The bizarre Handover ceremony of Egypt's Chairmanship of the Group of 77 to the 'State of Palestine' for 2019 will enable this non-existent and non-member State of the United Nations to play a leading role in the 74 years old farce-"The Question of Palestine and the United Nations" (PUN).
'The State of Palestine' does not meet the criteria for statehood required under the 1933 Montevideo Convention...
America has denied the existence of any State of Palestine for the last seven decades. President Trump has closed the PLO diplomatic offices in Washington and ceased America's annual payments of $360 million to UNRWA. The PLO refuses to entertain any Trump peace proposals designed to end the Arab-Jewish conflict.
President Trump's response could well see him consigning the 'State of Palestine' to diplomatic oblivion to the accompanying strains of Piazolla's Oblivion-with the United Nations left lamenting at the wake that it holds for the phantom State.
This is truly Theatre of the Absurd - Multilateralism gone mad."
