ECOSY και IUSY ζητούν από όλα τα κράτη να ψηφίσουν ΝΑΙ για ένα Παλαιστινιακό Κράτος στη Γενική Συνέλευση και το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας των Η.Ε

Σχόλιο Δ.Κ.Κ.Φ. ΑΓΩΝΑΣ: Με αφορμή την ιστορική κατάθεση στον ΟΗΕ του αιτήματος για αναγνώριση του παλαιστινιακού κράτους, επαναδιατυπώνουμε την πάγια θέση μας για ενιαίο και ανεξάρτητο Παλαιστινιακό κράτος στα σύνορα του 67′, μια ειρηνική Ιερουσαλήμ υπό διεθνές καθεστώς. Από την πρώτη στιγμή εκφράσαμε τη οργή μας και δημοσιοποιήσαμε τις θέσεις μας για την άδικη και ασύμμετρη επίθεση των Ισραηλινών στρατευμάτων κατά του ανυπεράσπιστου αδελφού Λαού της Γάζας, η οποία σφαγή συνεχίζεται μέχρι σήμερα και έτεινε να πάρει τον χαρακτήρα γενοκτονίας. Αρνούμενοι τόσο τον σιωνιστικό μιλιταρισμό του Ισραηλινού Κράτους όσο και τον θρησκευτικό φονταμενταλισμό τύπου Χαμάς, αγωνιζόμαστε για δύο λαούς που θα ζουν με ειρήνη και δικαιοσύνη.

IUSY calls upon all states to vote YES for a Palestinian State in the UN General Assembly and Security Council

IUSY has for long supported peace in Middle East and a solution of the Israel/Palestinian conflict. IUSY supports the two states solution with Israel and Palestine living side by side as free, democratic, independent and secure states.

We believe that the Palestinian approach to the UN General Assembly and Security Council comes from the failure of negotiations, a lack of commitment to the peace process from the current right-wing government in Israel and their continuous expansion of settlements. Peace must be reached by the parties and with direct engagement from the international community, which must put pressure among the parties to respect international law. The recognition of the State of Palestine is an important step in the direction to peace.

IUSY calls upon all states to vote YES for a Palestinian State in the UN General Assembly and Security Council.

IUSY calls upon all member organizations and all member parties in the Socialist International to join us, Meretz Youth and Fatah Youth in supportive activities throughout the world and to vote YES for a Palestinian State in the UN. IUSY also calls upon both parties to resume negotiations immediately after returning to the region.

ECOSY demands the European governments to stand together for sustainable two-state solution in Israel and Palestine‏

In the upcoming 66th UN General Assembly the UN members have a unique opportunity to show solidarity and to express their desire to see the Israeli/Palestinian conflict moving towards a sustainable two-state solution. It is fundamental that the principle of the two-state solution, based on the 1967 borders, in which Israel and Palestine exist alongside each other, both independent and democratic, within secure and recognised borders and without fear of violence, be affirmed by the GA.

As the peace process has halted in the past year, the Palestinian UN bid is a step in the final direction, but alone – even if successful – it will not solve the complex problems of the conflict as major issues relating to final borders and mutually agreed land swaps, return of refugees, relations with neighbours, and transition to full sovereignty can only be achieved through comprehensive negotiating rounds.

The current situation, in which no direct talks are on-going, settlements are being expanded and violence continues, is unsustainable and deny both the Palestinians and Israelis the possibility for a peaceful and prosperous lives.

There is therefore a need for continued, serious peace talks, that respect the reality of both countries and which aims at results in the short term. Only through a return to negotiations can the conflict be effectively solved, involving both parties in the procedure. We therefore demand for the EU governments to stand together for the affirmation of a free and independent Palestine, and to support the recognition of the Palestinian state in the UN General Assembly with a renewed demand for negotiations.
