If Israel didn't have diplomatic cover by way of the US's security council veto it might, but yeah.

the UN doesn't have the ability to. If only it had more power.

The world needs a lot fewer nuclear weapons, preferably zero, to be sure. But nobody seems particularly keen on giving them up, and if Israel has them Palestine - even if it becomes a state - will always live in the shadow of Israel's military power.

Yes to the first two no to the last, the world doesn’t need more nuclear weapons.

The deserve to be recognized as a state, and an army and nuclear weapons!

I'm glad we have the UN to state the obvious (and then do literally nothing about it.) So helpful.

(I know the person in question is just doing their job, but.)

Spain was the first requesting to recognize Palestina as State and that Israels atacks are a genocide. The Spanish top Diplomat Josep Borrell said that Hamas was funded and supported by the Israel gov. Sadly not all of the EU members are si consistent.
