Chapô :

The move by several UN member states to recognise the Palestinian state is coming up against a crisis of legitimacy and political representation for the government of Mahmoud Abbas.

Extract:

For Aude Signoles, a lecturer and researcher in political science and a specialist in the Palestinian question at Sciences Po Aix and the Mesopolhis laboratory, «without specifying the borders of this State, its powers and disarmament as announced, it is complicated to see this advance as a real turning point». And this at a time when Donald Trump's plan for the Gaza Strip, presented on 29 September in Washington alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, once again sets out a political future separate from that of the West Bank, reinforcing the split between the two Palestinian territories.
