PALESTINE AUTHORITY RESIGNS
By: Derek Varsalona
The governing body of Palestine and the Palestine Authority has resigned on Monday. I believe that this is a good thing for the area of Palestine. My hope is that Palestine could acquire a more moderate-leaning governing body that would want to seek peace with Israel. The only problem is that you could get more extreme groups like Hamas running the show without proper protocol in place.
Palestine Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh has resigned as of Monday morning. I am hoping that Palestine will become a more tolerant nation. I hope that they will choose a leader who will not harbor terrorists in their nation and not want Israel whipped off the map.
Both the United States and its allies want Palestine to play a role in the peace talks over settlements. That is the right approach by President Biden. To have true peace negotiations we should not ice out the Palestinians who have the right to the land that is being occupied by Israel.
The fact is that both Palestinians and Israelis are fighting for their very lives. I might be wishy-washy but President Biden should play a role in the peace talks between Palestine and Israel but not in the arming and the fighting. My hope is with a new Prime Minister we can finally give peace a chance. America should try the libertarian principle of a nonaggression policy in this matter. As always comments accepted.
