“… While recognition is a symbolic act of support for Palestinian self-determination, the prospect of a viable Palestinian state — on territory now occupied or blockaded by the Israeli military — is in many ways more elusive than it has been in decades.

“The hope for a two-state solution is fading, but we cannot let that light go out,” Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer, said in a video statement. “Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution, I state clearly as prime minister of this great country that the United Kingdom formally recognizes the State of Palestine.”

Canada and Australia confirmed their decisions in statements released just before Mr. Starmer’s. Portugal’s foreign minister, Paulo Rangel, announced the country’s decision on Sunday afternoon from New York, saying a two-state solution was the “only path to a just and lasting peace.” …”

“… “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not it. It’s not going to happen,” he said in the Oval Office, acknowledging that he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day on the topic. “It’s been enough. It’s time to stop now,” he added.

“I recently returned from Gaza, where I witnessed the humanitarian catastrophe that has resulted from Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. The crisis defies comparison to anything I have encountered in nearly four decades of responding to disasters in more than 100 countries.

Anyone who knows anything about famine and starvation knows that peanut butter paste is nearly a miracle therapeutic food used in preventing severe MALNUTRITION from advancing to starvation. It is one of the reasons we don’t see vast We Are The World starvation events so much anymore.
