PA mulling unilateral declaration of statehood

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Haaretz is reporting that the Palestinian Authority is considering cutting off its diplomatic contacts with Israel and unilaterally declaring statehood.

Unilateral declaration of independence by the PA (or better yet by Hamas!) would have the following automatic effects:
1. Legally validates annexation to Israel of all territory IDF currently holds.
2. Nullifies all agreements Israel has with PA under Oslo, UN and Road map.
3. Frees Israel of any obligation, legal or moral, to allow transit across or over its territory of food and medicine to Gaza and any W. Bank “state”.
4. Shuts off all Israeli supplied water and electricity to Gaza and W. Bank.
5. Shuts off access to Israeli airports and harbors to the “PA state”, which has none of its own.
6. Ends travel documents of PA “citizens” in Jerusalem, turning them into enemy aliens subject to deportation. Ends “VIP” privileges of PA bigshots.
7. Permenently shuts off all diplomatic contact and financial aid from the US, per previous directives from Congress. EU/UN out of the picture.

Please go ahead…
