تبدأ في الرابع والعشرين من هذا الشهر الدورة التاسعة والسبعون للجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة وتستمر لستة أيام. القضية الأساسية في هذه الدورة، هي: القضية الفلسطينية، ولن تطغى عليها لا سياسياً ولا دبلوماسياً ولا إعلامياً أي قضية أخرى، سادت أروقة الأمم المتحدة في الماضي.. أو ممكن أن تهيمن على فعاليات الجمعية العامة، في المستقبل. قضية الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، التي ستشعل أروقة الجمعية العامة، في دورتها القادمة قضية لها علاقة مباشرة بوجود النظام الدولي، الذي من أهم أولياته والوظيفة الأساسية لمؤسساته والالتزام الأول لأعضائه، هي: الحفاظ على سلام العالم وأمنه.
الدورة العادية القادمة للأمم المتحدة، لا تختلف في أجندتها عن الدورة الأولى الاستثنائية (28 أبريل-15 مايو 1947)، التي صدر عنها قرار التقسيم الجائر باقتسام فلسطين التاريخية بين اليهود والفلسطينيين (دولة يهودية ودولة عربية)، إلا ربما، وفي أسوأ الظروف: تأكيد على مشروعية دولة الاحتلال (إسرائيل)، والحؤول دون قيام الدولة الفلسطينية، لتبقى كالدولة المعلقة، لا هي قائمة، ولا هي معترف بها من النظام الدولي.
قد لا تطول هذه الدورة العادية عن فترة انعقادها؛ لأنها ببساطة لن تتعرّض لموجة علاقات عامة ولا مساومات التصويت وحملات جمع الأصوات وشراء ذمم الدول الأعضاء؛ لأن العالم، في معظمه، نظمه السياسية وحراكه الشعبي، مهيأ للاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، وإن كانت هذه الدولة، بمساحة أقل وبمواصفات الدول أدنى، فهي ليس لها من مواصفات الدول، ما تتمتع به بقية الدول الأعضاء، من امتيازات السيادة ومعالم الاستقلال، إنما هي دولة والسلام!
حتى هذه الدولة الفلسطينية، إن حدث وأقرت الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة الاعتراف بها، فإن المعارضين لقيامها، سوف يجادلون ضد سلامة إجراءات طلب العضوية؛ لأن البداية لا بد أن تكون بتوصية من مجلس الأمن، للجمعية العامة، لا العكس. هذا الجدل المناوئ للاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، حتى في إطار حل الدولتين، سوف تستخدمه إسرائيل والدول الداعمة لها والمناوئة لحل الدولتين، لإفراغ أي قرار من الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة للاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، من مضمونه، كمقدمة لمنح العضوية الكاملة للدولة الفلسطينية، بالذات من الولايات المتحدة. حتى على مستوى الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، إذا ما احتج المؤيدون بإقامة الدولة الفلسطينية، أن هناك بالفعل قرار سابق من الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة (قرار التقسيم)، فإن الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية هو أمر سيادي (فردي) تقوم به الدول، بصفة ثنائية، ولا يلزم المنظمة الأممية ولا أعضاءها، فالأمم المتحدة ليست دولة، يتطلب اعتراف متبادل بينها وبين أعضائها. كما أن على الأمم المتحدة ألا تُلزم بقرار به عيوب قانونية، لم يصدر وفق إجراءات محددة تضمنها الميثاق.
كذلك: فإن أي دولة فلسطينية، إن فُرض، وهذا مستبعد، أن وافق مجلس الأمن على التوصية بعضويتها في الأمم المتحدة، فإنها لا تتوفر بها عناصر الدولة المادية. لا أحد ينكر أن هناك شعباً فلسطينياً، عدا إسرائيل، وربما الولايات المتحدة، مؤخراً، فأين إقليمها، أليس محتلاً من قبل دولة أخرى (عضو في الأمم المتحدة)؟. وإن كان المجتمع الدولي لا يعترف بهذا الاحتلال، لكنه أمر واقع، يحول فعلياً، دون قيام الدولة الفلسطينية. ثم لنفرض أن هناك أرضاً، وإن كانت محتلة لا يعترف باحتلالها ولا يقر بذلك المجتمع الدولي ومؤسساته بواقع الاحتلال وربما يدينه ويشجعه ويطالب بزواله، فإين، إذن: السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية (الحكومة) في هذه الدولة التي يُراد الاعتراف بها. لعل من أبرز صعاب الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، من قبل الأمم المتحدة، راجعاً لقصور ذي صلة مباشرة، بتوفر ظروف ومستلزمات الدولة بها.
رغم العيوب العملية والقانونية، التي تصل لمستوى العدمية من أي محاولة، لا أساس قانونياً ولا سياسياً ولا مادياً، للاعتراف بها أممياً، ولو تحت مسمى وعنوان مختلف (حل الدولتين)، فإن العداء للقضية الفلسطينية وتقويض أية جهود دولية للاعتراف بها أممياً، يصل لدرجة الجرم الإنساني، بل لمستوى «الإبادة السياسية الجماعية»، لحق هذا الشعب المظلوم ممارسة تقرير مصيره، ولو بعرض قضيته على المجتمع الدولي. الولايات المتحدة لم تكتفِ بالتخلي عن مشروعها بحل الدولتين، الذي هو عنوان الدورة القادمة للجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة، هي تتمادى عندما ترفض منح تأشيرات للوفد الفلسطيني، حضور جلسات دورة الجمعية العامة، في مخالفة واضحة لاتفاقية المقر.
العالم لم يترك للشعب الفلسطيني.. ولا لضمير الإنسانية، ولا لأحرار العالم، حتى ولو بصيص أمل في آخر النفق المظلم يطل منه خلاص من الاحتلال بمستقبل أكثر أماناً وكرامة. ثم نلوم بعد ذلك الشعب الفلسطيني أن يأخذ قضيته بيده، ويتعامل معها، وفقاً لنصوص قانون ورسالة الأمم المتحدة، بمنهج: أن آخر الدواء الكي.

The seventy-ninth session of the United Nations General Assembly will begin on the twenty-fourth of this month and will last for six days. The main issue at this session is the Palestinian issue, which will not be overshadowed politically, diplomatically, or media-wise by any other issue that has dominated the halls of the United Nations in the past or may dominate the activities of the General Assembly in the future. The issue of recognizing the Palestinian state, which will ignite the halls of the General Assembly in its upcoming session, is directly related to the existence of the international system, whose main priorities and fundamental functions of its institutions and primary commitments of its members are: to maintain world peace and security.
The upcoming regular session of the United Nations does not differ in its agenda from the first extraordinary session (April 28 - May 15, 1947), which issued the unjust partition resolution to divide historic Palestine between Jews and Palestinians (a Jewish state and an Arab state), except perhaps, in the worst-case scenario: a confirmation of the legitimacy of the occupying state (Israel), and preventing the establishment of the Palestinian state, leaving it in a suspended state, neither established nor recognized by the international system.
This regular session may not last long; simply because it will not be subjected to a wave of public relations, voting compromises, and campaigns to gather votes and buy the loyalty of member states; because the world, for the most part, and its political systems and popular movements, are prepared to recognize the Palestinian state, even if this state has a smaller area and lower specifications than other states. It lacks the characteristics of states that the other member states enjoy, in terms of sovereignty privileges and signs of independence; it is merely a state of peace!
Even this Palestinian state, if the General Assembly of the United Nations were to recognize it, the opponents of its establishment would argue against the validity of the membership application procedures; because the beginning must be a recommendation from the Security Council to the General Assembly, not the other way around. This opposing argument against recognizing the Palestinian state, even within the framework of the two-state solution, will be used by Israel and the countries supporting it and opposing the two-state solution, to empty any resolution from the General Assembly of the United Nations recognizing the Palestinian state of its substance, as a prelude to granting full membership to the Palestinian state, especially from the United States. Even at the level of recognizing the Palestinian state, if supporters of establishing the Palestinian state argue that there is indeed a previous resolution from the General Assembly of the United Nations (the partition resolution), then recognizing the Palestinian state is a sovereign (individual) matter carried out by states, bilaterally, and does not obligate the international organization or its members; the United Nations is not a state that requires mutual recognition between it and its members. Moreover, the United Nations should not be bound by a decision that has legal flaws, which was not issued according to specific procedures guaranteed by the charter.
Furthermore, any Palestinian state, if it were imposed (which is unlikely) that the Security Council agrees to recommend its membership in the United Nations, would not possess the material elements of a state. No one denies that there is a Palestinian people, except for Israel, and perhaps the United States recently. So where is its territory? Is it not occupied by another state (a member of the United Nations)? And although the international community does not recognize this occupation, it is a reality that effectively prevents the establishment of the Palestinian state. Then let’s assume there is land, even if occupied, that the international community and its institutions do not recognize its occupation, and perhaps condemn it, encourage it, and demand its end. So where, then, is the Palestinian National Authority (the government) in this state that is sought to be recognized? Perhaps one of the most significant difficulties in recognizing the Palestinian state by the United Nations is due to a direct shortcoming related to the availability of the conditions and requirements of statehood.
Despite the practical and legal flaws, which reach the level of nihilism regarding any attempt, there is no legal, political, or material basis for recognizing it internationally, even under a different name or title (the two-state solution). The hostility towards the Palestinian cause and undermining any international efforts to recognize it internationally reaches the level of a humanitarian crime, even to the extent of “collective political extermination,” of this oppressed people's right to exercise self-determination, even by presenting their case to the international community. The United States has not only abandoned its project of a two-state solution, which is the title of the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly, but it also goes further by refusing to grant visas to the Palestinian delegation to attend the sessions of the General Assembly, in clear violation of the headquarters agreement.
The world has not left the Palestinian people... nor the conscience of humanity, nor the free people of the world, even a glimmer of hope at the end of the dark tunnel from which they can escape the occupation towards a future of greater security and dignity. Then we blame the Palestinian people for taking their cause into their own hands and dealing with it according to the texts of law and the message of the United Nations, with the approach: that the last resort is cauterization.
