Netanyahu presents new map at the UN on which he has erased Palestine

  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presents a map of the “new Middle East” where Palestine does not exist, ... while he is advertising on the normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia. During his roughly 25-minute speech at the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, Netanyahu spoke of a new Middle Eastern region where the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip would be part of Israel. And as Netanyahu enthusiastically explained, the main ingredient of this new map would be “peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.” The 73-year-old head of the Likud party showed up at the UN with map and highlighter in hand to outline the boundaries of his new Middle East.

And again in this regard, the so-called peace with Arab countries, the Zionist prime minister clarified his position on the role of the Palestinians: "do not give them the right of veto on new peace treaties with the Arab states", adding that the Palestinians " they should be part of this process, but not have a veto over it." The map he shows makes no reference to the Gaza Strip or the West Bank and east of al-Quds – the territories that Israel occupied in 1967 and that the Palestinians want for their future state. Netanyahu's map shows that the Israeli regime includes all three. Israel no longer controlled the three territories after its violent creation in 1948 over 80 percent of historic Palestine. He occupied them illegally in 1967, and continues to do so in what is known as the longest occupation in modern history.
