UN to Decide Israel’s Fate—without Israel

Imagine if, after 9/11, the world had convened—not to defeat al-Qaeda, but to offer it a seat at the United Nations. Unthinkable? Then why is Israel being asked to accept exactly that—legitimacy and statehood for those who masterminded October 7?

Nearly two years after October 7, the international system that facilitated the atrocities of Hamas—and never clearly condemned them—is preparing to reward the movement behind it. Not with sanctions, but with sovereignty. Not with justice, but with a seat at the U.N. table.

The Conference No One Voted For

From June 17 to 20, 2025, an international conference hosted by France and Saudi Arabia under U.N. auspices will convene at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. This conference, stemming from a December 2024 UN General Assembly resolution and backed by the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation illegal, aims to present the world with a fait accompli: the unilateral creation of a Palestinian state, with a timeline and enforcement mechanism baked in. No Israeli consent. No Palestinian reform. No preconditions for peace. Just a roadmap scrawled in European salons and Arab palaces—delivered not as a proposal, but as a divine edict.

The hosts? French President Emmanuel Macron, fresh off a series of pro-Palestinian declarations, and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan. They’ll be joined by Ireland, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and the Palestinian Authority. The U.N.’s Secretary-General António Guterres and Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo will lend it procedural gravitas. The stated aim of the conference is to place the international community on an ‘irreversible’ path toward the establishment of a Palestinian state—effectively bypassing negotiations and enshrining a unilateral outcome as the new global consensus.

The message: this is happening—with or without Israel.

Performance, Not Peace

This isn’t peace. It’s performance. A theatre of appeasement where terrorism is rewarded, and sovereignty is auctioned off to the highest bidder in moral posturing. It’s a conversion ceremony where realpolitik masquerades as justice. Where a terror-scarred democracy is told to make irreversible concessions in the name of a peace its enemies have not agreed to uphold.

If you’re wondering how Israel became the villain in its own trauma story, look no further than the moral laundering machine of the U.N., where math, memory, and history go to die.

We’ve seen this act before—in 1937, 1947, 2000, 2008, and 2020. Each time, land was offered; each time, it was rejected. Not because the offers were inadequate, but because accepting them would mean acknowledging that the Jewish people have a right to a state of their own. The goal was never to build a Palestinian state—but to destroy the existing Jewish one. This is not a territorial dispute; it is a war on Jewish self-determination in their ancestral homeland.

Call it Palestinianism: a propaganda architecture designed to negate the Jewish people’s story. It mimics national identity not to coexist, but to overwrite. It appropriates the language of rights, refugees, and resistance—while serving the strategic aim of dismantling the only Jewish state. It has been ongoing since at least 1964, when the PLO was founded not to build a homeland, but to overwrite the Jewish people’s 3,000-year historical and indigenous connection to the land with a surrogate myth.

It is not a movement but an ecosystem—composed of hostile governments, international institutions, major media outlets, well-funded NGOs, and of course the people whose own leaders have admitted their national identity is a strategic invention to erase the Jewish state.

It’s powered by a multi-layered assault:

  • Terror, to destabilize and traumatize.
  • Lawfare, to criminalize resistance and legitimize aggression.
  • Diplomatic encirclement, to isolate Israel under the guise of consensus.
  • Media warfare, to invert victim and aggressor in the public mind.
  • NGO lawfare, to flood international forums with strategic claims and accusations, further institutionalizing the narrative.

Each layer is calibrated to reinforce the others—a full-spectrum campaign of erasure, not coexistence. It exploits the architecture of international institutions while defying their founding principles—a full-spectrum campaign not to build a state, but to dismantle one.

That struggle never stopped. It just changed forms—from hijackings and intifadas to hashtags and human rights panels.. It just changed uniforms—from keffiyehs to conference badges.

The Legal Endgame

There’s a question no one at this conference will answer: Where exactly is this Palestinian state supposed to go? Israel already exists—from the river to the sea. That’s not just a chant co-opted by extremists; it reflects Israel’s legal borders under the principle of uti possidetis juris—which holds that new states inherit the administrative boundaries of the last recognized sovereign.

In Israel’s case, those boundaries were drawn by the British Mandate, spanning the Jordan River to the Mediterranean. That means there is no vacant territory left for another sovereign state. Only existing territory to dismantle.

The June conference also violates international law on several additional counts:

  • Violation of Sovereign Equality: Article 2 of the U.N. Charter guarantees all states sovereign equality. Imposing borders on Israel without its consent breaches this foundational principle.
  • Violation of Territorial Integrity: International law forbids redrawing state borders through coercion. Establishing a new state within Israel’s existing territory by fiat violates this norm.
  • Abuse of Self-Determination: While self-determination is a protected right, it cannot be exercised at the expense of dismantling another sovereign state.
  • Breach of Bilateral Frameworks: The Oslo Accords—recognized internationally—mandate that final status issues be resolved through direct negotiations. This conference bypasses that framework entirely.

So what does this new state replace?

The answer is Israel—not just as a political entity, but as a civilizational presence. The campaign is not merely to partition land. It is to partition history, identity, and legitimacy. And this June, the world prepares to make that theft official.

The so-called “two-state solution” has always been pitched to the West as a moral symmetry: two peoples, living side by side in peace and security. But that was only one side’s dream. The other side never accepted Israel’s right to exist—let alone to exist securely. For them, the second state was not a neighbor. It was a weapon.

And now the international community is preparing to ratify that weapon’s legitimacy. Not in the name of peace—but in the name of peace-shaped diplomacy, which serves to justify only one outcome: Israel’s erasure by stages.

The goal of this June conference isn’t to revive negotiations. It’s to bury them. To enshrine a one-sided outcome under the language of inevitability. To create a reality where resisting terror becomes a crime and conceding to it becomes a moral imperative.

This is the moment of decision. We—the Jewish people, Israel—must affirm, without apology or hesitation, that our presence here is not conditional. It is not up for debate. It is not a historical oversight to be corrected by foreign powers, conferences, or consensus. It is a fact rooted in 3,000 years of unbroken connection to this land. If this conference aims to erase that, then our answer must be clear, unwavering, and immediate: We are not leaving. We are not surrendering our legitimacy. And we will not disappear to satisfy the illusions of those who have never accepted our right to exist.
