RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: Part of the problem here is your not connecting the dots.
Only if you rule out Palestinian self-defense.
(COMMENT)
The Hostile Arab Palestinian Aggressors cannot claim self-defense. They have nothing to defend and have not exercised any dispute resolution process in over 70 years.
The Arab Palestinians were NOT attacked or subject to aggression by the Israelis. In the case of the Gaza Strip, the 1948 Arab League assault on Israel did NOT END until the 1979 Treaty with Egypt. Notice that this is almost 10 years before the Palestine Liberation Organization declared independence.
A Military Governorship does not hold sovereignty. The Gaza Strip was (is) occupied Palestinian territory.
(COMMENT)
As demonstrated, supra, the Palestinians cannot claim they had sovereign control of the Gaza Strip until the withdrawal in 2005 by the Israeli. This is when the Israeli voluntarily relinquished effective control. Before 2005, it was NOT autonomous under Arab Palestinian control.
How did a Palestinian border turn into an Israeli border? How did Israel acquire that territory?
(COMMENT)
"Self-Determination"
Definition of self-determination
1 : free choice of one's own acts or states without external compulsion
2 : determination by the people of a territorial unit of their own future political status
"The principle of self-determination is mentioned in the United Nations Charter and has often been stressed in resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly. The concept is most often used in connection with the right of colonies to independence. It does not relate to attempts at independence by groups, such as the French Canadians or the Nagas of India, who do not possess their own sovereign states."
But the logic of your question is, in itself, questionable.
THOUGHT EXPERIMENT:
Suppose for a moment that the "Right of Self-Determination" DID NOT EXIST in 1948!
◈ What impact would that have on Israel of today?
✦ Is International Body going to take repossess the nation and return it to some undefined entity?
✦ Is International Body going to dismantle the Jewish National Home?
✦ Is International Body going to destroy the most developed nation of all the other nations in the Middle East?
Do any of all the other nations in the Middle East actually want to turn over the State of Israel to any of the terrorist factions controlling the Arab Palestinians? Do they really want the Hostile Arab Palestinians in favor of a Caliph to have control over the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center? For heaven's sake, HAMAS
(Islamic Resistance Movement) would be selling tickets for tours and FATAH
(the other Palestinian political and military organization) would be holding auctions over materials in the first hour.
I don't really understand the intent of your question. OR What you expect some international body to do. But I don't think that any international body is going to want to expand the conflict beyond the confined area it has now.
Tell me

Most Respectfully,
