Does Israel have the right to call itself a state?
An international academic conference questions Israel's "state" status.
Reported by Tsarigrad TV on March 14.
At the "Tzirgrad" Institute, an international academic conference titled "Jerusalem and Palestine: The Question of Statehood, World Order, and National Identity in the Contemporary Era" is taking place.
The conference was hosted by Konstantin Malofeyev, founder of the institute and "First Russia" TV.
After addressing the participants at the international conference, Malofeyev emphasized that the idea for this event was conceived before the US and Israel launched military actions.
At that time, the agenda already had practical significance.
Now, this conference has an urgent practical importance: "What we are witnessing now, politically, is a war, but from the perspective of state theory, it is an extraordinary crisis of statehood itself."
It is well known that the State of Israel was established together with the State of Palestine according to Resolution 181.
However, Israel did not abide by the agreement - unlike its neighbors, Malofeyev pointed out: "The State of Palestine is still striving to implement its resolution on statehood. While another state established by a UN resolution - Israel - has not abided by the agreement, which is utterly absurd in terms of international law."
If Israel does not abide by the UN resolutions, it means it negates the existence of the organization that created it.
Then, does Israel have the right to call itself a state?
Konstantin Malofeyev made a logical conclusion on this issue: "Therefore, there is a question of state status, which not only concerns Palestine, which is very important, but also concerns Israel's state status."
