AQEL TAQAZ looks warily at the implications of Western states’ proposed recognition of the Palestinian state

IF you are a Palestinian two things are very clear. There is no peace, there is no plan.
For Palestinians living in Israel, in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem or in the many refugee camps in Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, there is no peace. The UN’s fortnightly reports document deaths, injuries, displacements and settler attacks.
We have become immune to the statistics, but if you are a Palestinian the day-to-day reality is one of a constant risk and threat that you will become the next person to become a number in those statistics.
