[QUOTE="ZNP, post: 75215917, member: 426217"] I plan to revisit this in September when the UN reconvenes. But I just thought an update was in order. The Palestinians have been told sign the treaty or else we will annex your land. In the past the Palestinians have had 3 ways in which to stop Israel. 1. Go to Iran -- check the news. Iran is being hit harder by the pandemic than any other country. They recently said that the true numbers of people who have gotten the disease could be 10 or 20 times higher. [URL="https://www.rferl.org/a/covid-19-georgians-easter-vigils/30558724.html"]COVID-19: Iranian Think Tank Says Infection Figures Likely Much Higher; Turkmen Soccer League Resumes[/URL] Oil has taken a huge hit with vehicle miles travelled down about 30-40%. It is very easy to enforce an embargo with a surplus of oil. Iran is virtually totally dependent on oil exports for currency with which to do foreign trade. Also, with trade down 30% or more it makes it much easier for border security from the US and Israel to make sure Iran is not sneaking supplies to Hezbollah or the Palestinians. As a result they are hardly making a peep about this. 2. If you can't go to Iran they go to the UN. How can the UN send peace keepers to Israel with the pandemic raging, especially in Israel. It is very easy in this environment of quarantines and lockdowns for countries to refuse to send anyone. 3. If all else fails they ask Opec for an oil embargo. With an oil glut and oil sales down 30-40% there is no way they are going to do an embargo. That would simply give Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria and the US a chance to regain lost market share. Besides every oil exporter is hurting from the pandemic. So then the Palestinians are given a choice -- "you can sign the peace treaty or else Israel will annex your land" [/QUOTE]
