All right, Alexander, let's talk about the countries now that are claiming they will recognize a Palestinian state by September.

Collective West countries.

It started with Makron about a week, week and a half ago.

Mertz has been pressured, but still has not come out with a statement saying that Germany will recognize a Palestinian state.

Stomer the other day said that the UK will, of course, with caveats.

Macron also put caveats in there as well.

And we even have Canada now saying that they're ready to recognize Palestine, but of course

there are conditions with that recognition as well. Basically, the conditions revolve around some

sort of a ceasefire taking place. And Canada, Carney said that some sort of an election or

proper government must be formed in this

Palestinian state that Canada is ready to recognize.

I mean, they're putting conditions in there.

They're putting a timeline.

The timeline is September, and it also revolves around a UN general assembly meeting or

a security council meeting that will take place in September. But still,

you do have a lot of countries now in the collective West, which are now coming out,

and saying they're prepared to recognize a Palestinian state. Your thoughts? Well, this is an

utterly phony thing, if I may say so, straight a word.

It has two purposes.

The first is to take the heat off, the European leaders.

They're facing increasing criticism within their own countries because of what's happening in Gaza

and because of what they're failing to do to bring that situation to an end.
