ANALYSIS | An objective, neutral broker on Palestine-Israel question will greatly serve humanity
Relatives of Palestinians, stuck under the debris of a destroyed building of Abu Hasanain family, mourn as they conduct a search and rescue operation after the Israeli airstrike has been going on for 18 days in Deir Al-Balah, Gaza on 24 October 2023.Let us face the truth: only a sober, impartial and a visionary broker can best serve humanity in the Middle East on the Palestinian-Israeli question.
The US government is not, never has been, can never be, an honest broker in this conflict. Impartiality and integrity are non-negotiables for any successful mediation endeavour - be that among individuals, countries or any other disputants. That is what earns those who mediate, the respect and trust of all parties to a dispute.
The US and the UK cannot play the legitimate broker role in the long-running dispute between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples. As you read this, Palestinians in Gaza andSouth Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
